Follow these 4 tips for better extra-office communication between your office-based staff and other office locations.

1. Schedule weekly web meetings for your various working groups to keep everyone on the same page.

2. Use those web cams so your group members can see each other.

3. Don’t assign tasks randomly to your associates. Use project management software to organize routine tasks within a central project. The more automated your processes are the more harmonious

4. Have the management visit each remote location on a regular basis. Not possible- have the boss hold a quarterly web meeting with each location. Clear the air by using cloud software.
