If we were to ask you that on average how many simple tasks still remain incomplete despite a plethora of email exchanges daily, what would your answer be? And how much time does it normally take to brief your remote teams on goals or progress? How easy is it to keep track of multitude of projects running? How many employees are complaining of demotivation and a feeling of not being counted? If your answers make you cringe, you should consider updating your collaboration tools. With remote working being the new normal in today’s world, organizations that can optimize team collaboration, communication and motivation and excel at remote team management are the ones that will thrive.

However, most tools in the market, while offering solutions only focus on one aspect of team collaboration. This in itself hampers efficiency and teams end up spending too much time updating the complimentary software.

The tool should make remote team management easier, improve employee engagement and motivation and hence result in improved team productivity.
