I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.
Working remotely is what almost everyone is doing these days, it seems. Even if you work in an office, you may need to take work home occasionally. Like any other new approach, though, there are pros and cons.
If you’re working remotely, it’s a great way to stay on task. You won’t be distracted by a conversation at the water cooler, a coworker needing your help in person, or anything else that could contribute to a late project. Of course, if you have children that are staying at home with you, this may be even more distracting.
Another advantage is wiping out the commute. This can take a lot of time out of your day, especially if you live in a modern American city where there is a lot of traffic. That racks up gas costs, wear and tear on your vehicle, and more. Add a commute onto both ends of your day, and you may very well be putting in ten or twelve-hour days. You may love your job, but hate your commute--which could lead you to quit faster than you otherwise might.
There’s also a lot of flexibility. If you’re not clocking in and out, you can put in your hours whenever it works for you and your employer. This makes it much more family-friendly than an office job. You’ll also have the advantage of not having to take time off for ‘snow days’, when you can’t commute to work or your kid’s school cancels.
For employers, it’s also a mixed bag. You don’t have to pay for building costs, utilities, or other expenses associated with an on-site location. That can save them a lot of money, especially if employees are providing their own equipment. They get to experience weather advantages, too--they won’t need to deal with employees calling in because their car broke down, or it’s too snowy to get to work. The flexibility can work in their favor, too. If they provide family-friendly hours, employees won’t have to take time off to take their child to a dentist appointment, or some other task.
However, there are cons for employers and employees. The type of relationships fostered at work might be great for collaboration. It can help teams build camaraderie and get to know each other. Even though teams can still connect over collaboration tools like Slack, it’s not quite the same.
Employers may also be worried about productivity. There’s not the same sense of accountability that there is an office. If employers are worried about slacking off, it can create a stressful, low-trust environment for everyone.
It can also be harder when it comes to collaboration. If you pop by someone’s desk often, you know exactly what their status is on your project. When you’re working remotely, you might have no idea what they’re doing.
Putting in the effort to overcommunicate and set clear expectations can clear up a lot of the issues with working remotely. If it works for you, it can save on commute time, wasted productivity, and money! Looking for technology suggestions to help you get started?

I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.
Outstanding trainers with expertise and a lot of patience at a fair price. I have used them for two years and they have given me a much better understanding of the in's and outs of how to use many aspects of my computer. It is a pleasure to have them come to my home and work on my own computer problems.
My tech from GoovyTek has been terrific. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explains things really well. I enjoyed learning new tools and features on my smart phone and computer. They have made doing things a lot easier and more enjoyable.
I had a serious issue with my bank website not being secure. This was a very technical problem. I used the Remote Session option to get help. My GroovyTek trainer kept at it until we finally resolved the issue.
Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!
I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.
Very pleased with the experience. Knowledgeable trainer who was most helpful. Highly recommend the service.
Dear GroovyTek team, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this very supportive and beneficial service you provide! I am so grateful!
I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.
Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.
A wonderful service in every aspect from calling in to set up an appointment with GroovyTek and follow ups as well as the fabulous help, patience and expertise of the tech who came to the house to work with me with my computer issues. I would highly recommend GrooveyTek for all your computer needs! Thanks so much!
Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
I have always had the best computers that Apple offered, but the problem was that I never knew how to use them. Thanks to my GroovyTek trainer, my tech skills have increased exponentially and I am feeling more competent and confident with each lesson.
My tech is patiently bringing me (at age 79) into the computer age. I am so glad that I found him through GroovyTek. What a wonderful gift!
