Despite the convenience of remote working and the flexibility it offered to many, mental health struggles were at an all-time high with roughly one in five Americans admitting to high levels of mental distress. To kick off Stormboard’s Mental Health March - this article will explain how you can protect the mental health of your employees in a remote working world.

Being aware of the current workplace trends, especially in today's world, is critical to the growth of a business. Ignoring or dismissing emerging trends can set your business back, or provide the competition an opportunity to jump ahead.

When it comes to achieving an optimal work-life balance, technology can both help and hinder your efforts. Figuring out how we can utilize technology to ensure the impact on our work-life balance is a positive one is an ongoing battle for most people in the modern workforce. Taking charge and evaluating the role technology plays in your life is an important step toward finding the right balance.

People all over the world are now moving towards an entirely digital workflow. Using a digital workspace is great for reducing your impact on the environment and bringing hybrid teams together in a shared space. But an even better outcome of making your meetings digital is that you actually improve productivity and collaboration!

There’s no doubt that 2020 presented a significant workplace shift. With COVID-19 sweeping the globe, most workplaces turned to remote work, making working from home the new normal. This kept employees safe while still allowing business to continue as usual.

Brainstorming has often been ignored when mapping out a workflow, or workflow diagram, and this is detrimental to the sequence of tasks and results many businesses and teams strive for. It’s an aspect that is often overlooked — and in most cases — isn’t fully realized or considered a step in a team meeting.

How do you maximize your chances of creating a lasting business? By maximizing engagement — attract customers, draw them into your product, and work toward changing them from passive users into an active part of your company’s development.

Whether you are reconnecting with members of your remote team, staying connected, introducing your remote or hybrid teams to each other, or starting and continuing conversations, Stormboard has an Icebreaker Template for you!

Do you find yourself zoning out during your video calls, missing important details, and feeling extra tired after a long day of virtual meetings? You aren’t alone.

It’s no secret that successful business models rely on effective communication between employees. Team collaboration results in a steady pace of productivity, and if done correctly, ensures that all members of a team stay on the same page. The ideal result is a brainstorming environment that maintains employee engagement and ensures that all employees are performing at their fullest potential.

Corporate lingo tends to have a knack for working its way out of the boardroom and into our daily lives. This all-too-familiar pattern can make it can seem like every second article posted on LinkedIn is about the new corporate trend or buzzword going around the office that you “need to know about NOW.”

Sometimes that’s all it is — a new word for an old concept, like dressing collaboration up as ‘synergy’ or referring to your team’s workload as ‘bandwidth.’

You may have heard of the “stand-up meeting’ and thought it was just another flashy example of corporate lingo trying to pump up the same old tired meeting.

A good Project Status Report is clear, concise, and will quickly update your team on the health and progress of your project.

Project management is a challenge — there are countless moving parts, and it is easy to get off track if you don’t have the goals and parameters of your project clearly defined.

Developed by Jim Kalbach, a UX strategist, in 2012, the Project Canvas was created to give everyone working on a project a view of not only the goals and individual elements of the project, but the relationships between them at-a-glance, so that the entire team can stay aligned in their work.

Is there anything worse than sitting through an endless meeting that could have been an email? For most employees, one of the most dreaded parts of their job is getting stuck in endless unproductive meetings.

That’s not to say that traditional in-person meetings can’t be valuable and are needed from time to time, because they are. However, research shows that employees spend a whopping 31 hours in unproductive meetings each month.

The last year forced companies to take a hard look at their internal processes, and shift everything from management styles to business practices to marketing strategies.

One trend that seems to have emerged from this shift is an increase in collaborative leadership. By definition, collaborative leadership is a managerial strategy that brings a group of leaders together to share information, work simultaneously, and take responsibility for the team as a whole.
