About this ebook
Melanie Gass
Melanie has written over 15 reference books on Microsoft technologies designed to embrace change and adopt technology with ease. In 2007, the thought struck within her that technology will be a defining moment for all of us and is critical to adopt. It caused her shift focus to help others adopt technology, and over the years watched businesses grow in ways they never imagined because they used technology to streamline business processes and sold a product or service in a new way. In this latest book, Melanie uses the most common ways we work with one another in person throughout the workday and translates it to a remote experience using Microsoft Teams. Each chapter includes step-by-step instructions and a tip to help you as you pioneer your own remote experience.

Transforming the Remote Work Experience - Melanie Gass
Introduction
Years ago, mobile telephones were the size of a brick and only made phone calls. Today, the mobile phone fits in the palm of your hand can replace your laptop. These advanced capabilities show us that technology changes rapidly, but it’s our shift as a culture to meet it that means the most.
At one time, we commuted to an office. We worked side by side, saw one another every day and discussed television episodes around the proverbial water cooler. Over time, our culture shifted with technology adoption and today it’s evolved to a new normal of blended work and friendship lines with co-workers from around the world staying connected through video and social media.
This guide is designed for those who are looking to mirror the comforts of the connected life you are used to in person through a remote working environment. I wrote this book based on my own experiences as an employee and business owner throughout my career to create a relatable experience you may be familiar with. This book translates the in-person experience to a guided approach leveraging Microsoft Teams for the remote working platform. While I’ve used many remote technologies and trained others on them over the years, I chose Microsoft Teams due to the robust platform of options to make your day more productive in addition to feeling connected to others. For the intentions of this guide though, we’ll focus on creating a new comfort using this digital space.
As you venture into this uncharted territory, my hope is that you find comfort working in a remote environment to stay connected and shift your life in a positive way.
