Using Teamado as an effective workflow tool
No matter the size of your business, if you don’t have a strategy in place for managing workflows across and among teams, you won’t be giving yourself the best chance at success. It’s essential to set each team and employee a set of goals to follow over time that involves collaboration, communication and a challenge.
Teamado is an effective workflow management tool, allowing employees to share their current and ongoing projects with the rest of the team on a regular basis. Management can easily understand who is fulfilling their role effectively and may need support or a lighter workload to reach their individual goals.
Motivation
Each and every one of a business’ employees will have their own set of skills, interests and visions for how they want to progress. Because of this, workflow management can be a tricky thing to get right.
Daily, weekly or monthly review’s allow you to see what everyone’s working on, how they’re coping and how they feel about the work they do using emoji’s, so you can easily identify anyone that is feeling unmotivated or unhappy with their current projects.
Teamado allows you to learn from the process by gaining an understanding of who is enjoying or feeling fulfilled by their work and who perhaps isn’t. An employee with a range of tasks to work through that play to their unique strengths will be far more motivated and productive overall – an insight that daily review’s can provide.
Teamado Card’s benefits management by allowing you to see which tasks specific employees or teams react well to and complete in a productive manner, but it benefits members of the team too. Each day, employees are offered a safe space to easily show their superiors when they may be feeling uninspired or bogged down.
Wellbeing
Effective workflow management isn’t just about a company producing excellent results, it’s about making sure that employees feel valued and understood. One way to cause your employees’ wellbeing to deteriorate and potentially even lose members of staff is by failing to manage their workflows such as assigning repetitive, unchallenging or uncreative projects.
With Teamado Card’s, you can straight away notice if someone is finding a current project dull, unmotivating or too challenging and make sure you adapt workflows accordingly so everyone has a chance to develop their skills.
You can use Teamado to take risks, put faith in your team(s) and allow them to take on a variety of projects. Use the customisable question types including text, checkboxes, numeric ranges and even emoji’s to assess moods and feelings about the work your team are doing. This way, if you notice anyone feeling down or stressed you can get in touch with them directly on a Card either through comments, email or via the phone to check-in.
Teamwork
Workflow management, in a nutshell, involves effective teamwork. It’s comprised of each member of a team doing their bit so the cogs keep turning and an impressive end result can be reached. For those in charge of making sure projects run smoothly and workloads don’t become too heavy though, the management process can be overwhelming.
Teamado is there to help managers and supervisors keep everyone in sync. Teamado Card’s are completely customisable so your brand can use the platform in a way that suits their operations best, whether you need a weekly ream review, project status updates, team surveys and/or performance reviews. Having a dedicated place for each member of the team to voice their triumphs or concerns allows others to step in and offer recognition or a helping hand.
Productivity levels
Bored or impassive employees are simply not as productive day-to-day. You should aim to have a team comprised of passionate, dedicated and inspiring people but the only way to do this is by managing people correctly.
Don’t dull anyone’s shine or put out their creative spark by mistakenly putting too much on their plate or asking them to do tasks that aren’t under their remit. Teamado Card’s allow you to increase the productivity of your team long term by allowing you to check-in on everyone’s feelings and accomplishments. Factoring a daily review card into your schedules will keep everyone feeling motivated and, in turn, ready to get things done.
Accountability
With many companies now allowing remote working, it’s important to have a way to measure when and how quickly your team are completing projects.
With a daily review, you can check in on employee performance levels without making your team feel unsettled. Having everyone jot down a summary of their daily to-do list means you can hold others and yourself accountable for what you need to get done that day. Of course, there are many blockers that can get in the way, whether its a work or personal matter, but Teamado Card’s allow you to check-in on those who are blocked and offer to help.
