New Work through Atlassian Tools: These opportunities are offered by New Work for your company

The new developments in the world of work offer companies completely new possibilities for organizing work, which opens up many new opportunities for employers and employees.

The upcoming generation of young employees has very different demands about the organization of work than the previous generations. “Working time is living time” is the motto Generation Y strives for. Status, money and career are moving more into the background. Flexibility, freedom and work-life balance, on the other hand, are becoming increasingly important. Models such as home office, workation, flexible working hours or sabbaticals are the perfect way for employers to meet these demands.

Employers also benefit from more satisfied employees, because higher employee satisfaction also leads to increased motivation. In addition, due to the omnipresent shortage of skilled workers, companies are facing a high level of competition on the labor market. If you want to present yourself as an attractive employer on the market, you have to meet the demands of potential new employees and integrate the models described into your everyday work.

Examples of New Work methods:

• Agile project management

• New management styles and flat hierarchies

• Modern technologies/Internet

• Cross-team collaboration

• Flexible working hours

• Location-independent work

• Time-independent work

As you can see, following the New Work trend offers great opportunities for employers. In order to make your company ready for it, there are already some tools that make the process much easier. In the following, we would like to introduce you to two particularly useful tools that will support your company in the transformation to New Work: Jira and Confluence. The two software products from Atlassian are ideal to implement modern ways of working in your company, because they support you by integrating more agility into your organization.

New Work through Atlassian Tools: How Jira and Confluence help you to integrate New Work

In order to integrate a productive way of working for this team, through which each employee is always kept up to date despite all the challenges, Jira and Confluence are the perfect tools.

How Atlassian’s Confluence helps you integrate New Work

For teams that are structured like or similar to the example above, it is essential to have a common, detailed knowledge database. Every team member must be able to access all information which is important for their work, such as protocols, access data, notes, etc., at any time.

These are exactly the advantages that Confluence delivers, and it also brings a few more useful features for your daily work. Confluence is a kind of personal Wikipedia of your company, because there you can upload texts, files, images, notes, etc. and share them with your team. All team members, no matter where and when they work, can have a look and edit or comment on this content at any time. This way, effective collaboration within the team is easily guaranteed.

How Atlassian’s Jira helps you integrate New Work

In the day-to-day work of the team described above, a wealth of different tasks arise not only within the department, but also across the board with other internal and external teams. To ensure effective coordination of these tasks, a tool is needed that enables clear project communication and efficient coordination within the team.

Jira from Atlassian is the tool that integrates these processes into your company, because it is a unified area in which you can comprehensively coordinate all tasks. Tasks are created by the users as tickets and all team members can inform themselves about the content, status, deadlines and progress of all tasks of the team at any time. Tickets can be commented on and assigned to each other, which makes project progress transparent and agile at all times. Losing track of tasks or even forgetting individual tasks is almost impossible, because you get a notification by mail when a ticket is created and every new comment, if you want. Additionally, transparent and effective project management for every team member, no matter where and when they work, is guaranteed by Jira.
