What's New in Google Workspace to Improve Productivity

To capitalize on a future of work that is more flexible, Google is releasing improvements to its suite of productivity tools. Managing a business has never been simple. Companies have faced various difficulties in the last couple of years ranging from adjusting to a remote world to reduced innovation and teamwork. 

Google has unveiled an updated version of Workspace (the productivity package you presumably still call G Suite). With the most recent free Google Workspace Essentials plan, Google hopes to attract more business customers by providing them with the essential Workspace productivity tools (except Gmail).

Workspace (G Suite) and Microsoft Office 365 are the components of the office suite market in the US. Google Workspace (G Suite), which had a 59.41% market share in October 2020, is the industry leader according to a Statista Report. Most of us have been able to adjust to the modern environment and come up with fantastic solutions. 

Organizations already accustomed to using the cloud for business have switched from renting office space to renting cloud space. It makes it less essential to report to work physically and to sign up for previously deemed superfluous productivity tools. This transition has raised the issue of maintaining the same productivity level at home as in the office. Fortunately, Workspace offers a quick solution to that problem.

What Is Google Workspace?

Google Workspace is a pool of communication and productivity apps accessible through Gmail. Previously called G Suite, Workspace improves the user experience to accept the new era of remote work. In other words, Google Workspace is a repackaged G Suite with new abilities structured to increase teamwork and productivity.

It contains all the familiar and best productivity apps like Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet.
