Traditional communication methods, like memos and formal meetings, have their value, but they can sometimes put a lid on creative sparks and keep important ideas from being heard. For instance, a formal meeting agenda might prioritize predetermined topics, leaving little room for innovative discussions or unexpected insights, unlike spontaneous communication.

Democratizing communication
Conventional means of communication in the modern workplace, such as formal emails and planned meetings, often limit the flow of ideas and collaboration. It may be due to reasons like rigid formalities, delays in communication, and hierarchical barriers. Zoho Cliq changes this landscape by democratizing communication, empowering every employee to voice their thoughts and contribute without the constraints of hierarchy or schedule.

The platform's ability to integrate with various productivity tools also means that ideas can quickly go from conception to action, further accelerating innovation and driving business success.
Enabling comfortable communication
Due to introversion or anxiety, which can make verbal communication in a live group situation daunting, some employees prefer writing over speaking in meetings. These individuals often find that writing allows them to think through their responses, articulate their thoughts more clearly, and manage the stress associated with spontaneous public speaking.
"There is zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas." — Susan Cain, American writer and lecturer
Zoho Cliq’s various channels of textual communication cater effectively to this need by providing a less daunting space for communication.
For example, in a Cliq channel, an introverted employee might feel more comfortable contributing ideas during a brainstorming session. Unlike in a formal meeting, where they might hesitate to speak up, fearing interruption or judgment, they can take their time and participate more actively and confidently. This format boosts their comfort and engagement and enriches the discussion with diverse viewpoints that might not surface in a traditional meeting setting.
Maximizing efficiency through casual communication
Meetings are much needed, but research indicates that excessive meetings can be counterproductive, with studies showing that the average employee spends around 31 hours per month in unproductive meetings. Platforms like Zoho Cliq streamline interactions by offering a secure space for instant, casual communication, reducing the need for lengthy face-to-face or online meetings. With features like real-time messaging, file sharing, and integration with project management tools and others, Zoho Cliq enables teams to efficiently collaborate, exchange ideas, and make decisions on the go.
Reducing formality frees up employees to concentrate on implementing ideas rather than merely discussing them. Higher productivity and better completion of tasks are the result of this.
