If you don’t already know, the Triggers team is fully remote and works within 3 different time zones. We incorporate daily creative problem solving practices to identify workflow problems to make our work more effective and run smoother than ever. Today we wanted to share three systems that make our remote work more effective and run smoothly!
Weekly Check-ins
We have 3 fixed meetings a week on Google Meet with all of our team where we check-in on different aspects: In the first meeting we share our goals for the week, the second is to look at the progress on the tasks and receive feedback and lastly we share accomplishments. This is helpful because it allows us to have constant feel of what our work colleagues need help with and enhance remote design collaboration
Status messages
We use slack for all our internal communication which is not something out of the ordinary, however, we have designed a set of status messages that are super helpful (and cute) to help us communicate. This makes for great boundary setting and really improves our workflow.
Open conversation spaces
Things happen to us all the time - good and bad. We believe it’s so important to feel like you can share with your team and it is key to building relationships. We present to you the most unique and valuable place at Triggers - The Ventilation Chamber Channel. A safe space in slack where we can all rant about random occurrences…
On a final note, these tools help us so much to embrace working from home; however, every company is different. So if you are looking to innovate in these types of work processes make sure to design systems that best fit your structure.
