Tips for a smooth return-to-work
Yesterday, you were at the beach, lounging by the pool with a good book in your hands, enjoying late dinners… This week, it’s back to work… and you are in a panic about what is waiting for you:
Content
- 342 unread emails
- Hundreds of team discussions that took place without you, on top of that on various tools because each team has its preferences
- Dozens of documents edited during your vacation
- Not to mention the meetings scheduled without you and the hundreds of notifications on the various tools you use daily
Result: you feel completely overwhelmed and, in an instant, the benefits of your vacation evaporate, leaving you stressed: where to start? How to get back on track? The go back to work, supposed to be a new beginning, too often turns into a real headache.
What if we could change that?
1 - The real problem: information that is too scattered
If going back to work seems so complicated, it’s not just because you’re returning to work with your mind still elsewhere… It’s mainly because information is completely scattered. You have to juggle between:
- Your email inbox and endless reply feed
- Many chat rooms
- Your project management tools
- Your shared drives or servers for documents
- Notes and conversations that took place “behind the scenes” while you were away
- Notifications from the countless business tools you use every day…
In short, your return to work turns into a digital treasure hunt. You don’t work, you “unstack” your email inbox and go in search of lost information. And that’s the best way to waste time, concentration, motivation… and end up completely exhausted just a few days after your return.
2 - The digital workplace: the solution to a stress-free return
After all that chaos, imagine a single, centralized space where all useful information is gathered and filtered. Yes, this solution does exist, and it’s called a digital workplace. Behind this name, which may seem nebulous and perhaps even intimidating, lies a very easy reality. All you need to do is launch a single tool to access everything you need via a single interface:
- Centralized activity stream: at a glance, you can see what happened while you were away. The latest news from your organization, the progress of your projects, updated documents… Everything is brought together and can be filtered according to different criteria.
- Smart notifications: don’t get overwhelmed by information! Set up the notifications that are most relevant to you and receive only useful and priority information.
- Unified search: easily write a keyword to find a conversation, document, information about a project or task, across the entire platform.
- Collaborative spaces: news, projects, informal exchanges via chat… everything is accessible and organized to help you get back on track smoothly.
The digital workplace is a true digital compass: it guides you, prioritizes information, and allows you to get back up and running quickly and with peace of mind.
3 - From anxiety to peace of mind
What does this mean in practical terms? You arrive at the office or log in remotely. You launch your digital workplace and, in a few minutes, you have an overview of what you’ve missed. You can see which projects have progressed, which documents are up to date, and which messages are waiting for a response. You can immediately pick up where you left off with your assignments and tasks, without spending hours searching through your emails or asking your colleagues for a summary. You know where to start.
Going back to work no longer seems insurmountable. You have a clear, reassuring, and organized to-do list. Thanks to the digital workplace, you can regain control over your work and your goals, without stress.
The return to work doesn’t have to be chaotic and mentally draining. With a digital workplace, you save time and turn this moment into a fresh start that’s clear and calm. Everything is centralized, accessible, and organized. You can tackle this new period with energy… and, above all, you have the peace of mind you need to focus on what really matters: your projects, your ideas, your teams.
