Make the most of your time off work with these tech tips from our Telephone and IT Support teams here at GHM:
Back up before you pack up
Check to make sure your data is backed up regularly, remotely, and redundantly in case you are affected by ransomware or another type of breach while away.
Open all access
Share files and folders in Teams so colleagues can access documents and information whilst you’re away. You can also access them more easily in an emergency if they are stored in the cloud.
Out of Office
Set your Out of Office in your emails, and also on other apps such as Teams, Slack, Google etc.
Shut down properly
When you shut down your device your system clears out temporary files, closes background programs, and resets your memory. The same goes for your business mobile.
Remote access
If you do end up working remotely, only sign in to private, password-protected WiFi networks. A personal hotspot on your mobile or VPN on your laptop is even safer. Activate two-step verification on all accounts before you travel.
The right kind of diversions
It’s easy to set up out of office messages and/or redirect calls to colleagues whilst away. And if you really have to check in, our VoIP telephone systems let you work from multiple devices.
