Collaboration among employees - solving some common problems

Some common focus areas for collaboration among employees in a remote setting:
Communication
No matter how much stress one puts on this point, it isn't enough. How many instances have you had when you wished that the communication had been clearer? Or that you had known more about something before starting to work on it? Would have saved a lot of time, wouldn't it?

A common advice given by almost all the people we've spoken to, is to over-communicate. And this is truly the main way to ensure that the needs are met. One other important thing is to document the things that are communicated so that coming back to it to refer is easy.
Timezone battles
Most remote teams are distributed all over the world. It is then obvious that the group will be made of people from varied time zones.

There are quite a few free as well as paid scheduling apps that can help you seamlessly connect and work across all physical and time borders. These apps not only check your calendar and that of the other person, but also suggest the best time for both of you, thus proving to be a one stop solution to all your time zone woes.
