Improving team efficiency lets your employees take on additional projects. More projects mean additional skill development, revenue, and business growth.
Implementing productivity tools helps improve team efficiency. The software and applications can modify, improve, and measure individual and team progress. They also can support project management, communication, collaboration, and time tracking to keep projects on track.
Your team’s productivity tools should automate repetitive tasks, increase organization, and support time management. These activities help improve workflows and overcome obstacles to complete projects.
The following are must-have tools for improving team efficiency.
Time-Tracking Software
Time-tracking software such as QuickBooks Time and Clockify monitor each team member’s time usage. Understanding how long tasks take to complete supports efficient workload planning. Managers can set realistic deadlines, uncover bottlenecks, and optimize workflows.
Productivity Tracking Software
Productivity tracking software such as ActivTrak and DeskTime shows how and when team members work. The software quantifies productivity, including when teams are busiest, which members are most productive, and which might require additional resources to accomplish tasks. The data provides insight into how new technology or policies impact productivity.
Project Management Software
Project management software such as Asana and Monday.com offers task tracking, deadline management, and collaboration capabilities. These features help your team stay organized, communicate, and monitor real-time progress.
Task Management Applications
Task management applications such as Todoist and Habitca let team members break down complex projects into manageable steps and provide individualized work views. Team members can structure their to-do lists; prioritize, assign, and track tasks; and set reminders to maintain focus and accountability.
File-Sharing Tools
File-sharing tools such as Google Docs and Microsoft Teams offer a centralized, real-time platform to share, edit, and collaborate on documents and files. Maintaining information in one place simplifies workflows and provides real-time information.
Many file-sharing tools integrate with project management and communication tools to strengthen collaboration. Version control, permissions, access management, and document retrieval help efficiently locate and work on documents and minimize errors.
Communication Platforms
Communication platforms such as Slack and Microsoft Teams offer instant messaging for information sharing and decision-making. Team members can connect through video calls, file sharing, and other features.
Videoconferencing Tools
Videoconferencing tools such as Zoom and Google Meet let teams conduct virtual meetings, share screens, and collaborate. The meetings can be recorded and sent to maintain team communication, collaboration, and cohesion.
