Legal Tech: Stop, Collaborate and Listen -- Collaboration Tools Are a Brand New Invention

By Michele C.S. Lange

Workplaces are looking a little different these days. From where work is done to how ideas are discussed and who is making the decisions, a majority of employees are demanding change.

Consider these statistics:

  • 43% of employed Americans spend at least some time working remotely, according to a 2017 Gallup poll.
  • In 2016, millennials became the largest generation in the workforce, according to the Pew Research Center.
  • Almost 4-in-10 employees don't believe the people in their organization collaborate enough, according to Queens University of Charlotte.

Look around your office. Many colleagues are millennials, increasingly tech-savvy and perhaps working globally or based remotely. Maybe some of these characteristics fit you? Now, pair these trends with an “on-demand” communication culture, driven by the social media and mobile revolution. You and your colleagues don't wait days for an email response, but rather minutes for a text response. When was the last time you left or listened to a voicemail message? It's faster and easier to message someone in real time. You know that time is your most valuable resource. By minimizing the time and effort it takes to communicate, you can maximize your output and increase your flexibility.
