Have you heard about the latest productivity update from our friends at Google?
They've added a little feature to the Google Calendar that could make your life much easier – especially if you're a hybrid worker.
Remember way back in 2021 when Google introduced an option to share your working location with your colleagues? They've just made it better.
Now, you can set up multiple locations for any given day on your calendar. So whether you're splitting your time between the office and home or out and about as a mobile worker, Google has now got you covered.
Picture this: you're only in the office for half a day before heading to a client meeting. With this new feature, your colleagues will know exactly when and where to find you (OK, maybe you won't want to enable it in all cases).
Google is all about helping us work smarter, not harder. They know that loads of us are still working remotely or juggling a mix of office and remote work. And yes, this update is specially designed for hybrid workers.
It's only available to those with a Workspace account, including:
- Google Workspace Business Standard/Plus
- Enterprise Standard/Plus
- Education Fundamentals/Standard/Plus
- The Teaching and Learning Upgrade
- Nonprofits
Unfortunately, personal accounts won't have access quite yet.
The working location feature will be switched on by default. But if you prefer that your colleagues can't find you (and we're not judging… because we ALL get distracted while at work), you can quickly turn it off.
Contact us if we can help you get the most out of everyday applications like calendars and email.
