Even when in the same office, peers can have little insight into each other’s activities, encumbering project and plan completion. Adopting methods to visualize work and share this information in easy to navigate diagrams, dashboards, and maps supports collaboration and ensures everyone is on the same page. –Blair Young, Senior Director of Product, MindManager

HR Tech QnA with the Expert
Culture must vary depending on where an organization is in its growth journey. A start-up’s needs are very different from those of a company that’s been around for decades. Generally speaking, techniques should take into account the company’s vision and/or mission, its composition (are most people co-located or dispersed around the globe?), and its employee demographics. Older workers may want more structured approaches, whereas younger workers may be more comfortable with less formal interactions. Creating shared experiences can be particularly valuable in building and sustaining a shared culture.
