How to Engage Team Members from Different Branches

Engagement is a top challenge for roughly 87% of organizations, especially those with disconnected teams. To manage such teams better, companies can use collaborative tools like Evernote, Slack, Skype, and Hipchat, to promote real-time team conversations, file sharing, screen sharing, smart search and recording video chats. Getting to know team members on a personal level, offering perks, and adopting flexible scheduling can also help. In addition, using tools like Trello, Redmine, and Wunderlist can aid in planning, analyzing and evaluating team results. It's also vital to rely on activists or champions who drive, support and help their team members without being asked to do so.
