Overcoming the Remote Work Challenges
During the Covid-19 pandemic, our Todos Juntos value, a Portuguese phrase meaning ‘all together’ has shown it’s true strength and meaning.
Todos Juntos is defined by the belief that our goal is always to act for the greater good of all teams, even when it’s beyond our area of expertise. Now, more than ever, we are living our Todos Juntos value, working closely with our colleagues and celebrating our shared achievements.
Following the World Health Organisation and Governments recommendations, most of our teams have been working from home for the past few months. This new reality brings with it new challenges, and in this blog article, I will present some of the actions taken by our Software Engineering team to be as efficient as possible.
For many of us, the main challenges of remote working are the way we communicate with our peers, maintaining focus on our tasks and making this new reality as smooth as possible. Now, more than ever, we have to communicate clearly and concisely between us from a distance.
Clear communication doesn’t necessarily mean that we need to be talking all the time. It means that we must be clear and effective in the way we communicate. We should only interrupt our peers’ tasks when it is necessary, to cause the least amount of disruption to their concentration and focus.
