It’s no secret that the world of work is evolving.
For a while now, companies have been experimenting with ideas like remote work and globalisation. When the COVID-19 virus hit in 2020, the journey to a new digital workforce accelerated.
The key to making the most of this new remote workforce is ensuring everyone can communicate clearly and effectively in a virtual setting. The Kona bot for Slack by Sike Insights can help with this.
Kona is a Slackbot infused with artificial intelligence. The tool helps companies to understand the working styles and communication preferences of team members. As people work together, Kona checks out how they communicate, and providers business leaders with insights on how to manage future interactions.
Building Relationships with a Virtual Team
Up until now, developing stronger relationships with a remote workforce hasn’t been easy. It’s not always simple to know what employees are thinking or doing on the other end of a screen. However, the Kona Slackbot offers a way for leaders to know what’s happening with their employees.
When you type /Kona into Slack, you can see all the options available to you. Type in a coworker’s name, and you’ll see insights on how that person prefers to communicate. Employees can answer questions posed by Kona to help the bot understand more about them and how they work.
Kona is basically a way for team leaders to make their employees feel more understood and connected, no matter where they are. If you’ve ever worried about the isolation of remote work before, this could be the tool for you.
