Remote teams have become a trend, one that will no doubt be followed for a long time. As I stated in the previous article, faster internet speed and better connectivity have brought the world together, and people with leading organizations have started to prefer working from home rather than enduring the troubles of commotion or the thought of someone looking over their shoulder, all this time being away from the comforts of their house. Its easier for organizations to hire people when they open up for remote working because they are not bound to choose talent only in their region, they get a worldwide view to hire talented employees, its a hassle to relocate that talented employee to your office location, instead people are taking the route of allowing them to work remotely. Even most of the teams prefer this idea, as this cuts their expenses by a huge margin. The only major problem being finding a good remote employee who has the determination and self-discipline to work with their maximum productivity even at home. To keep such a remote employee motivated throughout their work, I discussed a few techniques that might keep the team together and non-isolate the isolated being.

It seems the ideas are pretty straightforward to execute, but that isn’t the case. One needs to find the perfect platform for each of these issues and address them separately, which is a tedious task. Then, it is not very desirable to appreciate an employee on one platform, give & take feedback on another, and then switching to another to share a team victory of yours. What if you could do all of these things, and more, on a single platform?

Engazify is a simple yet effective way of increasing team productivity and keeping employees happy and motivated. 65% of employees said they wanted an effective feedback, which could change their course, tell them where they are going wrong and thus increase their productivity. 78% of employees said being recognized motivates them in doing their job and an appreciation of their work will keep them going, no matter what. With Engazify, you can do both, and even more, and keep your team motivated at all times!

Team Engazify has launched two separate solutions for two different categories of teams: Those who communicate on Slack and those who don’t. Let’s start with those who don’t.
