Every manager wants to create a welcoming work environment to promote employee well-being, productivity, and collaboration (all of which benefit your company!), but this can be tough when the team is separated by distance and time zones.

Whether your business is small or large, you want your employees to stay engaged and be collaborative. Using a company employee portal can help you accomplish these goals.

Telecommuting has been on the rise in recent years—a telling 44% growth between 2014 and 2019 in the U.S. However, the global coronavirus pandemic has forced companies to make telecommuting mandatory for many of their employees, increasing work-from-home rates exponentially.

Collaboration has always been necessary for business success. But large, in-person meetings and the sharing of physical documents can be a hassle. These traditional collaboration methods are often time-consuming and inefficient—consider how much effort it takes to get 10 people together in the same room at the same time.

Sharing files online with clients and other team members can often be a challenge. File-sharing solutions cater to different needs, and you may not be sure what approach you should take. Not to mention concerns about governmental regulations like General Data Protection Rules (GDPR).

Every day, organisations document tons of important information. While many of these organisations have taken steps toward digitising this information, not all are taking advantage of file management systems. For those that do, such systems quickly become invaluable.

With over 56% of organisations across the globe using Microsoft Office 365, it’s a good chance yours is one of them. And you’ve probably heard of Microsoft Teams, the communication-focused workspace that comes with the brand’s business suite subscriptions.

Microsoft Teams is all about communication—chatting, video conferencing, and more. We previously pitted Teams against both Slack and SharePoint, where users weighed in about how Teams performed compared to these close competitors.

Cloud storage solutions provide organisations with a useful way to keep track of their important files—without having to deal with cumbersome hardware. But decision makers often face the challenge of deciding on the best solution.

Whether you’re talking about strategic planning, project execution, talent development, or any other aspect of business, the importance of internal communication is clear: A failure to share information effectively inside the workplace could be detrimental to an organisation, causing strategies to fall flat, projects to fail, and employees to disengage.
