Use Google Calendar? Check Out These Productivity Updates

If you’re using Google Calendar for any part of your business, you’ll want to know about some recent productivity enhancements Google has added to Google Workspace (formerly G Suite, Google’s cloud-based office suite). Even if you don’t — maybe you’re a Microsoft 365 and Outlook Calendar kind of organization — it might be worth taking a look at the ways Google is taking leaps forward in terms of productivity. That’s especially true if you have a remote or hybrid workforce. Let’s dive in — here’s what you need to know. <h2>Location Sharing Got an Upgrade</h2> Back in 2021, in response to the influx of remote workers brought on by the pandemic, Google introduced workplace location sharing in Google Calendar. It was (and still is) a handy way to let your colleagues know some context about where you’re operating. If you’re in a different time zone or working from home while tending to kids, now there’s a subtle way to inform your coworkers that you aren’t in your regular office or cubicle. This is the feature Google has just supercharged. Now, you can create multiple locations and even schedule when your Calendar will show you at each one. This is perfect for hybrid workers who might be in the office one day and home the next, or who might even change locations during a work day. <a href="https://medium.com/@zackcalloway/use-google-calendar-check-out-these-productivity-updates-b1ba31614cd8">Learn More</a>
