4 new apps to ensure better employee productivity at the office

It goes without saying that an organisation's success essentially depends on how well employees perform their tasks. Happy employees can deliver better productivity at work and that is exactly what businesses need to grow. But, what are the reasons behind employees underperforming in the first place? There might be some valid reasons that will carry clues of fixing the issues instead of hiring replacements. For instance, you might notice the biometric report of an employee arriving late to work almost every other day. If you are willing to find a solution, you might just discover that it is due to commuting during the peak traffic period every day for 2 hours.

Since we belong to this age of AI, Machine learning, and Internet of Things, modern age challenges like lack of employee productivity and improving their efficiency can be sorted by leveraging these new-age apps:

1. Routematic: Routematic, one stop automated solution for employee commute offers technology-based employee Transportation app. It provides predictive fleet services for the corporate houses, ensuring the best combination of employee pickups with the least time-consuming route. This saves the commuter hassles of driving or coordinating their ride, in the most efficient way, thereby contributing to their productivity at work. Routematic is the only technology enabled fleet operator in the market. With several innovations such as 1-click cab routing algorithm, hardware independent solutions, automated vehicle allocation and dispatch and female employee safe drop confirmation, Routematic has established itself as the innovation leader in the market.

2. Slack: The new-age workplace is extremely complicated. A research conducted jointly by market-leading collaboration company Slack, and market research firm, GlobalWebIndex found that in today's rapidly evolving business space, employees need alignment to make the most of their workdays. As today's employees struggle with more complicated work processes, they need alignment to stay engaged and productive in their offices. After all, they have more creative and complex tasks to focus on instead of wasting their crucial time on repetitive and monotonous tasks. Slack emphasizes workplace messaging by offering more integrations than just about any other messaging platform. The app is distributed into threads that are detailed to a singular topic, allowing employees to start an ongoing conversation while staying on-task. It features services like sharing files, tagging collaborators, creating checklists and more, within a specific channel. The app services can be customised and integrated virtually with any other app or platform one might be using.

3. Bumble Bizz: Networking is not just about sitting in a bar with a large group of people making awkward communications to make new friends. In today's competitive world, networking is probably the key reason many people have their choice of jobs. And who would mind developing productive relationships for the purpose of employment or business? Bumble Bizz, a segment of the popular swipe-based dating app Bumble helps the users to connect with someone who may help them advance their career. It lets the users create their professional profile on the basis of information like their preferred industry, current job profile, education background and more. The app then uses the information combined with geographical data to match users whose professional lives get benefitted from being connected.

4.
