Collaboration is a main facet of the modern workplace, as more departments need cross-functionality to help improve goals and reach new business resolutions for their organizations.
This shift from older days when employees mostly worked autonomously, with little to no interaction with their co-workers, has had varying effects on our overall work culture, as businesses continue to scramble for “optimum productivity.”
Some of the major benefits of having a more collaborative workplace include: an outlet to share and exchange new ideas, a chance to learn from your colleagues and be exposed to various subject areas, and increased opportunity to generate and solicit real-time feedback about the key issues that impact your day to day.
However, working in teams of people, especially those that are integrated with colleagues across varying backgrounds, skill sets and subject expertise, requires more sophistication - especially when it comes to making major decisions.
Just last year, over 65% of employees said they would prefer receiving more feedback at work, as opposed to less. Despite this, there can still be barriers to actually implementing strategies for better feedback standards and creating a culture that encourages it from the top down.
Tips for improving team communication are: emphasizing the importance of transparency, embracing different styles and tools that work for your individual contributors, and building processes to standardize communication and feedback across different working groups.
Company-wide or committee deliberations are often done via back and forth email chains, laborious all-hands meetings, or basic surveys that do not have the capabilities for feedback sharing.
eBallot, however, is an enterprise online/in-person voting software that lets users create ballots specific to the decisions they need to make in real-time. For example, our nomination ballots are perfect for appointing new individuals into key positions, selecting a venue for a holiday party or corporate retreat, or electing committee members.
For moments when you need to make more important internal decisions that may take more than one round of voting, such as switching insurance providers or moving your office to a new location, our in-house election consultants can actually work with your company’s HR, IT or employee engagement teams to help the process run more smoothly.
