When you’re developing your company and the teams of individual departments start to grow, work organization becomes crucial. Development of your business depends on how you plan your and your employees’ activities, as well as how you’ll monitor their execution. To do this effectively, it’s best to help yourself with tools. What tools can be useful in a growing enterprise, and what aspects of work are they able to improve? Here are 8 tools that will help you order and organize your work at the company.  

Communication doesn’t have to be formal 

Communication is key in a growing company. It’s especially important when in your organization there are teams that work remotely, or when you employ new people. Well organized communication will allow to onboard new people and streamline the work of those who work remotely. This is why every developing organization should make sure to introduce a tool for unrestricted internal communication at the company. A good example of such an application is Slack. It’s an instant messenger which works well for quick communication, e.g., during the execution of projects and tasks. You don’t always want to send formal emails to ask one short question.If you need a quick answer, you can’t risk your message getting in a long line of emails in someone’s inbox. This is where Slack comes in.   

An internal instant messenger can help you integrate your employees, among other things by making conversations less formal.What’s more, it allows to create communication channels with selected groups, departments, or people. So, it’ll also work well for communication between various teams.Another advantage of this tool is that you can use it both in a browser and in the form of a desktop or mobile application.

Virtual meetings can be convenient 

Online meetings are another vital element of communication. They don’t merely allow to see colleagues who work away from the office. Such meetings also provide an opportunity to quickly agree on the details of a project, or to sum up the activities of a given team. This is why it’s worth getting a tool that will allow you to conduct effective online meetings. One of the most popular applications that support such meetings is Zoom. You can use it on your phone, tablet, and computer.It has features that facilitate organization of various kinds of meetings, such as training sessions, webinars, internal conversations, and external conversations such as those needed during recruitment.It’s a stable application that supports audio, video, and screen sharing in real time.

Notes from meetings don’t have to be boring 

How often do you regret that you don’t have the right note from some meeting, or that you did make a note but in a form unsuitable for the team and you have to rewrite it? RealtimeBoard (Miro) is an ideal solution for people who like to make notes in meetings. It’s an application that takes the form of a virtual board. You can fill it with notes, charts, and drawings – all the things that’ll streamline the gathering of ideas, brainstorming, and the managing of work. Of course, RealtimeBoard is an online application available from anywhere with Internet access.   

The program makes it possible to visualize ideas, plans, and tasks using built-in templates that are consistent with the Kanban methodology, in various formats, e.g., as a flowchart. If you want to stir your and the attendees’ imagination and, at the same time, create clear plans and notes, you should give Miro a try.
