Rhythm Systems Launches My Work and People EnergyMap Tools
Rhythm Systems, a developer of enterprise productivity programs, recently announced the launch of two collaboration tools, My Work and People EnergyMap, that will work with the Rhythm Systems strategy execution software in order to help employees stay on task.
What this means in practice is that My Work will help individual employees figure out their necessary daily tasks, and the People EnergyMap will give those same employees a look at group priorities and key performance indicators as they relate to an enterprise's overall goals each quarter. Managers will also have their own portals in the People EnergyMap to make sure they distribute tasks evenly across all departments so no single person becomes overloaded with responsibility.
Patrick Thean, the CEO and co-founder of Rhythm Systems, spoke in his company's announcement about the purpose of these tools and how they can help employees and their managers work more efficiently.
“We created My Work and People EnergyMap in an effort to help not just the individual employee be more productive and efficient, but also help managers know when their team members need assistance,” Thean said. “We’re excited to launch these tools to help teams collaborate better, improve performance, and stay focused to achieve goals.”
There are a number of features that come within the My Work tool. First, there is the Comments Stream that brings together all employee and group comments about the task to which they have been assigned. This can give the individuals involved a look into collective intelligence of the group and can also provide for a quick way to respond to other team members about specific issues. From there, the “Needs Attention” Screen makes sure that team members know exactly which project items are coming due and which items require some sort of immediate action. It also shows KPIs relevant to those individuals and tasks.
The My Work dashboard also includes the Rhythm News section which can post information about everything from project updates to company blog posts that can help spur productivity or insight. Finally, the Help Your Team feature for managers allows them to see the productivity of individual team members so they can provide assistance if necessary.
Rhythm Systems said its software is meant for midsize businesses and seeks to provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface that, in addition to the tools mentioned above, will make work easier simply through its ease of use as a product. Businesses can take advantage of My Work and the People EnergyMap to make sure they are on task during each quarter and throughout the whole of each year. When employees and managers are in lock-step with their vision of each company project, they can more easily work toward those ends and produce quality results. This is what Rhythm Systems tries to achieve.
