PERFORMANCE & PRODUCTIVITY

Connection is key when building a strong and successful workplace culture. When employees feel connected to their colleagues and managers, they are more likely to feel engaged and motivated, which leads to greater job satisfaction, better performance, and higher productivity.

Unfortunately, in today's hybrid and remote setups, it can be difficult to maintain meaningful connections with our co-workers. Long hours, remote work, and overall limited opportunities for face-to-face interaction can all contribute to a feeling of disconnection in the workplace. This is where technology comes in.

Benefits of Using Technology to Connect Employees

• Better & clear communication

Technology provides a platform for employees to communicate with each other in real time, no matter where they are located. Using chat and internal social network features can help break down barriers, share information, avoid misunderstandings, and collaborate on projects. This helps to build stronger relationships, foster a sense of belonging among employees and become more efficient by eliminating endless e-mail threads and unnecessary meetings. From 1-to-1 to group conversations, connect people from different locations. Instantly and securely.

• Greater collaboration

By using the right technology, employees can work together on projects and share information in real-time. This makes collaboration much more efficient and helps to keep everyone on the same page. By using workspaces, closed channels, groups for teams, leadership Q&A sessions, and other events, teams can connect and be empowered to work together to solve problems and innovate efficiently.

Continuous feedback is also essential to drive better collaboration & performance across teams and gather irreplaceable insight into meeting efficiency, intensity, and tonality of communication between people.

• Enhanced Engagement

There’s something powerful in feeling that you belong. Engaged employees perform better and stay in organizations longer. Understanding the level of passion your people have for their job and your organization already puts you a step ahead of the competition. But how do you inspire further emotional commitment? Understand what it drives, take action, and track how your efforts translate to outcomes.

• Increased Psychological Safety:

Technology provides a safe space for employees to share their thoughts and ideas without fear of judgment. This creates a more open and inclusive workplace culture where employees feel comfortable sharing their opinions and contributing to the team's success.

Some helpful tools to ensure psychological safety in a workplace are anonymous and custom feedback features that allow employees to provide feedback to each other without fear of judgment. Companies should embrace continuous feedback to drive engagement, better collaboration, and performance across teams, and create a more open and inclusive workplace culture where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas.
