Technology has improved overall workplace productivity dramatically, with communication and collaboration technology enabling remote and flexible employment structures, advanced team interaction, and better information management systems.
Businesses that implement appropriate and constructive communication and collaboration technologies improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs, and work more efficiently. Moreover, employing one platform that successfully manages the majority of these needs prevents confusion and distraction.
The following benefits of such technology ultimately result in greater productivity and business success:
Secure, consistent access to information
Any time, any place
Comfortable environment
Mobile to the nth degree
Reducing travel time
Employee satisfaction
Hubgets provides collaboration and communication solutions that encourage transparency and enhance productivity. Their intelligent presence system is a unique feature that detects when users are too busy to be disturbed, so while other applications may compete for a user’s attention, Hubgets keeps teams connected and avoids distracting, counter-productive interruptions. Consider the amount of time spent attending to distractions; research has highlighted that we spend an overwhelming amount of time changing focus from core tasks to side notes, providing feedback, emailing, and attending meetings, and this means less time put into our actual jobs. However, these functions are necessary and can’t be entirely ignored. This is where a tool like Hubgets, featuring chat, voice, video, file sharing, and team knowledge management capabilities, puts a business ahead of the game.
While Hubgets recognizes the benefits of chat tools, they’ve adopted a notification system that adapts to your mood. Besides the “Busy” option that puts notifications on hold and the “Available” option that leaves you wide open to conversation, they’ve implemented a third option called “Hubgets Knows Better” that uses an advanced algorithm. The catch behind this unique presence feature is that it allows Hubgets to interpret whether or not you’re too busy to be interrupted, based on your activity. While replying a direct message or participating in a Topic conversation you probably have time for notifications, but when deeply focused in a different browser tab or some document, Hubgets knows not to disturb you. Of course, all communications are stored and made available for when you do have the time to interact. The handy Team Board makes it easy to check out what fellow team members are up to, ensuring everyone’s always in the loop.
