5 Ways to Maximize Remote Productivity This Summer

As summer heats up, many companies face a seasonal shift in productivity. Employees take vacations, hybrid work surges, and distractions increase. But with the right technology and strategy, your business doesn’t have to miss a beat. At Bizco Technologies, we specialize in empowering organizations with the tools they need to stay productive, no matter where work happens. 

Here are five ways to keep your remote and hybrid teams working efficiently this summer:

 

1. Optimize Your Remote Work Technology Stack 

If your team is relying on outdated tools or juggling too many platforms, it’s time for a mid-year upgrade. A streamlined, secure, and integrated technology stack can make all the difference. 

Consider leveraging: 

  • Cloud-based collaboration tools like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace 
  • Project management software such as Asana or Trello 
  • Unified communications  

Need help assessing your current setup? Our Managed IT Services include strategic planning and support to help your team work smarter, not harder. 

 

2. Secure Your Mobile Workforce

Summer often means working from different locations like hotels, cabins, or even poolside patios. That flexibility comes with security risks. Ensuring all mobile devices are protected is essential to maintaining productivity and data integrity. 

Mobile Device Management (MDM) helps: 

  • Encrypt sensitive data on smartphones, tablets, and laptops 
  • Enforce password policies and remote wipe capabilities 
  • Manage app installations and updates remotely

Our team can help you implement a robust MDM solution that balances flexibility and security. 

 

3. Use Proactive Monitoring to Prevent Downtime

When IT issues happen, they don’t care if your staff is on vacation. One small glitch can snowball into major disruptions if left unchecked. That’s why proactive monitoring is key. 

Bizco’s 24/7 monitoring and support ensures: 

  • Systems stay online with real-time alerts and issue resolution 
  • Patch management and updates are always up to date 
  • You can rest easy knowing your tech is being watched—even after hours

This kind of support is crucial during high-absence seasons like July and August. 

 

4. Upgrade Home and Mobile Workstations  

Not all home offices are created equal. If your remote employees are working on outdated devices or struggling with poor AV setups, it’s time to invest in better hardware. 

We recommend: 

  • Dual monitors and docking stations for better ergonomics 
  • Noise-canceling headsets and webcams for seamless virtual meetings 
  • Commercial-grade laptops and accessories configured for your IT environment

5. Educate and Empower Your Employees

Even the best tech won’t drive productivity if your team doesn’t know how to use it. Summer is the perfect time to conduct refresher training, especially for new hires or hybrid workers. 

Topics to cover include:
