Working from home is a great success
but with pitfalls.

The new normal also brings many questions, expectations and requirements.

For many companies home office is a positive evolution. Reservations such as decreasing productivity or loss of control have vanished. Companies receive a lot in return from their empolyees in shape of self-discipline and self-organisation. Nevertheless, the new work reality still poses challenges:

How does knowledge transfer work within the group?
How are employees not left behind and are enabled to build social networks?
How can conflicts be resolved and be worked off?
How to better understand the point of view of others and how to develop a shared vision?

The New Reality

Breaklounge sets a focus on people and the team

The office in not only a place in which tasks are completed. It’s a place where people meet each other and where social networks are formed. The joint break, the chance to meet at the coffee machine and an spontaneous informal conversation can transform a task which is perceived as irrelevant into something meaningful.

Informal talks are essential. More and more businesses are recognising the importance of creating communications channels that their employees can also use in home office in order to exchange professional experiences and ideas.

Breaklounge does not replace collaboration tools but is a meaningful complement.

Microsoft Teams, Slack and so on focus on work output and structured collaboration within a group and not on team spirit and cohesion.

Today, most collaboration and teamwork tools are mainly used to enable decentralized teams to work together on projects. They are all powerful and combine various functions, e.g. for real-time communication, distribution and provision of documents and information, and task planning including reporting.

Collaboration tools fail to deliver when it comes to a critical aspect of teamwork: to establish mutual trust and to encourage the willingness to cooperate.

Breaklounge helps to exchange undocumented knowledge and to strengthen personal relationships and ties which are essential for successful teamwork.

Breaklounge brings the people in a team together without time pressure and time-limit constraints. But when they have time and are in the mood for it.
