And why that is not a bad thing
Conversations are held In each organization. There are discussions, knowledge is shared and cooperation is being done. In the ideal organization everyone has the knowledge to perform his or her function as best as possible. With the result of course, happy and enthusiastic colleagues who are delighted to work to achieve the business goals.
To make this possible, you will receive a computer and a mobile as an employee. You also get access to a mailbox. And that often starts with the misery. Because:
- Your mailbox is automatically a ' to do box ' for others. You will receive messages that are actually tasks to perform.
- Your mailbox is also your memory and archive. "Oh That's important, I must keep it." Not be able to find it afterwards.
- Your mailbox is never empty. Army than when you started he never again.
- Your mailbox and you: You cannot do without, but also not with each other.
Apparent? The messages in your mailbox distract, provide an information overload and make us less involved with colleagues or projects. We receive a question by e-mail, answers to it and that is the case. That this answer through the other's mailbox for new tasks makes us forget for convenience. In addition, e-mail is the number one attention outhaul. And that distracts: not only during working hours, but certainly also outside.
In The following movie you see what e-mail triggers within an organization:
When you work together like in the video this way, you waste time and knowledge of yourself and your colleagues. Fortunately, that is different. You can earn this back by working transparently and jointly on projects.
My empty mailbox
Last month I was at Engage Dialog started. I started with a login for the Microsoft Office environment and an account for Jive. Since then, my mailbox has been free of internal e-mails. Thanks to Jive Intranet Solution I only use my mailbox for communication with prospects and customers.
All other information I find on Jive. This is the intranet platform that Dialog group uses for all its employees. Our intranet is the starting point when you want to know something. You search for your question and get the best answer. If your question has not been asked before, you should ask a colleague to get a response.
The intranet is the place where we prepare appointments and events, conduct discussions, develop customer questions and quotations, collaborate on documents (in Microsoft Office and SharePoint). In short: Our Intranet is the collective brain of our company. If it is not available on the intranet, it does not exist. Or there hasn't been anyone yet with that question:-).
The advantage of our way of working
I'm not spending time figuring out who has the right answer to my question. My workday doesn't start answering mails anymore to start working. I'm starting faster and take information to me when it's relevant to me.
The main advantage is that we work together and we all have relevant information. Every day we can work with pleasure for and with our customers.
