How can Teamado increase productivity?

Teamado’s daily check-ins are designed to become a crucial part of every teams morning routine. You can easily keep up to date with daily tasks and the progress of ongoing projects by sharing a short but effective update with both wider and individual teams.

 

A daily review will become second nature as a time for teams to highlight any struggles or obstacles they’re facing and break these barriers down together to get jobs efficiently ticked off to-do lists.

 

Where before your team may have dealt with problems alone and let their productivity be affected, Teamado keeps everyone on the same page by making sure that one person’s problem is everyone’s responsibility! One person’s downfall is likely to be another person’s area of expertise and regular daily review’s can be used to play to each other’s strengths and avoid anyone hitting a dead end.

 

Here are some of the main ways that a daily review can play a significant role in increasing productivity at work…

Daily review questions

When engaging in your daily review, you’ll be asked a number of questions designed to help your team reflect on previous obstacles and enter into a positive mindset for the day ahead. These questions are completely customisable and provide a space that encourages teams to air their grievances, no matter how big or small. You can kick-off each day with a clear mind and boosted spirits, even on dreary Monday mornings!

First, reflect on the previous day’s work - did you achieve all of your goals? If not, why not? A problem shared really is a problem halved so encourage your employees to be as honest and open as possible if you want to eliminate anything getting in the way of their productivity.

Once you’ve collectively shared any concerns and talked these through, you can focus on the day at hand without any niggles or worries hindering your productivity levels. Of course, there are always going to be distractions both environmentally and mentally, but diffusing your main stressors by discussing them together helps to leave all members of the team equipped to tackle their day.

What to consider as part of a daily review:

What did you do yesterday?

A chance for members of your team to reflect on the previous days’ accomplishments. Starting as you mean to go on by being positive and giving your team credit where credit’s due will leave everyone feeling confident in their roles and capabilities.

Did you complete all of your goals? Is there anything blocking you today?

Something we’re all guilty of is putting off the tasks that we’re dreading or are worried about completing. With a daily review, no one is left in this position. Each day, you can share your burdens, discuss these with your team and reach a viable solution together.

Whether you find that someone else is more equipped to carry out a task or you are simply pointed in the right direction by another member of the team, there is a clear increase in productivity from getting any worries off your chest. Gaining fresh viewpoints and taking onboard tips and advice from your team allows you to commence the day feeling motivated and uplifted.

What’s your mood today?

Acknowledging your mood at the start of each day allows everyone to easily notice if a member of the team is struggling and step in to help by either easing their workload or extending deadlines.

Whether it’s personal or work matters that are getting a member of the team down and potentially affecting their productivity, daily recognition of people’s moods and feelings allows this to be picked up on before it interferes with the quality of work produced.

‘We’ not ‘I’ mentality

Rather than teams functioning as separate units and going about their day-to-day routines, daily review’s help to re-enforce the ‘we’ not ‘I’ mentality.

 

Of course, it’s normal and healthy for team members to get absorbed into their own projects throughout the day, but checking in each morning helps to remind everyone that there are plenty of helping hands available should they need support. After all, collective campaigns implemented by a range of professionals with their own areas of expertise are far more creative, effective, and productive.

Improved communication

No two companies or organisations function the exact same. So naturally, you may have members of staff from a variety of backgrounds who are all accustomed to different ways of communicating in the workplace – this is where Cards come in.

 

They’re easy to engage with, quick to complete and leave everyone in a team clued up on each other’s current projects. The simple nature of the check-ins can help to improve communication and decrease the risk of anyone’s heavy workload going unnoticed and becoming unmanageable.

 

Whether you complete your daily review with a casual team meeting or call or the team gets straight on with their daily tasks, a brief outline of each person’s day helps managers and executives to align their goals and keep up to speed.

 

Short but effective Cards reduce the need for longer and more formal meetings. How? By keeping employees on the same page on a daily basis rather than catching up once a week or even once a month, no one is left with problems that escalate and affect their productivity long term.

Accountability

It’s important to place a certain level of trust in your employees and fellow team members when it comes to productivity. A certain degree of accountability for your actions can actually increase productivity though and ensure you maintain a disciplined work environment without making your employees feel uneasy.

 

You can customise your Teamado Cards to ask your team questions that are relevant and of value to make sure your productivity is enhanced to its full potential. By having everyone’s daily goals and tasks out there, whether they’re down in writing or communicated verbally on a call, you will feel motivated and dedicated to getting these ticked off.
