Best Tool to Manage Employees?

6 replies
I have been managing my employees via email, which works but is just not the most efficient way to do it.

I want to try to make things be more efficient between us, so I am wondering what the best tool is to manage my employees.

I am aware of a few already such as Project Path and Desk Away, so if you have any comments on those or any others, I would love to hear what you have to say.

    It all comes down to communication - you can never ever overcommunicate (except when discussing bodily functions - never overshare there).

    You need to use what ever tools you have available. We're a 3 person team and use email mostly with a once a week conference call via Webex to review and set goals and milestones and make sure we are all aware of the target. We also use our cells, IM, an online calendar and Skype.

    This beats the heck out of the old days when I used a cluex4 (which is a 2x4 with a handle - looks like a cricket bat :-) ) on my employees. When I had to be politically correct I used the PC Cluex4(TM) - it was a foam rubber version.
    Worked wonders - but oh, the lawsuits.....

    jackteckett and kylew, thanks for the replies, but I am referring to more of a software that can manage their tasks and documents and such.

    Right now I get the content emailed to me by my writer and then I have to email it over it to my submission team/link builders. It is not very efficient or organized.

    And I am big on being organized so this has been driving me nuts.

      Zoho ...

      < 3 user is freebie ... Business and add the CRM piece too. Outlook integration and sync for $3 month ...

      CRM / Forums / Discussions / WebX style software /

      Lots of product Breadth ... some are rather shallow in depth [functions and feature set speaking] but they will get the vast majority of your online comm/activity tracking and whatnot handled.
