Leading a remote program team requires technology to keep communication clear and collaboration strong. We use Microsoft Teams, structured tier check-ins, and dashboards to ensure transparency without overwhelming teams. With daily dashboards, we track trends, adjust workloads, and make informed decisions. Virtual problem countermeasure boards and evidence-based tools help teams refine workflows and improve turnaround times. Cross-functional huddles and workgroups align MAs, RNs, Pharm Techs, and Clinicians, ensuring smooth transitions and preventing duplication. By using technology intentionally, we keep teams connected, proactive, and effective.

Leading a remote program team at TEKCHILLS Foundation requires leveraging the right technology to ensure seamless communication, collaboration, and impact. I rely on WhatsApp for real-time updates and coordination, keeping our volunteers and team members connected, especially those in rural areas. For structured discussions and team check-ins, Zoom provides an essential platform for virtual meetings, training sessions, and strategic planning. To sustain and grow our initiatives, I utilize PayPal for donor contributions, ensuring secure and efficient financial support for our programs. Additionally, Google Ads helps expand our reach, attract supporters, and generate awareness about our mission.

When leading a non-profit team, work is often done remotely. Especially if that team is comprised of volunteers. Using standard communication tools like email and text messaging is great, but for more in-depth involvement, consider using a volunteer management system like Better Impact or Volunteero. These platforms allow you to not only communicate with both individuals and groups, you can also collect data about how a particular shift went, how long the shift was, how many people were at an event, etc. This data can then be pulled together in a report that allows you to strategically plan and engage your team, whether they are in person or remote.

I think Zoom is a great tool if used properly. Make sure you don't ASSUME everyone is benefiting! Some people do benefit, others may feel left behind by Zoom or other the that doesn't get used in tandem with site visits or followup calls. Things can feel impersonal, and that can lead team members to feel unheard or not fully seen. Always ALWAYS do followup with people you work remotely with, even if it's just a quick phone call or an in person check in once a month.
