Boosting Productivity with Top Free Google Workspace Tools for SMBs

Many businesses migrate from Microsoft 365 to Google  G Suite (read our Microsoft Office 365 G Suite Migration Guide) for enhanced mobility, simpler pricing, and reduced Admin dependency. Google Docs, sheets, and slides are a comparable replacement for Microsoft’s Office products while Google’s G Suite email system is efficient and accessible. The best part of moving to Google however, is their diverse and rich ecosystem. Harnessing this ecosystem can amp your productivity. Let’s explore the top free G Suite tools.

Five Free G Suite Tools (Google Apps) To Enhance Your Productivity

Here is a list of the top five free G Suite Tools for enhanced team collaboration and increased productivity particularly for SMBs (small and mid-sized businesses)

Weekdone Weekly Reporting

All managers plan on meeting with their workers. However, sometimes the best-laid plans do not come to fruition. When the team misses regular meetings, managers are lost as to what projects their employees are working on, and employees do not have the opportunity to ask questions or raise concerns.

Weekdone is a tool for managers who want to improve team collaboration. It is a weekly reporting application that allows employees to fill in progress reports, plans, and problems. It helps managers achieve organizational alignment by setting structured goals. They can then use it to keep track of weekly plans and progress, provide valuable feedback, and move everyone in a unified direction. The app helps managers and employees communicate and keep the managers apprised of the project status.
