GoogleHave you heard about the latest productivity update from our friends at Google? 

They’ve added a little feature to Google Calendar that could make your life much easier – especially if you’re a hybrid worker. 

Remember 2021 when they introduced the option to share your working location with your colleagues? They’ve taken it up a notch.

Now, you can set up multiple locations for any given day on your calendar. So, whether you’re splitting your time between the office and home or out and about as a mobile worker, Google’s got you covered. 

Picture this: you’re only in the office for half a day before heading to a client meeting. With this new feature, your colleagues will know exactly when and where to find you.

Google is all about helping us work smarter, not harder. They know that loads of us are still working remotely or juggling a mix of office and remote work. This update is specially designed for hybrid workers. 

It’s only available to those with a Workspace account, including:

  • Google Workspace Business Standard/Plus
  • Enterprise Standard/Plus
  • Education Fundamentals/Standard/Plus
  • The Teaching and Learning Upgrade
  • Nonprofits

Unfortunately, personal accounts won’t have access just yet.

The working location feature will be switched on by default. But if you prefer that your colleagues can’t find you (we’re not judging; we all get distracted at work), you can easily turn it off.
