ORGANISATIONAL & TEAM COLLABORATION 

• Ensure you have backup plans for the work assigned to each team member, should anyone be unable to complete their activities
• Ensure all processes and tasks are documented and shared across your team, so tasks can easily be picked up and followed 
• If not already in place, start using a team/project management software tool to aid collaboration and conversation between team members. Examples include Microsoft Teams, Slack and Trello 
• Ensure your team knows how to use desktop sharing tools, so they can talk through work with team mates as they would have done face to face in the office
• Take advantage of any periods of low work activity for the team by having them complete or renew training certifications
• Take the opportunity to deliver departmental business process improvements that may have been outstanding for some time
• Arrange regular stand-ups to keep staff aligned, and morale high
