The effect of the pandemic is impacted on communication between collaborators who previously could talk face to face in the physical spaces of the offices and information flowed naturally, however, with the new “normality” it becomes it is a challenge to keep everyone informed and more than that, “connected” with what is happening.
Remote collaboration can be strengthened through tools that have certain attributes such as the ability to connect to human capital management platforms that are already available to employees and that are easy to use on any device, with an interface friendly user interface and, above all, that offer the greatest number of tasks that can be carried out in a single point, such as data storage, group management, general communication spaces such as a social network and personal chat, among others.
Usually, relevant communications are sent by means of an email, however, this practice has the risk of not getting all the participants to read the content and become interested or cause the much desired Engagement.
Part of the trends and good practices in HR is to use a tool that centralizes official communication for the company on the same platform.
