Incorporating silly questions into your live polls can be beneficial for everyone. . One of the enjoyable aspects is seeing the humorous responses that your friends and colleagues come up with.</p><p>These types of questions can add variety to the flow of your presentation and create a positive atmosphere for your audience. This is especially true if you are presenting to an audience that you are already familiar with. It is also important that the question is clear and easy to understand so that people can easily provide an answer. Additionally, the question should be relevant and interesting to the audience it is being presented to. A good sense of timing is also key, there are questions which are funny at a given time but not so much at another.</p><h2 id="super-poll-on-brightful">Super Poll on Brightful</h2><p></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><a href="https://now.brightful.me/super-poll?ref=brightful.me"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2023/02/Banner--Supper-Poll_1.gif" class="kg-image" alt="40 Funny Poll Questions" loading="lazy" width="270" height="464"></a></figure><p></p><p>If you are looking to create your own live poll full of questions that will get everyone laughing and entertained, Super Poll - available exclusively on Brightful is the perfect tool you need! </p><p>With <a href="https://now.brightful.me/super-poll?ref=brightful.me">Super Poll</a> - each poll covers a wide selection of topics and questions that everyone needs to answer to - with results of who voted for what shown afterwards.

This will help ensure that employees are more likely to complete the survey and provide honest and thoughtful responses.</li><li>Ensure anonymity: Encourage employees to be honest and candid in their responses by ensuring that the survey is anonymous.</li><li>Follow up on survey results: After the survey is completed, review the results and take action to address any issues or concerns that were raised.

In most cases, you don&#x2019;t need much to start a trivia game.</p><ul><li>Decide what format you want the game to be played in. Popular formats include pen and paper, tablet/smartphone-based, or a hybrid of both.</li><li>Come up with the trivia questions and answers.

Pictionary can also be best played with a few basic tools and an online whiteboard. </p><p>First, find an online whiteboard or drawing canvas that can be accessed live by everyone through their device via an internet connection - there are plenty of online canvases that can be accessed through any wide range of web browsers. Then find a <a href="https://www.brightful.me/blog/random-pictionary-word-generator/">random word generator</a> - this will create your word bank and choose the words everyone will select to draw out. </p><p>When it&apos;s time to play, simply have whoever is drawing at any given turn share their screen so everyone else can see what they are drawing and attempt to guess out loud what the word is. If you are using Zoom for your video call, this can be made easier to do by using the software&apos;s built-in whiteboard function. </p><p>Benefits of using this method to play Pictionary:</p><ul><li>You have full control over what words can be drawn out - make it as crazy or as many as you want!</li><li>Free to play! (All you need to pay for is the internet connection)</li><li>In addition, by playing Pictionary through this method, you can modify the game to meet a certain need or task. Want to turn it into a fun study tool to review course content? You can do so. </li></ul><h2 id="faqs-about-playing-pictionary-with-teams">FAQs about playing Pictionary with Teams</h2><p></p><h3 id="how-can-i-host-a-pictionary-game-with-my-group-through-a-video-call">How can I host a Pictionary game with my group through a video call?</h3><p>Whatever Pictionary game you choose to play, whether it be one of the methods mentioned above or one you find yourself, most can be run in the background or simultaneously while your video conferencing tool is running. Have your Pictionary game running on one side of your screen, with your video conference tool (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Hangouts, Discord, Skype etc.) on the other, so you can keep an eye on the current game while communicating with your team members. </p><p>Ensure everyone in your video call is logged into the platform you will be using to play your Pictionary game before the game host starts it. </p><h3 id="how-can-i-keep-everyone-engaged-throughout-the-gameplay">How can I keep everyone engaged throughout the gameplay?</h3><p>It&apos;s important to ensure everyone is still engaged with each round and each word that is being drawn out. Not only will this keep the game fun and engaging, but it might also even help people figure out what the word is quicker and add points to their score!</p><p>To keep players engaged throughout the game, break up each round with a minute or two to discuss the drawings themselves - such as commenting on how detailed (or how poorly) the drawing ended up, how were you able to guess so quickly (if you were fast to correctly deduct what the word was), or some of your thoughts on how you would have drawn it out if you were the chosen artist. </p><h3 id="how-can-i-keep-the-pictionary-game-fun-and-interesting-especially-if-we-play-it-as-a-regular-activity"><br>How can I keep the Pictionary game fun and interesting, especially if we play it as a regular activity?</h3><p>If you plan on incorporating Pictionary as an activity your team or group will play on a regular basis, it&apos;s important to keep the gameplay interesting to ensure your team won&apos;t be easily bored and uninterested in each week&apos;s scheduled Pictionary game session. </p><p>To make every Pictionary game interesting each time, change up the word difficulty. Don&apos;t restrict yourself to the same old, simple words; challenge yourself and everyone with harder words that are more complex to draw out or will take a little more thinking to guess what they are. Using Pictionary to review a chapter or previous course content? Add what you covered from the week into the word bank.</p><p>Don&apos;t forget to incentivise players to take risks and challenge themselves by taking on more difficult words - offer double the points or special abilities that give them a temporary advantage in gameplay! </p><h2 id="conclusion"><br>Conclusion</h2><p>Pictionary is more than just a fun group game to hone your drawing and deciphering skills. It is a great way to have fun with all of your team members and allow everyone a chance to express themselves artistically - no matter their drawing skills! Pictionary can make for a great way to engage your team while you are all working remotely, no matter where you may be in the world. </p><p>Also, don&apos;t forget to save any memorable drawings from your Pictionary game to reminisce and talk about for later!</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best 30 Halloween Words for Charades]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>It&#x2019;s time to get into the spirit for that time in October again.

The pandemic caused many organizations to adapt to new ways that would ordinarily go ignored or seemed wasteful for most of them. However, due to the emergence of COVID-19, many of them needed to change the way their employees worked, or else they would face severe consequences. By allowing their employees to work from home, many of them managed to either thrive or survive during these harsh times. </p><p>With more people becoming vaccinated, business leaders are attempting to draw back their employees to the <a href="https://www.brightful.me/blog/what-you-need-to-know-for-post-pandemic-remote-team-strategy/">office space</a>. A good percentage of them are eager to go back to the traditional way of working in the office and having their managers watch over their employees as they work away. However, employees are reluctant to return to the office space, with most of them having become accustomed to working from home.</p><p>Remote work has provided plenty of opportunities for employees to accomplish things they would never have time for by working at the office space. Many of them even believe that their jobs don&#x2019;t require them to be in the office space full-time and that it can be easily completed while they remain at home. With employees reluctant to leave their remote lifestyle and business leaders pondering how to resolve this issue, the idea for a hybrid work model has become an important topic in the business world. </p><p><a href="https://www.brightful.me/blog/the-best-management-tips-for-managing-a-hybrid-remote-team/">The hybrid model</a> is becoming more and more widespread among organizations as they attempt to get their employees back in the office space. There has been a massive amount of data about hybrid work becoming the future of the business world. Of course, the hybrid work model has been a bit of a mixed bag amongst employees. Some of them are welcoming it, while others are not seeing it as a beneficial option for them. <br></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2021/07/image-50.png" class="kg-image" alt="What Employees Really Think About The Hybrid Work Model" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="562" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/size/w600/2021/07/image-50.png 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2021/07/image-50.png 1000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="the-hybrid-model"><strong>The Hybrid model</strong></h2><p>While the hybrid model is being championed as the ideal way for a flexible future of work, it encompasses plenty of possible systems. No one organization will have the same hybrid model in place since every business will have a unique set of circumstances they need to work around to ensure their model is successful. The idea behind hybrid work is to offer more freedom to employees on where to work and when they can work. It is supposed to grant the employees more autonomy to fit around their daily lives, instead of structuring other parts of a weekday around hours logged in an office. </p><p>Most employers are considered the best of both worlds, with the independence and flexibility employees crave still remaining. But employers managed to get the structure and sociability that they previously held before the pandemic hit. Recent research has shown that employees seem open to the idea of a hybrid work model. <br><br></p><h2 id="employee-interest"><strong>Employee interest</strong></h2><p>According to a company report published by <a href="https://www.accenture.com/_acnmedia/PDF-155/Accenture-Future-Of-Work-Global-Report.pdf?ref=brightful.me#zoom=40">Accenture</a>, over 83% of employees stated that a hybrid work model in which they can work from home between 25% and 75% of the time is favorable to them. Moreover, 40% of employees stated they are more productive and healthy in any location, while 85% of those particular individuals stated they plan to remain with their company for a more extended period. </p><p>The study has further revealed the reasons why some employees wish to return to their office space instead of remaining remotely full-time. The two primary driving factors for the return of the office space are due to easy collaboration on projects and better access to technology, something some companies have been struggling with due to the nature of their industry. </p><p>Although, the study has shown that not everyone may share the desire for a hybrid work mode, especially among the different generations of employees. According to the report, over 74% of GenZer wish to continue working in-person for more collaboration opportunities, whereas 66% of GenXers and 68% of Baby boomers have stated the same. The study has even discovered that a number of these employees have claimed to feel disconnected and frustrated that they don&apos;t have access to the proper resources. Autonomy, technology, and supportive leadership have become increasingly challenging for certain employees to access while working off-site. <br></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2021/07/image-51.png" class="kg-image" alt="What Employees Really Think About The Hybrid Work Model" loading="lazy" width="771" height="479" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/size/w600/2021/07/image-51.png 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2021/07/image-51.png 771w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="the-employees%E2%80%99-role"><strong>The employees&#x2019; role</strong></h2><p>Studies like these are showing us that while a hybrid work model is being embraced by many, there is still some reluctance to adopt it. &#xA0;The role they have in the organization may not allow them to work entirely off-site. Some jobs require the employees to work at the office space since they won&#x2019;t have access to the necessary equipment and resources they require to accomplish their tasks. Collaborations can be more challenging due to the nature of virtual meetings.</p><p>Zoom fatigue is a thing that has occurred throughout the pandemic. Plenty of people are exhausted from using video conferencing platforms to conduct their meetings. In-person, meetings are better suited for people who need to collaborate over projects that require a more hands-on approach. Hence, why not everyone is overly excited about the possibility of remaining remotely or hybrid for that matter.</p><p>Business leaders need to take the time to consider who is allowed to work off-site and on-site. Some roles are just not suitable for remote working and will require employees to come in to do their tasks. For example, assembly workers need to be there physically to attend to the work. However, accountants can continue working from home since the only thing they&#x2019;ll need is a working laptop and internet connection.</p><p>Companies need to take the appropriate steps to better support a hybrid work model. That includes updating work policies, designing work around particular employees, developing digital flexibility, and leading with empathy. <br></p><h2 id="how-do-managers-feel-about-this"><strong>How do managers feel about this</strong></h2><p>Managers have been the ones in charge of leading their teams throughout the pandemic. They had a rougher time adapting to the roles of remote working than anyone else. After all, if the team required guidance on something they were unsure of, they would reach out to their manager for assistance. Managers had a tough time making it through the pandemic. Most of them did not have any experience or skills to run a remote team. </p><p>Some of them have suffered through mistakes here and there, with team members not collaborating or working together as much as they should have. That has led to tons of resources appearing that would assist them throughout the pandemic. Of course, even with the bumps in the road, managers were successful enough to continue running their teams and help the organization maintain its operations. </p><p>Managers and supervisors were the real champions in making the remote work model successful throughout the pandemic. They were the ones who succeeded at setting the tone for their teams. However, not everyone in management positions is excited about continuing the remote work model. Some managers may be fie with the idea of having their teams report to them remotely, others would prefer to meet with their workers in person. <br></p><h3 id="growing-pressure"><strong>Growing pressure</strong></h3><p>However, managers are starting to feel the pressure, and their stress levels are reaching an all-time high. In a survey conducted by Gartner, it was revealed that over 40% of managers were said to have been feeling higher levels of stress and were putting in far more hours into work than they were before the pandemic.</p><p>It&#x2019;s understandable why this has managed to occur among many managers. Remote and hybrid work has increased the pressure on managers to spend more time coming up with ways to improve the work environment and keep track of everything happening on their teams. With the introduction of a hybrid work model, they are going to be dealing with two separate methods instead of one, and that is where problems start to appear. </p><p>Furthermore, employees who are out of sight for too long will start to become distant memories in the minds of the manager. Throughout the pandemic, nearly half of employees were feeling unrecognized and overly concerned that their work was not being noticed. Feeling overlooked when managers barely have any visibility into the work done is a well-documented case of cause and effect. The impact of these actions is severe, not just for the team&apos;s morale but the organizations as well. </p><p>With the upcoming changes being made by most organizations these days, managers are going to have a more troublesome time running their teams. Not everyone has managed to get a good enough handle on managing their remote teams, and the changes made by the organizations could upset what modicum of balance they have managed to achieve so far. For a hybrid work model to work, organizations need to be proactive in assisting their management teams and provide them with the assistance they need to handle the upcoming changes. <br></p><h2 id="conclusion"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2><p>The Hybrid work model is going to change the way people do business, but it might not work well for everyone. Some people will continue to crave working in the office space for many reasons, while others will prefer working off-site. Business leaders will need to carefully plan their steps when setting up their hybrid work model. They need to ensure that it&#x2019;s something they can handle on all levels of the organization.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Can I Monitor Employees That Work Remotely?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Remote work is steadily increasing, and more organizations are keeping an eye on them through the use of remote monitoring technologies]]></description><link>https://www.brightful.me/blog/how-can-i-monitor-employees-that-work-remotely/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">60f734b98a2ec1003b567efd</guid><category><![CDATA[Remote Work Tips]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wilson Pang]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 13 Sep 2021 04:07:00 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2021/07/2586271_raios-de-luz-png-network-operations-center-icon.png" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2021/07/2586271_raios-de-luz-png-network-operations-center-icon.png" alt="How Can I Monitor Employees That Work Remotely?"><p>The number of people working from home is steadily increasing, and more organizations are keeping an eye on them through the use of remote monitoring technologies. These tools provide a user with various features that keep watch on several aspects of your team&apos;s daily work routine. Knowing that your workers are doing the work is crucial in ensuring productivity and efficiency are being met. Depending on the monitoring tool, employers can track multiple things, such as the number of keystrokes, and measure their active and idle time. </p><p>However, using these tools has some risks attached that you should be aware of before implementing. Monitoring your workers can subject your organization to several federal and state laws regarding when employees have the right to privacy and when they need to be notified they are being monitored. This is something you want to be careful of regardless of whether or not you have business insurance. Make sure you seek legal advice before you proceed with any sort of monitoring.</p><p>Legally speaking, letting them know about the surveillance is a better way to prevent any possible lawsuit. </p><p>While you can be<a href="https://www.brightful.me/blog/why-transparency-matters-in-remote-work/"> transparent</a> with your team about keeping an eye on their work, you still want to avoid any potential legal issues. Furthermore, you must develop trust among your remote workforce around privacy concerns. That is why when using these monitoring tools as part of your remote workforce management, employers need to achieve a balance between privacy and the organization&apos;s need to monitor and manage the <a href="https://www.brightful.me/blog/the-best-tips-for-increasing-productivity-in-a-remote-environment/">productivity levels</a>.</p><p>For this post, let&#x2019;s go over the best ways you can monitor your remote employees.<br></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2021/07/image-46.png" class="kg-image" alt="How Can I Monitor Employees That Work Remotely?" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="545" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/size/w600/2021/07/image-46.png 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2021/07/image-46.png 1000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="privacy-concerns"><strong>Privacy Concerns</strong></h2><p>Employers interested in using software that monitors remote employees as part of their remote management strategy need to be aware of the concerns of their workforce on their privacy. Generally speaking, you should inform your remote employees which of their activities are monitored, how you plan to observe them, how their computer activity is utilized, and who is permitted to access their data. It&#x2019;s a common concern and objection of employees that are going to be watched while working from home. <br></p><h3 id="data-collecting"><strong>Data collecting</strong></h3><p>The data you collect from your remote employees while using monitoring tools can assist you in managing your remote workforce. However, business leaders need to avoid falling into a pitfall where they begin to micromanage time and instead use the insight to come up with informed product decisions. </p><p>Your employees may feel uncomfortable knowing that they are being monitored while working from home and will become concerned about how the data is being utilized. Chances are, they are going to be overly concerned about having their productivity level measured by a monitoring software that doesn&#x2019;t offer the entire content on how well they are performing on their tasks. </p><p>Monitoring the usage of a computer can produce tons of informative data on how remote employees are using the internet and software application on their devices, but depending on the role of their jobs and working style, there is a good chance they could be spending time away from their laptops but remaining productive. Employees may also take some short breaks to recover their energy throughout the day, and it may cause concerns that their managers will see these breaks as them becoming disengaged. <br></p><h3 id="away-from-the-computer"><strong>Away from the computer</strong></h3><p>Another concern is the monitoring software&apos;s inability to determine when a remote worker engages with their work, but it does not require using a laptop. For example, phone calls are a part of sales deals, so that could be an issue when it comes to mentoring your remote employees. Trivial moments of inactivity are standard throughout a workday, and remote employees may become concerned that their managers will misuse the data to micromanage these short moments of inactivity. <br></p><h3 id="data-protection"><strong>Data protection</strong></h3><p>Lastly, the protection of the data is also a significant concern. Internet activity collected by these monitoring programs can be potentially sensitive, such as the employees browsing history. The thought of having their browning history leaked public is a significant concern for these employees. They also may not have confidence in the fact that their employers are taking appropriate data loss precaution measures to protect their sensitive data. </p><p>Employers that are utilizing monitoring software for remote workers tracking need to be aware that using internet usage data is not the best way to analyze if their workers are remaining productive. That decision should not be made on monitoring internet usage alone. Instead, use that data to see which employees are disengaged and not telling the truth about their contributions to the workload. </p><p><br></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2021/07/image-47.png" class="kg-image" alt="How Can I Monitor Employees That Work Remotely?" loading="lazy" width="800" height="512" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/size/w600/2021/07/image-47.png 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/c9/c5/c9c57e5e-6fef-464e-a31d-e457122c98fb/content/images/2021/07/image-47.png 800w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="make-a-monitoring-policy"><strong>Make a monitoring policy</strong></h2><p>Setting up an employee monitoring policy is crucial for communicating to your workforce how and why you are using these monitoring tools. A carefully defined policy that outlines the company&#x2019;s employee monitoring goals and the techniques used to gather data will vastly help improve transparency. Being open with your employees about these monitoring tools before their implementation will allow employees to voice their concerns. It also serves as a learning opportunity for them to understand how employee monitoring will be used by the organization. </p><p>An employee monitoring policy offers employees the information they need to know about the organization monitoring over the workplace. While it does not constitute consent from a legal standpoint, the power imbalance caused in the relationship between employer and employee can mean that consent is not relied on as the legal precedent for employee monitoring when it comes to things like data privacy laws. </p><p>There are several things you should consider including in your policy:</p><ul><li>The amount of data that is acquired</li><li>How the data shall be used by the organization</li><li>What security measures the company has implemented to protect employee data</li><li>Who has access to the data</li><li>Who should employees go to voice their concerns</li></ul><p>To calm your employees&apos; nerves, consider adding a policy that allows employees to get access to their personal reports so they can see what data is being captured. Any available chances to boost transparency shall help develop trust in the intention behind the monitoring done by your organization. Remote work monitoring is not something employees will normally be enthusiastic about so be prepared to compromise.</p><h2 id="don%E2%80%99t-monitor-personal-devices"><strong>Don&#x2019;t monitor personal devices</strong></h2><p>If your organization is not providing dedicated devices to use off-site, then that means you need access to their personal devices. However, there are limited on the type of monitoring activities you can conduct on your employees. If you manage to receive permission to monitor their productivity through their personal devices, you need to carefully plan out how to implement the software and avoid collecting any personal information and sensitive data. If employees are working from home, establish a designated schedule, set up monitoring activities that only happen during those working hours to avoid collecting sensitive personal data. That way, if an employee is doing other work on the side, such as, for example, starting an online business like an online shop or online learning platform, you won&#x2019;t collect data about what they&#x2019;re doing. <br></p><h2 id="limit-your-monitoring"><strong>Limit your monitoring</strong></h2><p>Your organization should only monitor what is absolutely necessary since you don&#x2019;t want to make your employees feel like they are being watched 24/7. Limit the amount of monitoring to only what is required so you can reduce the negative impact caused by collecting employee privacy data. Business leaders need to define what type of data is needed for them to manage the remote workforce. The monitoring that takes place needs to be balanced between legitimate reasons, its legitimate uses, and the impact it has on worker privacy. <br></p><h2 id="establish-milestones"><strong>Establish milestones</strong></h2><p>One way you can make monitoring easy and less intrusive is by providing your employees with milestones. Employees can mark down their progress accurately, and you are confident in their progress. Setting clear milestones, employees can report progress each day instead of waiting until the end of the week or month. </p><p>Implementing a milestone report also offers your company less invasive visibility. Managers will be able to see if their remote team members are making the necessary progress to accomplish their tasks on time. Segmenting the more extended assignment into milestones allows you to gather critical data for planning out projects in the future. It also allows you to track how long it takes your employees to reach these milestones so you can come up with a better project in the future. <br></p><h2 id="project-and-task-management-software"><strong>Project and task management software</strong></h2><p>Instead of installing software that monitors every facet of their movement, consider using project and task management software alternatively. There are several varieties of software in the market. All of them can help track project progress, help manage your business, organize your workforce, and assign tasks related to various projects. </p><p>When a new project has been created, the team manager can generate it on the platform and assign it to the employees to work on the project. Managers can log in at any time to check-in and see the progress of their employees. If any employees need more tasks, they can quickly fill them in as well. </p><p>The software is not the best as an all-in-one employee workload monitoring tool because it still leaves some gaps in the data required to monitor employees.
