The world of remote work is just beginning to bloom into new possibilities of how we work. In a matter of 15 years, it’s gone from outsourcing to marginalized gig economy workers, and is now thriving into one of the largest and most important ways of working.
With the pivots in the landscape, every business owner and individual looking for remote work has a new requirement – finding the best platforms and tech stack to make sure they add up to what they need to do to work.
The Current Use of Platforms
Most platforms for remote work are designated specifically as that – project management tools to keep track of what the team is doing.
At the most complex level, this is formulated with task management and reporting on the task management.
The advantage of these platforms comes with the ability to maintain team camaraderie and to identify daily movement with tasks.
While there are some options with Wikis, chat, and comments, everything focuses on the team to operational management in these systems, identifying as a specific way to connect to the team and to make sure the work is happening at the right time.
But what happens with the rest of the business?
Management that isn’t working in the operational department have no insight or fluidity into what is happening with their business. Hiring processes, financial management, business growth, and other associations with the business are compartmentalized into different platforms, departments, and level of functionality.
Thinking About the New Business
Project management at the current level worked with hybrid work, outsourcing, and with extra support that was needed for business functionality. But with today’s marketplace and with the surge and demand in remote work, business leaders require a next level in the marketplace.
More than the operational department needs to understand how work is working. Every individual on the executive level (even if they aren’t in the daily execution), needs to understand how this looks at the high level.
Pushing information to the top with finances, meetings, progress, and management is now an adaptable and live system. Solving these specific problems it allows the executive team to cut out other platforms and other missing pieces of information.
No longer is there a need to have a Slack channel, a financial platform, an HR platform, executive meetings to go through progress bars, or special assistants to maintain extra platforms like calendars.
There is a new business model with remote work that requires a different set up and support for it to work effectively.
The Everyone Workspace
Adding in functionality that is outside of project management invites everyone in to use the system in a way that is effective and cohesive to specific needs.
The invitation of the UnaWork is to give everyone a space to do what they need to for work to be more efficient. Project management, finances, HR management, hiring processes, networking, meetings, conversations, and fluid work systems are layered in to help each individual find their best opportunities and information in one location instead of several.
Having everything in one location stops friction with work and supports a cohesive, streamlined workspace. It offers a new and exciting way of working where information is shared instead of being siloed.
The future of remote work is just opening up. UnaWork is one of the ways that allows each of us to create a stronger relationship with work while focusing on productivity instead of platforms.
