Today we’re going to tell you a little bit about how we tweaked the onboarding process. In short, we made it possible for you to invite to Hubgets as many team members as you need – all in a single, super-fast operation.
It’s July 17th, so we couldn’t miss celebrating #WorldEmojiDay! We’re such big fans of these little funny pictograms that we just had to make a short movie about them/us. Who says you can’t act like an emoji?
We made this little experiment to see if you can actually be loud and clear just by making faces. And yes, you can! 🙂
More and more companies need a toolbox to help them interact in real time with partners, clients and even remote employees.
However, running remote meetings in particular comes with its own challenges. Sometimes the participants are on different time zones. Everyone needs to be updated prior to the meeting regarding the topic of the conversation. Tasks have to be shared and everyone must have a clear understanding of the entire project. Not to mention the online meeting itself has to unfold without any technical problems.
We’re incredibly excited to introduce you to a completely new way of communication and collaboration with business partners and clients. While you’re enjoying the benefits of using Hubgets with your team, anyone outside your organization can get in touch with you via your Hubgets Page, easier than ever. Here’s a quick walk-through of our new feature, to help you get started.

Our CEO once recommended me Randy Pausch’s talk on Time Management and I was totally blown away by it. The part about methods of successful delegation is particularly interesting so I decided to summarize it in this article.

My coworkers and I rely on instant communication apps to give and receive feedback, keep ourselves up to date with the projects we’re working on, and talk to friends and family. As useful as IM apps are, they can be overwhelming sometimes. Over time, we learned a few tricks on how to avoid distractions when using IM apps so I thought we’d share them here, on our blog.

With so many distractions – notifications, tools, messages – most of us find it harder and harder to really concentrate on delivering our projects. It takes planning and effort to help us cope in such a noisy environment. While looking for methods to boost productivity, I stumbled upon a classic: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
