Instant messaging is by far one of the best inventions of humanity. We bet that many young people will agree with this statement. This technology enables us to stay in touch with literally anyone in real time despite the distance. And it’s especially important for students. With the help of messengers, students can chat with their family and friends. At the same time, they can connect with their classmates and teachers to create collaborative learning opportunities.

Failure to meet deadlines, long email threads, disputes during meetings, poorly planned projects, missing files, delayed feedback, you name it. How about meetings where people are talking to each other and thinking they are discussing the same thing, but it is obvious that they don’t? Rings a bell? Of course, it does. We’ve all been there. Team communication isn’t always as effective as we’d want it to be, and it has a direct impact on every area of an organization.

When done right, technology can help companies create great customer experiences. This is why 82% of top-performing businesses say they pay close attention to the human experience around digital and technology, according to a study by PwC. However, IT Services companies often view the quality of service through the lens of applications and infrastructure, while their customers are more concerned with outcomes and usage. This creates a disconnect, which can lead to low customer satisfaction.

Business instant messaging is not a nice-to-have addition to the workplace anymore. Instead, it is an integral communication practice for companies of all sizes. Remote and hybrid work models are becoming more prevalent. With the rise of digital workplaces, everybody needs a quick, efficient, and familiar way to communicate. Business instant messaging is exactly that.

As companies around the world design the next phase of work, one thing is becoming clear: the hybrid model is here to stay. Though distributed work is not a new concept, more companies than ever before are redefining these blended ways of working to prioritize inclusion and equity. Within this shift, there’s potential to reimagine the work environment as a place that fosters collaboration like never before and unlock a new, more effective way forward.

A diverse and inclusive workplace in which every employee feels comfortable enough to contribute his best work and share his full range of ideas and concerns is essential to the overall efficiency of the business in the long run. It hardly matters which industry your business falls under; workplace diversity and inclusion (DEI) should be top priorities. DEI is the Workplace essential for progress in the long run, both from a societal and economic standpoint.

Owning your own startup can be fun at first. You have big dreams of things you want to accomplish after the first six months, the first year, and the first few years. Then you invest your capital, time, and energy to build a team and set up an operational structure that is supposed to deliver these results. But time and unexpected events (such as a pandemic, the loss of a loved one, or a government policy) stop you in your tracks.

When managing a team, the first thing to get straight is that what's valid for individual assignments is also applicable for group projects. In other words, you will have to define the objectives, understand the tasks, and proceed with setting clear expectations. That said, in group work, you will have to face other complexities. Whether it is for a student project or handling a team in the office, you can try to implement the following practices to ensure the best outcome.

If the last two years have taught us anything, it’s that remote work is here to stay. The global pandemic has shifted the way organizations and teams work, as well as the way we all communicate with one another. For many teams, email is the go-to tool for managing and imparting information. But, this method is linear and inefficient. And dare we say…slightly archaic.
