We bring the team and personal touch into your home office.

Overcome the difficulties of working remotely and feel like being together in the office.

Successful teamwork needs team spirit

Good teamwork requires good communication, mutual respect and trust. Without cohesion there is no collaboration! Not only cooperative and creative activities require social proximity and personal exchange.

Companies that are unable to make employees working in home office feel being part of a team and make it difficult to share knowledge in order to understand contexts will risk that collaboration fails. This may prove very expensive in many ways.

Breaklounge stands for a good time to talk

Spontaneous conversations simply arise. Breaklounge is an easy to use mobil app that brings you a “good time to talk”!

With the mobile app you can talk to your colleagues via video call. The special thing about it: You see immediately who’s up for a virtual coffee break! Meet in the lobby or just pass by if you have the time and the desire. Your colleagues are waiting for you.

Why Breaklounge

Enabling social networks in the home office

Employees who work remotely and in virtual teams need room to develop social networks and build social contacts in order to work productively and stay motivated. When asked about the most important shortcoming both employees and companies agree: 95% of the respondents miss the personal interaction.
This is a great loss. How often turns a spontaneous informal conversation in the morning into a meaningful recap of yesterdays meeting? Or how many times interlocutors decide to pursue an idea?
With Breaklounge, companies give their employees the opportunity to exchange ideas in personal conversations.

In a word

The idea

Why we came up with Breaklounge.

What the many different tools for virtual teamwork cannot replace: The valuable conversations with colleagues at the coffee machine, the exchange of experiences and views.

Tools such as Microsoft Teams and Slack are very powerful and provide many features. But what they can not do is to establish mutual trust among the coworkers.

Breaklounge is the virtual meeting place for coworkers. Here, people talk to each other when they have time and want to do so, without being on site.

Cohesion and the feeling of belonging, both are basic human needs. Being part of a team simply feels better. Being part of a team simply feels better.
