No business can operate effectively without a strong and flexible communication infrastructure. But on top of having the right technology in place, businesses need to reflect on <\/span>how<\/span><\/i> they use those tools to ensure that their internal communication habits actually improve productivity instead of obstructing it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, exchanging ideas and sharing information is all integral to working as a team. But with the average knowledge worker spending as much as 80% of their workday communicating and collaborating with colleagues, you can\u2019t help but wonder whether more time should be spent on good old-fashioned, solo \u201cwork.\u201d1<\/sup><\/p>\n

In this post, we\u2019ll look at when to use asynchronous communication\u2014and when it’s actually not the best way to work. We’ll also have plenty of examples to show you how to use the right tools and apps to communicate asynchronously. (You don’t need a ton of different ones\u2014you actually only need one! And yep, we built it.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s what we\u2019ll cover. Feel free to skip ahead:<\/span><\/p>\n
