Align’s Huddle Tools manage team member updates and associated tasks to create focus and to drive accountability. Throughout this disruption, these tools are available for free for organizations looking to improve communication and increase productivity. The Align Huddle Tools include a portal for a written record of huddle content and task performance, which serves especially well for virtual meetings or huddles when some employees are unable to attend. “It’s all about productivity. Companies thrust into remote management need tools to make it easier to communicate efficiently, manage workflows and provide transparency into daily work. We hope this offer aids in the response efforts for businesses as they work to weather these economic challenges,” said Doug Walner, CEO of Align.
