Do you feel the need to be in touch with your coworkers while working?

I wonder what depth of information would best suit your needs. For example, would you like to know... - what they are working on - who has a meeting with whom - who is on-site or working from home - who is off today - how they are feeling - what they are listening - when their birthdays are - what they like to do We are currently building BeforeSunset v2.0 to sync and bond with your team without additional messages, join our waitlist to know when we are ready: https://www.usebeforesunset.com/

Everything has two sides. I work remotely (IT) and I have some margin of safety in order to avoid tight communication in a work chat. It would make it hard for me to concentrate. But I agree that meetings can be held every two days to understand at what stage each department is. I am used to the fact that I work quite freely and have the opportunity to go to website at any time (chats for dating, personal correspondence ). There are employers who build monitoring of the employee's workplace into their products for work communication. And this option would be extremely undesirable for me.

In our team, communication is very important but sometimes it does get overwhelming and even confusing. Looking forward to your launch :)

@sandradjajic totally, especially when working remotely

A BIG YES! I feel lack of communication bring a lot of lacks in your work as sitting together and speaking can help quick problem solving rather to email and get approvals.

@neha_khan78 Agreed, it also impacts our wellbeing. We are humans, not robots. We need this human touch and to be in contact with our coworkers.
Neha Khan
@thomas_boulesteix Exactly, Even psycologically it's not good to just live with machines

The key to engaging people isn't just about providing information, it's about making a personal connection with them. That's why these questions are pretty useless. Sure, people might answer them at first, but if they start to see it as just another way for their boss to distract them from their actual work, they're likely to push back and sabotage the whole thing.

Communication always helps! Especially in remote work scenario. It helps us understand everyone better instead of making assumptions. To solve a similar problem we launched Edworking today! Do check it out (https://www.producthunt.com/post...)
YES! I would say communication is the key to successful work! Lack of communication and connection might not be healthy when you have a goal to achieve with all the team members together.

Yes! Communication is key, as so many issues can be resolved within literally minutes of a proper talk

Interesting thought, Mostly I never think about my coworkers what they are doing, in what mood they are, and what they are listening to. I would like to know if they are free and open for any discussion on topics related to office or personal if they are interested to share. it's very hard to know what another person like or not until you spend enough time with coworkers. I might be interested to know what they are working on for today, if I can get a list will be helpful. @elifduran

I don't need to but I appreciate it, outside of work related topics I love just watercooler convos
