In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people working from home is larger than it's ever been, and it's continually growing. Jobs that used to be tied to an office are now open to workers around the country. Because of this, the ways a team can collaborate have changed, and management must change with them. Employees may not be in town to attend in-person-only meetings, and paperwork isn't as easily passed from one person to another. Luckily, a wide array of collaboration solutions exist to help bridge these gaps. Here's a guide to how they can increase productivity throughout your business.

How Collaboration Solutions Boost Your Employees' Productivity

What Collaboration Solutions Exist

Even before the spike in remote work, collaboration tools, like group messengers, video conferencing tools, and e-calendars were gaining traction. The technology's horizons are expanding now because of increased demand. Some services offer collaborative platforms to screen share and take screenshots, allowing for more cohesive troubleshooting and process documentation, both in real-time and asynchronously. 

These collaboration solutions also now come in the form of hardware. Devices like HP®'s Elite Slice G2 make video conferencing even easier by providing a dedicated tool for joining meetings remotely. Instead of requiring a laptop or desktop setup, this device hosts your business's video conferencing tool of choice on an intuitive, easy-to-use, extremely portable machine. 

How They Improve Workflow

These tools streamline remote and in-person processes, make communication easier, and ultimately save your business money by saving your employees time. Useful technology allows workers to get more done with their time, boosts engagement, and simplifies training processes for old and new workers alike. With good implementation of good technology, revenue goes up, the costs of operating go down, and employees are more satisfied.
