The invention of the internet, and the multitude of tools to go along with it, constantly brings fresh opportunities for more effective work processes and better communication systems. The choices for communication and online learning tools is unprecedented today, and companies have no excuse for lagging behind.

Moreover, with cloud technologies becoming commonplace for modern companies, flexibility, cost efficiency, and increased productivity are just some of the advantages being missed by organizations who refuse to change with the times.

The Need to Communicate, Collaborate, and Learn

Top businesses understand open and flexible communication with their teams, on a consistent basis and in ways that resonate with them, is the key to effective operations. This allows leaders to stay in sync with changes to the work environment and quickly adapt their processes to communicate relevant information, through the most effective channels, in a timely manner.

According to Entrepreneur, "Effective communication strengthens the connections between a company and all of its stakeholders and benefits businesses in numerous ways: Stronger decision making and faster problem solving; earlier warning of potential problems; increased productivity and steadier workflow; stronger business relationships; clearer and more persuasive marketing messages; enhanced professional images for both employers and companies; lower employee turnover and higher employee satisfaction; and better financial results and higher return for investors."

Another important key to success is an intuitive learning management system. Besides staying in front of emerging trends and encouraging staff to improve as individuals, a good LMS helps drive innovation and provides new topics around which teams can come together and discuss.

Traditionally, the various systems required to ensure companies stay ahead in their fields while keeping departments aligned have been separate silos. This makes sustaining peak performance difficult with issues such as change management, compatibility, trying to use old data in new systems, etc.

Add a worldwide pandemic to all of this and organizations have no choice but to examine the need to let go of outdated and ineffective communication methods and take advantage of cutting edge applications designed for business continuity. eUnite has realized the importance of focusing on a strong key ring in order to keep all your keys together, secure, and easy to access.

Additionally, the feed feature of the platform serves as your team's digital billboard which allows you to share information with anyone in your organization and set the sharing scope to include everyone, certain roles or workspaces, or selected individuals.

• Online Survey: With the Survey designer, you can easily create unlimited surveys from anywhere to always keep a pulse on team perspectives and morale.
