Have you heard of the scrum method and morning stand up?
The Scrum Method was designed for smaller groups (up to ten members) who set themselves goals and a timeline, in which they want to achieve this goal. During this time, they monitor the progress of the project.
Morning stand up lets your team know what you have in plan for the day. This enables you to keep track of your work progress, while your coworkers and managers are always up to date with your work.

Enable flexible working hours
It is important that workers are given flexible working hours. Not only companies, but educational institutions also had to close their doors. During this time, the children are home and learning the same things, as if they were in school – but now their parents are the teachers. Everyone knows best when his or her child is learning the most effectively and when he / she can do his / her work, so enable flexible working hours.
Each team member should then choose his or her own work corner and arrange it. People are more productive in the company office because it is well-organized. An organized workspace will surely contribute to your productivity.
