2 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Whether it’s to support work from home, distribute workforce collaboration, or ensure
business continuity during disasters, companies want remote work solutions they can
depend on. According to a recent Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article[1], as part of the
coronavirus pandemic, Silicon Valley was one of the first areas to ask workers to work from
home. But the process was messy. Security precautions prevented Apple employees from
accessing work tools at home, and Yelp found itself quickly trying to purchase laptops for
anyone who didnʼt have them.

Few companies are fully prepared to transition into a fully remote work environment at a
moment’s notice. Some organizations need to comply with government regulations, others
have specific security requirements, and many use a wide array of digital tools almost
impossible to incorporate into the home environment. 91% of participating HR leaders in a
recent poll cited a lack of technology[2] as one of their biggest challenges in trying to create
a new remote environment

The coronavirus outbreak has triggered an anxious trial run for remote work on a grand
scale. Each company, organization, and school in the world needs to put in place a plan for
remote work and find an experienced technology partner to provide a secure, scalable and
modern solution.

COMMON MYTHS & CHALLENGES
IN REMOTE WORK
1. PRODUCTIVITY WILL WANE
RESEARCH
A well-cited study from Stanford [1] shows a massive productivity boost in remote
workers. Another research [2] study shows that the optimal human work-rest balance
is 52 minutes on, 17 minutes off. But in offices, where appearing busy is often seen
as a badge of honor and interruptions are all too common, there usually isnʼt the
ability to “unplug” for even just a few minutes.

MANGOAPPS
MangoApps remote work solution has been shown to increase overall productivity
by 15%. Employee dashboards give one-click access to your companyʼs entire
enterprise system. MangoApps’ integrated real-time communication tools,
collaborative notes, co-authored office documents, centralized resource libraries,
and much more are easily accessible to 100% of your workforce at any time and
from anywhere.

COMPROMISED
MANGOAPPS

ISO 27001, HIPAA, FIPS, FedRAMP, SOC, AICPA and more. All data in transit and
at rest are encrypted, and MangoApps comes with over 25+ application security
features including remote device management, data retention rules, 2FA, automatic
virus scanning of files, remote access logs, GDPR compliance and more.

5. REMOTE WORKERS CAN’T LEARN FROM CO-WORKERS & EXPERTS

MANGOAPPS

and organizes information, keeps captured knowledge in sync across all devices,

PRODUCTIVITY AT SCALE
DASHBOARD ACCESS FOR ALL ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS
MangoApps personalized dashboards are how employees start work right and stay
productive. Dashboards include all kinds of organization and time management widgets
like personalized task lists and customized calendars, helping employees visualize work,
organize assignments, establish priorities, and stay effective. Admins can allow employees
to have full customization, some customization, or no customization, over their dashboards
depending on their unique preferences and needs. They can also designate “sticky” or
permanent widgets that are present on every personal dashboard and cannot be edited or
deleted by employees.

CO-AUTHORING NOTES AND DOCUMENTS
Documents benefit from multiple perspectives, writing styles, and experiences, but when it
comes to remote work, seamlessly co-authoring a single document can be a bit tricky.

Real-time online
collaborative notes

The MangoApps platform makes co-authoring of documents easy. Users can track
changes, work in tandem, and always have the latest file available, removing the need to
juggling multiple versions of the same document and the risk of unsecured work, duplicating
efforts, or working with inaccurate information.

ORGANIZED RESOURCE LIBRARY
With MangoApps, businesses can easily store information in detailed libraries. Libraries
allow companies to organize documents, posts, hyperlinks, and other useful resources into
categorized areas, creating a digital index for your organization. Libraries are easy to access
and even easier to navigate and use, making storing and finding company documents while
working remotely super simple. Remote workers no longer need to take time to track down
company resources readily available to office employees.

Mango Libraries can house long term office information or become a quick resource center
during unexpected events. These specific resources not only help employees stay informed,
but also offer peace of mind during a troubling time, and guarantee immediate access to the
tools they need, no matter how working conditions change.

DO-NOT-DISTURB (DND) MODE

When you want to remove distractions, and
stay focused on your work, set your status
to ‘Do not Disturbʼ. The little red dot on your
profile picture will let everyone know not to
interrupt you at that time.

MangoApps will automatically make sure

that while in Do Not Disturb mode, you wil
not receive any MangoApps notifications or
sounds.

9 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

OUT-OF-THE-BOX 75+ INTEGRATIONS
Bring other tools and systems into one integrated digital workplace hub using our built-in
integrations. Built-in integrations are super easy to use; just turn-on a switch to enable and
check a few boxes to customize and configure.

10 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

CONNECT WITH 100% OF THE WORKFORCE
COMPANY, TEAM, & LOCATION-BASED NEWS CENTER
Posts in MangoApps quickly distribute mass communication to all of your employees.
Once created, posts are instantly accessible and generate push notifications across all
connected devices. For many businesses, posts work much like traditional company emails,
newsletters, and announcements, but without the all too common frustration of lost or
misplaced messages.

Because posts are centralized, searchable, and accessible, they ensure remote workers
always stay updated, included, and informed. And for especially important information,
leaders can create must-read posts with an acknowledgment required setting, where
employees indicate if they have read a post. This helps leaders keep track of and manage
who has seen the message.

Whether itʼs communication about an emergency or work specific changes, like updated
work from home practices and policies, company posts keep employees, remote or
otherwise, updated and informed.

11 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

RECOGNIZING PEOPLE & TEAMS
While working remotely is usually a benefit for both employers and employees, it does
come with its own set of obstacles. One such challenge remote workers may face is feeling
disconnected or unappreciated by leaders and peers. But a lack of recognition is rarely
because others donʼt notice their efforts; they just need a convenient way to share their
appreciation. MangoApps helps employers overcome the recognition gap by incorporating
an easy to use employee recognition tool right into the platform.

Our detailed recognition feature includes a wide variety of predesigned award templates,
making it easy to highlight the hard work of either a specific individual or an entire team.
And companies can, of course, always incorporate their own personalized recognitions.
With a little extra forethought and simple recognition abilities, remote employees will always
know that they are remembered and appreciated.

12 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

SERVICE MILESTONES & CROWDSOURCING STORIES
Unlike your traditional years of service award, service milestones in MangoApps go far
beyond the one-dimensional approach and brings your entire community together to
celebrate important moments in a career.

Managers are crucial in celebrating anniversaries and milestones, but managers rarely know
the entire story of their employees’ careers.

With crowdsourced story collection, colleagues are automatically invited to participate and
tell stories of their work together – creating a richer, more meaningful experience.

13 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

PROJECT EXECUTION AT SCALE
PROJECT SPACES & TASKS
Project spaces in MangoApps give employees a designated area to communicate, work
together, and centralize resources. Project areas are typically designed with specific
deliverables and end date in mind. Projects operate digitally and keep co-workers connected
regardless of their schedules or physical locations, making them ideal for remote employees.

And because project spaces have a specific goal in mind, they also allow leaders to assign
tasks. Assigned tasks help workers know whatʼs expected of them and include essential
information like due dates, task details, checklists, and more, making project completion in
a remote environment a breeze.

14 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

REGULAR STATUS UPDATES
In MangoAppsʼ online environment, regular status updates offer leaders and co-workers
an in-depth view of employee progress. Status updates remove the need for lengthy status
meetings and let everyone view updates at their convenience. Updates also create a written
progress record, giving both leaders and employees something they can easily refer back
to. While status updates are helpful in every setting, theyʼre particularly useful in a remote
environment. Updates keep both leaders and workers accountable while out of the office
and increase communication, trust, and responsibility across the organization.

When employees share regular status updates as part of a weekly progress report, team
members are always in-the-loop and know how to help and what to expect during the
next week.

15 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

SCREEN SHARING, VOICE CALLING, SCREEN CAPTURE
& VIDEO RECORDING
Whichever method you use, “screen sharing/calling” or “screen capture/video recording,”
you will be able to give participants a visual guide, clarifying explanations, saving time, and
reducing confusion in the remote environment.

Screen sharing and voice calling in MangoApps lets users show their screen live to employees
and guest users, perform screen captures, or record high quality, reliable video all from within
the MangoApps platform.

Instead of trying to explain an issue verbally or in writing, employees can just show each other
exactly what they mean, simplifying distance meetings and helping everyone continue work
without missing a beat.

16 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

COMPLIANCE FOR ALL INDUSTRIES

DATA RETENTION, FLAGGED CONTENT, & REMOTE ACCESS LOGS

MangoApps admins can specify auto-archive and auto-delete rules for different content
types as per company compliance requirements. Users can also flag content that may not be
appropriate in the workplace to admins to review using MangoApps’ in-built workflow.

Admins have access to remote access logs and get automatically notified of suspicious
access by employees, making remote management easy for the IT team.

17 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT, 2FA, STRONG PASSWORD
ENFORCEMENT
The built-in remote device management in MangoApps helps you secure and manage your
users’ mobile devices and laptops. You can suspend a user or remotely wipe the company
data downloaded on their device.

2FA helps secure the sign in to MangoApps by requiring a second form of authentication.
Users are required to enter a One Time Password (OTP) sent to their mobile device or email
after correctly entering their work account password. MangoApps allows admins to enforce
strong password policies for all their employees to resist and contain common attacks.

18 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

MUST-READ POSTS & COMPLIANCE QUIZZES
Use MangoApps for all your compliance communication scenarios. This includes policy
communication around employee harassment, safety, privacy, fraud, equal rights, etc. Make
sure that your employees understand all the compliance requirements by doing regular online
quizzes and ensuring that, as an organization, you stay 100% compliant.

19 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

CLOUD COMPLIANCE & CERTIFICATIONS
Because MangoApps is 100% hosted on AWS, it benefits from following key AWS compliances
and certifications. Please note the certifications below are achieved by the AWS cloud
platform, which MangoApps uses for its deployments.

REMOTE LEARNING & ACCESS TO EXPERTISE

MEDIA CENTER OF VIDEOS & PRESENTATIONS

Keep your companyʼs digital assets,
like training videos, presentations and
podcasts, in one centralized and user-
friendly location. Media content can be
viewed from within the MangoApps web
browser and mobile app, without having
to download additional software or codes.
The media center supports uploading,
viewing, and searching Microsoft
presentation files with an Office 365
integration. Microsoft files can be opened
and edited directly in MangoApps.

Admins have complete access to media insights, including the number of downloads, views,
and pins. Admins can also pull reports illustrating media analytics for the full company or
specific teams.

20 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

KNOWLEDGE CAPTURE & MANAGEMENT
MangoApps wikis are a great tool to build a knowledge base for teams that are accessible
from anywhere. Knowledge and tactics often lost in emails are captured and available in
wikis, and the entire team can view them from any device. A full-content search of wikis also
allows users to quickly find what they are looking for as they start typing in the top search
bar and watch MangoApps suggest matching wikis.

Remote teams can use wikis to create and share project proposals, functional specs,
how-to articles, design notes, OKRs, and more.

21 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

DOCUMENTS IN SYNC
MangoApps allows automatic document syncing across all devices and platforms with a
standalone, lightweight, and robust client for both PC and Mac.

MangoApps File Sync automatically synchronizes files between desktop and online
MangoApps folders, making sure that users always have access to the most recent and
updated documents.

All Synced Files

Available Offline

Document selective sync allows users to choose which teams or folders are actively synced
to the computer while everything remains accessible on MangoApps web.

22 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

INTEGRATED INSTANT CHAT
For remote workers, effective communication with co-workers and experts can be particularly
challenging. Remote employees donʼt work with colleagues face to face, limiting their
opportunities for work conversations.

See Who’s
Online & Offline

MangoApps helps workers overcome this obstacle by integrating company-wide instant

messaging right into our platform. No matter where you work or who you need to contact,
MangoAppsʼ built-in chats keep communication fast, easy, efficient, and free from third parties.

CULTURE THAT IN TURN DRIVES GROWTH

PEOPLE DIRECTORY & RICH PROFILES

MangoApps people directory is an online
repository of employee information.
Replacing the old fashioned printed or word
document directories, the people directory
offers employees a detailed org chart and a
comprehensive profile page for each worker.
Employee profile pages are updated regularly
by employees and provide not only basic
contact information, but also personalized
work content like work experience, project
history, and employee specialties.

23 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

For remote workers, who often have limited co-worker communication, an accurate employee
directory changes everything. Employees can not only find contact information quickly, but
they can also search for co-workers based on location, job type, expertise, and many other
indicators, helping them find people within the organization they would have never known
about otherwise.

COLLABORATING WITH PARTNERS

Any business that regularly works with clients knows the importance of consistent customer
communication. Fortunately, collaborating with partners is a lot easier in MangoApps.
MangoApps allows admins and other leaders to incorporate guest users directly into a group
or project in the platform, giving clients, vendors, contractors, and customers a centralized
space to work together, understand issues and accomplish goals.

Incorporating guest users also ensures that the style and method of communication they
experience never changes, even if individual employees transfer or leave your company. And
new workers can quickly come up to speed without interrupting customer service or missing
out on important information. Being able to work from anywhere and at any time makes a
real difference in forming strong, positive, client relationships. It makes it much easier to not
only understand issues but also consult with customers about their unique needs keeping all
involved on the same page.

24 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

ONLINE COMMUNITIES WITH PURPOSE
Groups are specific workspaces in MangoApps dedicated to a unique purpose. They give
workers a digital area to congregate, communicate, and collaborate on a specific topic
regardless of physical distance, work schedules, or even language barriers in some instances.
Groups can be interest or topic based and are typically wide in scope.

With groups, employees and authorized guest users can upload files, add documents, post
pictures, generate polls and surveys, and post news feeds all in one centralized, digital space,
making them a fantastic resource for both remote and office employees.

MangoApps also has location-based groups which organizes employees based on their
geographical location. Companies typically use location-based groups to share news in their
local community like unsafe weather conditions, report information about a specific office
location like building construction, and build friendships and boost engagement.
While at first glance location groups might seem irrelevant, theyʼre actually incredibly useful for
employees who work remotely, keeping them engaged, participating and informed.

25 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

VIDEO CALLING FOR F2F COMMUNICATION
Video calling is built right in to chat. Take any discussion from keyboard to camera with just
a few clicks. Video calling gives participants a visual guide and personalize communication,
clarifying explanations, saving time, and reducing confusion in the remote environment.
Instead of trying to explain an issue verbally or in writing, employees can just show each other
exactly what they mean, simplifying distance meetings and helping everyone continue work
without missing a beat.
