As a researcher interested in teamwork and team effectiveness, March 2020 was a fascinating moment for me. Around the world, knowledge workers at organisations large and small were suddenly forced to work from their homes. As we scrambled to get a read on the effect this was having inside Atlassian, we also commissioned an international, multimodal study to capture and make sense of the impact on individuals and teams across a range of industries as they grappled with these extraordinary changes.

A decade ago, we created Asana to help the world’s teams work together effortlessly. Our mission continues to drive everything we do, because we continue to be inspired by the work your teams do.

Are you searching for solutions to prevent overworking employees at your organization? It’s no secret that having overworked employees is usually an indicator of your poor organizational performance. Unfortunately, many companies tend to overlook the problem of overworking until it’s too late and has caused employee burnout. So how do you spot the warning signs of overworking in your organization before it’s too late?

Interested in learning about some engaging team building activities? Sure, team building activities are a great way to boost morale, increase collaboration and create a group of tightly-knit coworkers. However, team building activities are only useful if they are informative and enjoyable at the same time. Unfortunately, your average team-building activity doesn’t live up to this. Most team building games are embarrassing, awkward, and a waste of time!

When you’re responsible for a team’s performance, you might feel the itch to micromanage. You might be thinking, if you don’t watch employees’ every move and assign all tasks, how will the group stay on track? But micromanaging stifles the creativity and collaboration that drives high performance teams. Multiple studies have shown that micromanaged employees are less creative, produce lower-quality work, and are less engaged overall.

A few years ago, I was growing a marketing agency. Most of the time, I was working 70-80 hours a week, if not more. (I was much younger then, and I thought I could handle it.) This went on for a couple of years. Week in, week out. Until one day, I just totally burned out. It took me weeks to begin to recover from that episode. And then I vowed never to burn out again.

After months of planning and behind the scenes work, we’re proud to present – our new Scoro video. We are grateful for everyone who has helped us throughout this project and hope that it shows the world what Scoro is all about – working smarter, not harder. We all deal with issues of immediacy and urgency nowadays. We’re always busy and expected to get more done in less time.

For many of us, the way we work has changed since the start of 2020. We’ve had to adapt to the unexpected, embrace remote working, and learn to keep work going even when we’re not all in the same office space. But among all the uncertainty, one thing has become clearer than ever: even when we’re apart, we’re all in this together. And teamwork has never been more important.

We know that when teams come together, they can achieve brilliant things. But in order to get the most out of your people — and out of your project management tool — you need to make sure they’re set up correctly. With the Teams feature in Teamwork, it’s even easier to collaborate with the right people.
