For Team Leaders
When businesses face increased pressure, confidence becomes essential. Sustained progress can give employees and customers security.
Communication is key to maintaining high-quality work in unusual circumstances. Accountability, inspiration and collaboration are all more challenging at a distance. A virtual meeting might get the team talking, but sacrifices spontaneous interactivity. Instant messaging can help, but lacks the vital energy and emotional component of the human voice.
Zello allows team members to communicate flexibly, broadcasting to a group, leaving behind a message that can be played back later, or grabbing co-workers’ attention when needed — just like the interactions of a physical office.
For HR and Culture Professionals
Distance and digitization of communications can pose a challenge to the relationships upon which great work relies. Emails can be misinterpreted. Virtual meetings can feel stressful or strange. The blurring of private home life and public work life can impact employee well-being.
Zello offers a way to empower every team member, allowing them to take ownership of their workload and their availability to connect.
The push-to-talk experience, modeled on walkie talkies, feels familiar and natural. Employees can reply to messages later, or have fully engaged conversations - whichever suits the context.


For Everyone Working From Home
When you can’t be with your co-workers in person, work itself can feel distant, chaotic and even lonely.
In these conditions, it’s more important than ever to set expectations between managers and reports, connect on a personal level with teammates, and define boundaries between work and leisure.
Casual conversation, whether work-related or not, feels out of place during virtual meetings. Constant notifications can make instant messaging more of a distraction than a tool for productivity.
Zello makes it easier to stay in touch with your team on your own terms, making working from home feel natural and comfortable. Rather than setting up a formal meeting or waiting for someone to respond to a written message, just push to talk.
