Adaptive digital workplace provider, Workspace 365 has announced a major update to its platform, as it continues to deliver on its vision – Everything Simplified.
Communication .Simplified is the latest enhancement to the Workspace 365 platform and has been designed to improve employee engagement throughout an organisation.
The key feature of this update is the launch of Communities,which enables employees to have conversations within the platform, empowering them to interact and collaborate based on personal or professional interests.
Questions don’t always stop at policies; sometimes colleagues want to learn, grow or spark new ideas. Within the new Communities feature, employees can ask for help, share insights or connect around topics that matter, whether it’s coding best practices, sustainability or finding people they can play their favourite sports with.
This update comes as recent research into employee engagement shows a steady decline in cross-team communication, with the data suggesting many employees feel isolated or disconnected from the wider organisation. This is further supported by Workspace 365’s survey, which found inefficient communication and collaboration with colleagues is a challenge for almost a third (31%) of remote or hybrid workers.
Erik Nicolai, CEO and Co-founder of Workspace 365, said: “Our research highlighted an urgent need for more effective and efficient communication tools in order to address the rise of employees feeling isolated, disconnected or disempowered. This is even more acute with hybrid working now firmly embedded in the global workforce.”
