Make Work More Fun with Emojis

Emoji has been the word of the year in 2015 and for good reasons: it’s everywhere! From social media posts to chats and advertising campaigns, these tiny ideograms and smileys have taken over the world 😀 Since images speak louder than words, they’ve turned into a fun form of digital communication. And we’re big fans ❤️‍

Sometimes emojis say it better

Think about it this way – scientists have proven that emojis come with great benefits for teamwork and collaboration. Writing takes away important non-verbal information, and this is how we can counter it. It’s not just about embellishment, these quirky characters can turn into stand alone sentences and speak volumes. When working with other people, not only they save space, but they also convey emotion. The messages are no longer dry, they have a personal touch, and express the creativity of the sender.


Language is dynamic and it’s greatly shaped by the people using it. With emojis, you can witness the development of a personal language and inside jokes, specific to teams. Being informal and natural will turn into a great business asset.

Sweet God of Interruptions at Work

How to Convert Information into Knowledge

Time is a bloody tyrant, Shakespeare said. No offense, Shakespeare, but in this century so is information. Think about it this way – when you’ve got too much information on your hands and scarce to zero means to organize it, you usually get swamped. When you’re lacking information, it’s hard to make a decision, let alone a knowledgeable one. So, either way, you’re at the mercy of information – it’s like The Taming of the Shrew all over again 😀
Let’s see how lack of information translates in the workplace and how teams can use Hubgets to overcome that.

No matter how you look at it, getting everyone in one place is time-consuming. First, you need to consider the logistics behind an urgent task/crisis meeting. Then, you can’t be oblivious to the time people need to disconnect from a task and connect to another. Adjusting to a new context and reaching a high level of implication requires an amount of time that urgent tasks never offer.

A Match Made in Heaven – Why Call Centers and UC Go Hand in Hand

Metaphorically speaking, Unified Communications (UC) solution vendors walk around carrying a long list of benefits for service providers who want to offer UC services for SMBs and other organizations (i.e. upgrade their business communication channels). The are many reasons and truth is this crusade against old technology is very justified. Any way you look at it, UC services, especially when hosted in the Cloud, knock the socks off any legacy phone network.

A call center is, in and of itself, a network of phones. Much of UC’s functionality actually originated in call centers. The only difference is that unifying these features enables Service Providers (SP) to take better advantage of resources with the end goal of increasing productivity and improving the customer service. So what better business to target with UC if not contact centers? And although every feature counts, it’s those that touch the customer directly that weigh the most
