If you’re working remotely or in an alternate work arrangement, chances are your team is using some form of video calls and online collaboration tools like Slack. These 2D tools are not always the best choice for fostering communication and connection between team members.
Virtual spaces for collaboration are essential. The best virtual spaces mimic the physical space of an office, with meeting rooms, workstations, and common areas that enable teams to easily find each other. After that, using nudges and live chats while they move around the space, team members can engage in natural communication and serendipitous encounters similar to those that naturally happen in a real-world office environment.
Kumospace is an example of a virtual workspace which helps to reduce meetings, by giving people the feeling of “working alongside address someone else”. It also provides a range of virtual spaces for collaboration, from sprint planning and 1:1 catch-ups, to project presentations and sales demos.
Switchboard is a virtual collaboration tool which takes the feeling of working in an office to a different level. With its collaborative virtual rooms and canvases, it enables teams to get productive quickly by working on documents and web-based applications. And when the session is over it saves the work of everyone to allow them to pick up where they left off the next time.
Other virtual spaces like Teemyco and Gather help foster collaboration by making it easier for coworkers to see what they are doing in the virtual office. That way, it’s easy to track who is planning the next big project, presenting a sales demo or simply taking a virtual coffee break.
