At VirtualSpace, our main goal is to help teams stay focused and work together better. We want to make it easier for teams to work without switching across different tools and apps.

We all know that using lots of different tools can slow us down. A study in 2022 shows that each person had to switch around 350 times between 22 different apps and websites. On an average day, this meant that one employee had to keep changing between apps more than 3,600 times. That's a whole lot of switching!

But there's good news – we have a solution to this! This week, we're excited to introduce some new upgrades to VirtualSpace. These upgrades will help teams switch between tasks less often and get more done.

We're also making VirtualSpace work even better with our Chat Features. This means teams can work smoothly and not waste time switching between them.

Benefits of Chat Features 

Effective communication can boost your teamwork and productivity. Chat features, when thoughtfully designed and integrated, bring various advantages that empower workers and drive efficiency. Here's how:

  • Real-Time Collaboration: Chat features facilitate instant communication, enabling workers to exchange ideas, updates, and information in real time. This immediacy eliminates the need to wait for responses, leading to faster decision-making and seamless collaboration.
  • Global Connectivity: In a globalised workforce, chat features break down geographical barriers. You can connect, communicate, and collaborate with colleagues, clients, and partners from around the world, fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment.
  • Reduced Email Overload: Long gone are the days of drowning in a sea of emails. Chat features provide a more concise and focused communication channel, helping you sift through information more efficiently and locate essential details without sifting through lengthy email threads.
  • Enhanced Productivity: Quick exchanges and updates through chat allow you to stay informed without disrupting your workflow. This translates to reduced context switching and increased focus on tasks, ultimately boosting productivity.
  • Clear Documentation: Chat platforms serve as a record of conversations, ensuring that important discussions, decisions, and project updates are documented and easily accessible. This helps in accountability, knowledge sharing, and historical reference.
  • Casual Communication: Beyond formal discussions, chat features enable you to engage in more casual and informal conversations. This promotes team bonding and strengthens relationships even in remote or virtual environments.
  • Swift Issue Resolution: In case of challenges or roadblocks, you can seek help or guidance through chat, receiving prompt assistance and solutions. This accelerates issue resolution and keeps projects moving forward smoothly.
  • Flexibility and Accessibility: Chat features are often accessible across devices, you can stay connected whether you’re at your desks, on the go, or working remotely. This flexibility ensures that communication remains uninterrupted, enhancing overall team coordination.
  • Notification Control: Customisable notification features, allow you to manage alerts based on your preferences. This prevents unnecessary interruptions and supports a more focused work environment.
