#Slackification

[zaramercer11]

The Slackification of chat apps is real—and I wrote about it.

[creativelifebynherie]

I've thought about using an online project management tool to assist myself and my two tween/teen with our basic home time, chore and school management 🤔.

There isn't alot of regular talk about this kind of approach for home management but maybe there should be.

What we do hear experts say, and where many families do agree with is that running a family is very much like running a business. So why not consider an online tool to help?

I'm looking into this. Will update soon!

Best information-sharing & collaboration tools for your workplace

Information and data form the backbone of innovation.

And this applies to all that we do daily - meeting up with clients, going to school, or making a pancake for breakfast! Information, perhaps, is the most important “I” in our lives.

In workplaces, too, info-tech has eased our lives to the point where everything is a click away! Reaching out is no longer an issue. Each day, more powerful information-sharing tools are launched in the market to make workplace communication and collaboration as simple as possible.

1. Pickcel’s digital signage solution

Pickcel’s digital signage software is a screen management platform that allows publishing any content to digital screens. You can use this tool to display welcome messages, put up notices instantaneously, show internal dashboards, broadcast live events & webinars.

Top features:

Cloud-based software with the ability to monitor screens at different locations from anywhere around the world

Workflow management via tailored integrations with external data sources.

Integrate the software with internal servers to show dashboards and KPI metrics on a digital screen.

Wide coverage across diverse hardware OS versions

Interactive touchscreens & touchless solutions for maximum customer engagement

Schedule HR correspondences, notices, welcome messages, building directories, employee achievements, client testimonials, and more

Pricing: Enterprise and Professional plans with a 14-day free trial for the latter. Pricing for the professional ranges from $15/device/month when billed monthly. Enterprise plan range depends on customizations, integration, and implementation effort.

2. ClickUp

Say yes to the all-in-one collaborative and task management software - ClickUp! It has more than what you see on the landing page (and trust me, you’d rather be glad you hit that signup option).

Top features:

Handle your projects per priority using the board view that helps you track deadlines easier

Build the perfect Customer Relationship Management (CRM) portfolio with data visualizations that allow you to see the closed, negotiating, and on-hold projects

Get your team on quick action or ask for help by tagging one or the group.

Track employees’ progress by assessing tasks with the list view and updating workflow on the board, with deadlines highlighted on the calendar!

Pricing: ClickUp has five pricing plans, one of which is entirely free and has several customizations that are parallelly available on the paid ones! Signups start from $5 per month for small teams, $12 for mid-sized businesses, $19 for larger and diversely spread teams, and a separate enterprise package that includes live onboarding training.

3. Microsoft Sharepoint

Essentially a document-management tool, Microsoft Sharepoint is ideal for remote workers to collaborate on content, design, presentations, etc. It also allows creation of company intranet forums.

Top features:

Integrated with Office 365 that stores, retrieves, tracks, and manages all documents and project updates

The real time collaborative feature allows the entire team to handle a project together while working remotely.

Schedule projects via Outlook and find them right on your SharePoint dashboard

Edit both content and webpage structure, modify navigation, edit or delete apps and customize integrations with integrated Office products.

Pricing: SharePoint offers only annual-billing subscriptions with three plans, one of which is included in the Office 365 plan of $23 per month. The other two individual SharePoint plans (without 365 access), the first one of which, priced at $5 per month, are for compact teams and organizations. The $10 per month program comes with customizable content and unlimited cloud storage.

4. Slack

If your company’s internal communications strategy emphasizes faster and streamlined messaging, replace emails with this Salesforce-owned information-sharing tool. Even though Slack is essentially a corporate internal messaging tool that lets you chat or talk with your colleagues, it also allows sharing information between two or more individuals.

Top features:

Slack allows sharing of all types of files: images, videos, GIFs, PDFs, PPTs, as well as zip files.

This tool allows you to connect directly to Google Drive, Dropbox, One Drive, etc., and share files & data.

Integrate up to 2400 apps with Slack (Woah!) and even get notified about regular calls and meetings with your team

Pin messages in your chat with a teammate so that instead of scrolling back and forth, you can access important conversations & files instantly.

Pricing: Slack offers Free, Pro, Business+, and Enterprise Grid plan, of which the Pro+ plan prices are set to rise from $8 per month when billed monthly to $8.75 per month starting September 1, 2022. The annual plan would increase from $6.67 per month to $7.25! Business+ is priced at $12.50 per month, while signups for the enterprise grid plan vary according to customizations.

5. Everhour

Well, if you thought Everhour is just a time-tracking tool, let’s rethink that a little! This is also a great data-sharing and project management tool.

Top features:

Inbuilt visual planners that show what your team is up to

Managing bills and budgets via integrated tools that provide real-time analysis of the amount spent

Task-dashboard management by keeping track of who is working on what

It seamlessly integrates with an auto-stop timer at the end of the workday alongside manual and timer-recorded activities.

EverHour uses Zapier to automate time-data transfer between over 1000 apps with zero technical knowledge.

Pricing: Annual plans billed at $8.5 per user/month and a year-long commitment without scope for refund. The monthly plan is for $10/month per user and offers flexibility to discontinue at anytime and determine what suits the organization the best.

Performance Measurement That Really Gets Results

New Post has been published on https://personalcoachingcenter.com/performance-measurement-that-really-gets-results/

Performance Measurement That Really Gets Results

There are several ways to measure performance, with common performance measurement tools including annual reviews, productivity records, 360-degree feedback and employee-manager structured objectives.

Stacey Barr is a specialist in strategic performance measurement and evidence-based leadership. She is the creator of PuMP®, a performance measurement methodology that routinely transforms measurement cynics into its greatest advocates.

Stacey is also the author of two books, Practical Performance Measurement: Using the PuMP® Blueprint for Fast, Easy, and Engaging KPIs, and Prove It!: How to Create a High Performance Culture and Measurable Success.

On this week’s episode, Stacey and I discussed some of the common mistakes that leaders and organizations make with performance measurement. We also explore what well-formulated performance measures have. Plus, Stacey has kindly made her book available for free to our listening audience.

Here are the most useful links from this episode:
