- Schedule weekly calls with your manager: A weekly virtual call set up by YOU, will be virtually unforgettable.
- Implement a COVID-19 Task Force: Lead a committee to monitor the rapidly changing environment.
- Define remote work best-practices for your organization: Even something as simple as recommending people use the video feature in conference calls can help cut through the communication challenges inherent in non face-to-face meetings.
- Send regular status updates: When teams are suddenly moved to remote work it can be difficult for managers to know what everyone is doing with the valuable time the company is paying them for. Don’t let your boss wonder what you’re up to, send a short status update at the end of each day.

- BONUS: Find 3 examples and summarize them in an email to your team with suggestions on how your organization could implement similar strategies.
