5 hot workplace collaboration trends (and 2 going cold)
Workplace collaboration is vital for the flow of knowledge across an organization, and, ultimately, to enable employees to get work done. Get it right and collaboration between workers can result in better coordination of shared projects, a boost to creativity, faster problem-solving, and an increase in individual productivity.
The rise of remote work in recent years has highlighted the importance of connecting individuals, no matter where their desk is or what time zone they’re in. At the same time, the tools used by teams to work together continue to evolve quickly: there are a huge range of collaboration software products available to businesses, from email to real-time chat apps and video meeting platforms, while collaboration functions are also built directly into productivity, project management, and other business apps these days. Looking further ahead, there’s even the prospect of conversing in virtual environments.
