Perks Of Creating Multiple Workspaces
The virtual shared workspace is where and how people at any company can collaborate online. It exists in the software and programs you use to communicate and work daily. From office favorites like Slack to user-friendly graphic design software like Simplified, your brand has increasing number of ways to collaborate and work together. Shared workspace can:
Promote Company Culture
Many designers communicate with each other over social media platforms. But they rarely work together that way. While marketing teams use social media to promote your company to the rest of the world, you need a way to collaborate on creatives internally.
Improve Workflow
Lacking a single place to store documents and conversations is a roadblock to a streamlined workflow. Transferring company docs via email or chat is a bad idea. As it’s one of the primary ways information gets lost.
