Organizations have strived to work on team building activities so that people can build in real connections.
Rather than following the pyramid structure, companies nowadays prefer a tree structure where instead of departments, they work in teams. It is very important for employees to relate to each other’s ideas and perspectives and connect to them so as to achieve a task efficiently.
Now the question is if a company is productive on the front, is it really important for the people to be connected? The answer is Yes! If employees are connected with each other and with the company objectives, they tend to give in more efforts. Let’s say, a task is aspired to be completed in 6 days, if an employee feels the connection with his/her workplace, they may increase their productivity and provide their deliverables before time.
A good software like xTimesheet fosters the process. An employer can assess the progress of an employee on the basis of their timesheet. Its feature like Statistics can give a detailed analysis of the productivity of an employee. If there is the transparency of information between the company and the employee, they will feel connected ergo, working more effectively.
Companies can leverage thousands of communication tools for a team to work efficiently, but only when the human and social capital come together, a connection is formed. It is important to gauge the labor that an employee has endeavored to achieve a goal, but it is more important to evaluate what a team brings to the table with their acquired resources and knowledge.
