Yes, there are many ways you can keep in touch with your team when you’re in the office. The downside to these ways of keeping in contact is that they often demand too much attention you could be applying to something else. If you’re looking for a way to keep in touch with your team but have everyone focus on their work, you should check out Statushq.com. With this service, you’ll be able to start a group and add you whole work team to it. Each group member will then be able to update their status depending on what they’re doing and keep in touch with the manager or another team member that they need help from. This allows everyone to do their share and keep others updated on what they’ve done, so everyone knows that the others are working. On the whole, this should appeal to anyone who needs to manage their team but doesn’t want to distract them with instant messages and other attention stealing tools.
“Status is part of a new trend of LIGHTER communication tools. When you need to get up to date with your group, a single screen shows what everyone is doing and where they are.”
This is a creative twist on office communication. If they stick to what they’re doing, it could become an indispensable tool to any work group.
Doesn’t this require as much attention as everything else? What makes this so “lightweight”?
