An innovative new software platform built for the new world of work was launched this week at BuzzHubs.com. BuzzHubs came about when Martin Delany, Gary Joynes and Connor Finan got together in 2020 to find a way to offer businesses a long term solution to offer remote working to their employees . They had personally benefited from the flexibility of working from home but had also seen first hand the challenges many businesses faced around maintaining company culture and driving productivity with a dispersed workforce. The software they created integrates with a businesses existing systems to allow an immersive work from anywhere experience. Managers can see what their team are working on and achieving in real time while workplace wins are instantly celebrated in the social media style feed.While platforms such as Teams have seen record growth over the last couple of years, they were built for big office based businesses and merely provide a fairly crude indicator of availability with little to no link to performance. &nbsp;BuzzHubs doesn't directly compete with Teams, rather providing a highly enhanced service, showing in a visually appealing way people's actual availability, not just when they are offline or online. &nbsp;If your boss is in a meeting you will be able to see how long for and when their expected to return. &nbsp; Or if your co-worker has taken some time out you can let their eager client know when they will be available, and you have all this information instantly with no need for searching directories. &nbsp;The unique visibility of performance and activity means the threat of micro management when managers can't see their staff is reduced. &nbsp;We've seen managers chase staff for updates because they've not seen progress on the CRM, not knowing their star worker is finishing off some post sale admin. &nbsp;The chasing for information drives good people away and BuzzHubs' visibility means even an insecure manager can see his team are making progress and to hang back and let them do their job.BuzzHubs then goes further by integrating with your CRM to show in real time individual and team progress to give an instant feel for performance. &nbsp;The artificial intelligence engine works 24/7 to provide recognition when goals are achieved, &nbsp;personal bests delivered and productivity is increasing. &nbsp;Colleagues can then like and comment to create a positive culture built on performance over presence where they are inspired to continually improve. &nbsp;Those close to milestones can receive friendly updates letting them know they are close to achieving a big win. &nbsp;Then they can enjoy the adulation as their achievement makes the popular and fun breaking news headlines. &nbsp;The AI engine constantly looks for reasons to praise people, making the recognition instant, specific and fair. &nbsp;Accusations of favouritism or good people getting ignored are harder to substantiate when the praise is based on data and not on perception.Being able to see the whole business together even when everyone could be in 100 different locations means whether you work from home, the office or the coffee shop, you are all on the same page. &nbsp;Blair Mitchell, Head of Compliance at Bon Accord Life has long been a home worker while the rest of the business used to be office based. &nbsp; Blair didn't feel he needed any further software when his team started to work remotely, but using BuzzHubs he soon found people contacting him more and he knew who more people were and what they looked like, giving him and them a much improved connection to the business and it's people.&nbsp;Whereas before BuzzHubs Blair was the big bearded Head of Compliance who most people simply avoided contacting, seeing his fun avatar within his compliance hub meant when the usual compliance contact was unavailable, people now reached out to Blair. &nbsp;This softer approach brought down barriers to senior managers and improved staff engagement and a sense of belonging. &nbsp;Summing up the introduction of BuzzHubs Blair said, “I worked from home before covid and to be honest I didn’t think I needed any more tools than google, zoom and whatsapp. I have to say though, since I started using BuzzHubs I’ve never felt such a big part of the business. I like the way I can post announcements and then see people like and comment on it. I can also now see everyone in the company and see what they are achieving whereas before I was pretty isolated from everyone.”BuzzHubs is custom made for each business, the focus is on working with each business to deliver a real time platform that allows them to bring the future of work here today. &nbsp;Priced at £10-£15 per user it is incredibly good value and for businesses with sales and customers service teams it's likely to bring in a substantial&nbsp;return on investment almost immediately. &nbsp; With many businesses reporting difficulties recruiting and retaining their best staff, BuzzHubs may just be the solution for modern businesses looking to thrive in the post pandemic world.<blockquote>After 2 years in development, we're really excited to have finally launched BuzzHubs. Working from home and flexible working is no longer seen as an employee perk, more a pre-requisite for an interview. BuzzHubs allows business owners and their teams to be able to step into the business from anywhere, getting an instant feel for performance, collaborate with each other and celebrate workplace wins. The future of work has landed.</blockquote>
