As school environments grow more dynamic—with hybrid roles, part-time staff, and off-campus duties—knowing where your colleagues are working is essential for effective collaboration. One powerful feature often overlooked in Google Workspace for Education is the “Working Location” setting. By enabling this, schools empower teachers, administrators, and support staff to update their daily location, offering visibility into who’s on-site, remote, or unavailable on any given day.

This setting integrates directly into Google Calendar, making it easier to coordinate meetings, allocate resources, and avoid scheduling conflicts. It’s especially useful for distributed leadership teams, rotating support roles, or traveling educators, ensuring smoother workflows and better planning throughout the school. Most importantly, it reinforces a modern, flexible culture without sacrificing accountability or communication.

At Get Set Tech, we help education leaders unlock high-impact Google Workspace settings that enhance both operational efficiency and collaboration. Activating working location visibility is a small change that delivers big results in scheduling clarity, staff coordination, and overall campus communication.
