Manage Remote Work with 1Office Now
The Covid-19 pandemic led to widespread social distancing, forcing businesses to switch to remote work to ensure employee health and business continuity. This presents a challenge for managers: how to manage remote work effectively.
Remote work is an inevitable trend for businesses in the Covid-19 era
According to the latest survey of over 2,000 managers and remote employees in the UK and the US:
- 90% of remote employees do not feel connected to their company and colleagues.
- 15% feel disconnected from other departments.
- Only 3% of them feel connected to their manager/CEO.
These figures reflect the unfortunate reality that businesses are still struggling with the challenge of managing and evaluating remote work.

Challenges for Business Owners in Managing Remote Work
Most businesses operate according to a general process, and adhering to this workflow yields the best results. However, each department has its own processes and working methods. Without a tool to manage these processes, businesses will encounter several problems, such as:
- Heavy workloads, but employees often pass the buck and lack a sense of responsibility.
- Forgetting or missing tasks frequently, leading to delays in plans and progress.
- Lack of tools to facilitate communication between departments.
- Lack of tools to monitor and measure work efficiency.
- No tools to digitize workflows for each department in the business.
In fact, 95% of business managers understand the importance of work management tools, but only about 56% of them have found the right one.

How to manage remote work is always a major challenge for business owners
1Office – An Effective Remote Work Management Solution for Businesses
As business owners, CEOs and managers have often felt the pain of being unable to track and monitor work, lacking solutions to foster team cohesion, and consequently losing talented employees. But things are different now. With the WORKPLACE feature from 1Office, businesses can easily resolve all bottlenecks in managing and evaluating work performance.
Assign Tasks by Position and Department
Every business has numerous different workflows, and each process involves multiple departments. How to manage these processes is a challenge that causes headaches for many business owners.
With 1Office, businesses can digitize all their processes on a single platform. When a task is created, the system assigns it directly to the relevant department manager. The manager then delegates the task to a specific employee on their team. This feature ensures that work is always assigned to the right person and completed on schedule, allowing managers to easily track and evaluate performance.
Allows for Setting Concurrent Conditions
1Office allows managers to approve tasks concurrently, helping to reduce steps and shorten the time it takes for related departments to resolve work.
Workflows often involve numerous concurrent conditions that must be met. For example, to get a project approved, it might require signatures from 2-3 department heads (a concurrent condition). The person responsible would have to go from one office to another to get approvals. However, 1Office allows managers to approve multiple tasks from various departments concurrently on a single system, which shortens the workflow. It also helps managers easily track, monitor, and manage work performance.
Task Branching
When a problem arises during the work process, the system allows users to branch tasks without affecting the overall workflow.
Each task has its own process and is only completed when approved and launched by a manager. However, work doesn’t always go smoothly; a small mistake in one step can disrupt or even cancel the entire process. With the task branching feature in 1Office, users can edit and complete tasks through a separate branch without affecting the main workflow. This means your process will not be interrupted, which is a major advantage that helps keep work operating as flexibly as possible.
Flexible Configuration and Resource Security in the Execution Process
1Office helps effectively secure the tasks and documents of each department
Allows managers to directly set up tasks and secure important company and departmental documents (contracts, product quotes, etc.) without affecting the next step in the process.
Comprehensive Business Management Toolkit
Connect the content and design departments on the same workflow
1Office allows all relevant departments to be connected within the workflow on a single platform, making control and statistics easy.
Visual Reports with Diverse Alert Creation
Displays alert signals on the workflow when an employee does not complete work on schedule
The alert feature is set up by the user on the system. When a task is behind schedule, the system will issue an alert, helping managers easily monitor the progress of each team member. At the same time, these alerts will help employees automatically adjust their pace and work productivity.
In general, the remote work model requires every business to redefine its operational goals and perfect its digital technology platform. Let 1Office be the tool that helps your business enhance connectivity and work more effectively from a distance.
1Office is the leading comprehensive business management platform in Vietnam and a pioneer in providing remote work management solutions for businesses. If you are looking for a solution for remote work management, take a few minutes to learn about the WORKPLACE toolkit, which helps businesses achieve the best performance in remote work management.
