Hi,

It’s hard to believe, but many of us have been working remotely for half a year now. We’ve even become a remote-first company at LiveChat, and we’re as productive as ever.

I’d also like to invite you to our online hackathon. Oh, and we have a beautiful, retro keyboard up for grabs in a new contest!

Trends in remote work and what they mean

While providing an inside look at LiveChat, the results of our survey also show answers that reflect general trends that are happening around the world right now. Surveys conducted by The New York Times and another conducted jointly by Buffer and AngelList showed similar results. Human resources and how we work are undergoing a dramatic shift, and businesses will need to keep up and adapt.

What comes to your mind when you think of creativity and innovation?

Is there anything that hasn’t already been said about creativity? Something other than catchphrases, buzzwords, and slogans? Something that has value and real-life applications? Aleksandra, technical writer, and Filip, platform manager, delve into the topic to find it out.

We asked our friends from different companies for three quick tips they’d share with other LiveChat users if they met them in an elevator. Check out business hacks from Melissa Hannam, Director of Marketing at Valley Driving School, and reach out to us if you want to share some of your tips.

Private chat to-dos using Microsoft TODO

If you’ve been looking for an easy-to-use tool that would help you organize your daily work, consider trying out Private TODOs. This integration allows you to create a list of to-do items that are always at hand in the Details section. You can also create customer-related and chat-related notes, which you can later on search and filter.

Private TODOs uses a free Microsoft TODO account to keep and manage your LiveChat to-do list. Don’t worry, your private lists won’t be edited. The application stores your LiveChat to-do list separately from other lists, so you can safely use your active Microsoft TODO account.
