Productive employees are key to a profitable company. In today's modern workplace, workstream collaboration is building a more efficient and engaged workforce of tomorrow.
Employees in organizations that leverage workplace collaboration tools are twice as likely to feel connected to the leadership in their company. This connection to leadership strategy, vision and purpose is shown to result in higher rates of employee engagement and efficiencies. The impact of these outcomes gives connected organizations a true competitive edge and has a profound impact on the bottomline.
Enterprise Collaboration Is Not One-Size-Fits-All
When choosing a collaboration tool it’s important to recognize that each tool serves different needs.
There are different types of enterprise collaboration tools that make up an enterprise collaboration ecosystem. Commonly known tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams work best for project-oriented work, while Workplace by Facebook and Yammer are great for information dissemination.
Different departments and teams may fit better with different platforms based on their needs and goals, making the use of more than one platform something that is most likely necessary for your company to reap the many benefits that come with a connected, collaborative workforce.
How To Choose the Right Collaboration Tool
Before deciding on a collaboration tool, take a look at your company’s culture and needs to determine what’s right for everyone. If possible, allow teams to choose their own collaboration platform that best suits their needs. The creation of a digital workspace that employees embrace starts with an understanding of how your company works together.
Of course, community management and sponsorship is critical for safe and successful adoption, as these leaders set clear expectations of what conversations go into each channel or group. Take the time to evaluate tools for their intended purpose and make sure you understand and deploy your collaboration tools thoughtfully.
