What changes can installing a blue letterbox bring to a software house? Blue Box, as it is referred to, is an additional channel of communication in our company - it is a unique tool that allows everyone to speak out on issues that are important to them. Want to see how this solution works in practice? Take a look at the rest of the article!
What exactly is the Blue Box?
At Advox, we always put people first - we believe that the satisfaction of our team directly translates into the success of the entire company. You can read about how we shape our organizational culture by focusing on our employees here. How does Blue Box correspond with this philosophy?
Blue Box is a tool designed to share insights. Each employee can, via a box placed in a prominent location in our office (or anonymously via an online form in the case of those working remotely), share his or her insights that, for various reasons, he or she does not want to address in person. Moreover, such a space proves to be extremely important in the dynamically changing IT industry, where even the smallest detail can affect the efficiency and quality of work. In conclusion, Blue Box is a place that allows us to express thoughts and ideas (which are often reflected in our future activities), while enjoying the guarantee of anonymity.
Blue Box - changing or improving communication?
Experience, excellent knowledge of technology and... communication - these are the very elements that form the basis of successful projects. We are well aware of this, which is why Blue Box has become a tool that complements our information exchange on a daily basis. Why has it proven to be such a valuable tool?
The Blue Box not only improves dialogue within the company, but also allows us to understand what issues are most important (and sensitive) to employees. This in turn translates directly into the satisfaction of our team members. Thanks to such a solution, they gain confidence that the issues important to them will not go unanswered. We assume that there is no room for difficult questions at Blue Box. We not only answer concerns (e.g., in the form of an internal video), but also look for viable solutions that allow us to build an even better working environment.
A tool created for employees
Concern for the employee and his needs is manifested in maintaining free communication. Blue Box fosters this goal, giving each employee the freedom to express his or her thoughts and ideas in a completely safe and fully anonymous environment. How does the blue box fulfill its tasks in practice? Patrycja Migaszewska, HR Team Leader at Advox, tells us about it.
"In my view, Blue Box is not only a tool, but also proof that Advox respects the opinions of its employees. Team engagement is key for us, and Blue Box allows us to literally read the mood of the group. Every comment, suggestion or question that comes into our Blue Box is a valuable clue for us on how we can improve our work environment. Most importantly, the Blue Box is proof that our employees feel safe enough to share their concerns, ideas or suggestions, which is our greatest honor."
Blue Box - more than feedback...
Blue Box is not only a tool that corresponds to our feedback culture. It is also a solution that allows us to get to know our employees and their needs better. Blue Box in our organization means readiness for change and concern for the satisfaction of the entire team. In this way, not only do we support the company's growth, but we can also make a real impact on the satisfaction of each individual employee. We realize that talking is not always enough. Introducing additional means of communication such as Blue Box shows that every voice counts.
