Collaboration Challenges in the Modern Workplace
Employees use a huge variety of tools – sanctioned by the company or not – to do their jobs. One study found that the average enterprise runs more than 300 apps. Another study determined that employees have to switch between apps every two to three minutes.
The negative impacts grow exponentially as more tools and systems are added. Processes and projects get splintered among myriad channels and platforms. Content, conversations and other information are spread piecemeal across an increasingly fractured collaboration landscape. Eventually, employees spend more time trying to chase down the pieces and stitch them all together than they spend doing actual productive work. It’s a hole many companies fall into. But there’s a way out.
Jive’s Collaboration Platform Changes How You Work
Jive collaboration software brings all of your information, conversations and people under one roof, where everything is easy to find, access and use.
Jive’s industry-leading collaboration platform not only unites all the elements needed to get work done in one connected environment; it also creates order out of chaos by putting all the pieces in context, organizing them around projects, teams and processes. For example, you can find all the documents related to a particular project in the same place with all the people working on that project and all the conversations they’re having around it. No more scavenger hunts and no more endless hours spent trying to assemble the fragments into a working whole.
Jive collaboration software isn’t confined to collaboration. It’s also a complete interactive intranet for up-to-the-minute company communications, employee engagement, onboarding, knowledge sharing, employee support and more.
