Collaboration hubs and workplace hubs are sometimes used interchangeably. A collaboration hub allows people to share an online space throughout the day – promoting interaction, community, and teamwork.

At some organizations, users can use these online spaces to share software in real-time alongside traditional communication channels, those are workplace hubs.

Workplace hubs eliminate the need for team members to go hunting for software or coordinate how to share experiences.

Advantages of workplace hubs

Workplace hubs offer many benefits for hybrid teams at any size. Some of those benefits include:

Easy sharing and mentoring: Bringing your team together with all the tools they use naturally creates the flexibility they need. When they want to get a handle on what everyone's up to, they can simply look at the room and see what everyone is sharing. With better visibility, mentors can jump in and out of experience to lend a hand when it's needed too.

Optimize planning and meetings: With the flexibility that comes with workplace hubs, there's no need for organizations to spend overtime planning meetings for team building and cross-training activities. Workplace hubs allow businesses to minimize required meetings because people are already connected all day.

Lower SaaS Licensing Costs: Workplace hubs give people the ability to easily share software with multiple cursors – that means you don't need to purchase as many expensive subscriptions for people who only need to view things. And with new collaboration capabilities when your team does connect they'll feel confident that they can share whatever they need to.

User-friendly online connection

Application sharing and online collaboration is typically managed with dedicated software that allows employees to use tools together. Depending on their needs, teams can use collaboration software to do the following:

• Brainstorm new architectures and process workflows in shared whiteboards

• Provide a way for teams to review documents and designs together.

• Connect people with open audio and video channels.

• Share complicated processes and tools so the team can learn as you work.

• Run applications together with multiple cursors

• Share in research efforts with users running simultaneous – side by side

• Troubleshoot software issues people are running into

Collaboration platforms help teams connect effortlessly and work together. Without tools that allow for real-time interaction, employees may run into issues communicating or fall behind on project goals because of all the back and forth slowdowns.

The easier it is for teams to use and find these tools, the easier it will be to have a more cohesive team experience from anywhere. Leadership teams should choose a workplace hub that:

• Brings an ability for employees to work side-by-side online

• Enables any applications to be easily shared and co-controlled

• Makes it easy to find all the applications and documents they need

Transitioning from in-office work to a remote or hybrid work schedule can be a shock to your organization, so collaboration tools should be spread all over the place. The best workplace hubs save your teams time by bring them together along with their tools in secure environments.
