LaMetric Blog

Office life is full of conversations — talks about projects, exchange of useful info or just chit chat when you want to chill out a bit and take a break. However, it’s not always convenient to follow all the messages from your laptop or smartphone screen — it’s easy to miss a significant information, unfollow updates when you’re not at your desk or simply lose motivation when you don’t share pleasant news with others.

Office workers are not the keyboard zombies, and that is why LaMetric decided to help them get info in a natural and more convenient way. So meet the Slack integration for you LaMetric Time — all messages now come to a single and highly visible dashboard, for the entire team, to make it together and transmit that spirit of work toward common achievements.

Motivate a team with successful business results

Whatever your business is aimed to provide, the end goal is to satisfy the needs of your clients and meet their expectations. 

The results of good work and customer care are more app downloads, website traffic, increase of sales, positive feedbacks and simply word of mouth spread widely.

People work much more efficiently when their efforts are recognized, and when pleasant moments are shared, team becomes much more united. Do you want to increase productivity? Share all updates regarding your business to a display on a shelf. Everyone will see it, and instead of just taking a look at them on Slack individually, people will appreciate them together and feel more value and happiness from their common work.

Found industry related information? Share it to all of your workmates

Things which happen in your area sometimes can impact your company more than internal events. Therefore, as a rule of thumb, it’s important to share with your workmates when you found something related to your industry. Don’t just spam it into Slack chat — it can be lost between other messages. When your news is really valuable, ping it to LaMetric Time. You will see what better understanding of the industry your team will have.

Notify your marketing team when someone refers to your brand

What is central for your marketing team? References, brand mentions, stats. You may get notifications regarding recent tweets or Google Analytics on your LaMetric Time. However,  your co-workers may notice something you skipped. Did your customer share a special thank you? Have you been ranked highly on Amazon? Received new media coverage? Never miss sharing it with the marketing team and always react quickly.

Don’t forget about a meeting when you’re chilling out or having your lunch

In the modern world, fewer companies are concentrated on a strict daily agenda with breaks at exact hours. Mostly workers have concrete scope of tasks to finish during the day, and they can take a break when they need it — it’s more efficient. However, when someone is having lunch or relaxing outside a working room, they might lose the track of time.

There is no chance to do so with LaMetric Time, which shares reminders in every room you put it in, reminding every worker. When you are already waiting in the meeting room and see that not all your team members have come, just drop them a line on the Slack chat — they will see it, even if right now they’re making their coffee.

Make them smile when the atmosphere is going to be too intent

Sometimes you’re working so hard that it becomes tense. The only sound breaking the silence and concentration is fingers running across the keyboard. However, hard work is impossible without some fun moments — people are workaholics when they don’t have any fun chats. Therefore, make them smile and defuse a tense situation with the freshest joke. You will feel how much better you get along when not only working together, but also sharing smiles.

Celebrate points of favorite sports team when staying longer at work

Your favorite team is playing tonight, but you are still at your workplace finishing that report? If you keep an eye on news and saw that your favorite team has just shot a free throw, you can take a moment to share it will other late-working guys from your team. Share that spirit of unity when you support you team, even if you’re working late.

Keep an eye on who celebrates their birthday today

It’s bad, we know, but we still do not remember the birthdays of all the people working with us. We don’t even remember the birthdays of our relatives always! In order not let the forgetfulness settle down in your office, remind the team about special days of their co-worker through Slack notifications at LaMetric Time. You even may pass lovely greeting. Both the person and you (remembering everything) will be so glad!

When common moments are shared, you feel the unity of your team more. You do not have to celebrate successes and pleasant news alone, turning your eyes to your screen. When a team gets updates in natural way, on a clock display, at the same time and all together, it motivates them much more and helps share the emotions. And what can make the team more productive than those moments of unity? Share what is essential for your everyday work to Slack chat — and get it on a LaMetric Time display!
