Chapter 1510 Tenda-Specific Office Chat Software!

Pei Qian blinked, utterly bewildered.

What the hell?

A huge success?

And the new recruitment exam attracted a large number of middle-level backbones, truly optimizing the company's personnel structure?

There were even people willing to take a pay cut to join Tenda?

No, this wasn't how the script was supposed to go!

Pei Qian had thought that there were too many people participating in the previous recruitment exam, and those recruited must be top students, exam gods, or people with real skills. Now, with a sudden surprise attack, a new recruitment exam would catch everyone off guard, and they might be able to recruit a few slackers or fish that slipped through the net, right?

But the registration was so popular!

Because there were too many people and the exam rules were very strict, those who were eventually screened out were still people with real skills.

Pei Qian was silent for a moment and asked, "So... what do you think the work ethic of these people is like?"

If they were coming for the benefits and their work ethic was very laid-back, then this could still be acceptable.

Wu Bin gave a thumbs up: "Absolutely top-notch, no doubt!"

"Although some people are willing to take a pay cut to join Tenda, seemingly for the benefits, two factors make them full of motivation!"

"First of all, they can only be backbones in other companies if they work hard and diligently. Now that they have finally entered Tenda, this work habit will naturally continue."

"Secondly, the reduction of working hours will force them to further improve their work efficiency and adapt to Tenda's working model. Because they have rich work experience, these people can take over work much faster than those graduates and newcomers!"

"For example, the employees that Nifeng Logistics poached from Shengyun Group are familiar with all aspects of the work. After being slightly transformed by the Tenda spirit, they can shine, and the speed of our company's expansion will inevitably increase significantly!"

Pei Qian: "..."

Something was wrong, the more he listened, the more wrong it felt!

Could it be that this recruitment exam and targeted poaching have brought in another batch of workaholics?

Well... be confident, judging from the current situation, it is already inevitable that more workaholics will be recruited.

Where's my Tenda Spirit Test? Bring it up quickly!

No, no, just a Tenda Spirit Test is not enough at all, I have to quickly think of other ways.

Especially, I can't let this new batch of middle-level backbones corrupt the company's atmosphere!

So, where should I start...

Work process!

If the work process is well-defined, these people can't turn the world upside down.

In fact, Pei Qian had made many similar attempts before, such as limiting overtime quotas, making the mouse move around randomly after work, and sending internal letters encouraging everyone to rest and enjoy themselves.

But it seemed a bit unsystematic and unable to be implemented in all aspects of the work.

Now, with more and more people being hired, and many old employees who have been deeply poisoned by other companies joining, the pressure is even greater, so I have to think of other ways.

Suddenly, Pei Qian had a flash of inspiration.

What is most closely related to the work process? Of course, it's the company's internal office chat software!

Currently, Tenda uses a very mainstream office software called fxt. Compared with social chat software, the functions of this office software are more inclined to communication in work, which is more convenient when dealing with work.

For example, it does not provide an invisible option, so you can see the online status of contacts more clearly; you can see the company's organizational structure and find the corresponding personnel according to the department grouping; everyone has their real name, and you can see all contact information, including phone numbers and email addresses; you can force pop-up reminders, send notification messages, and clearly see whether the other party has read the message or not.

It can be said that this software is mainly to improve communication efficiency in work. It basically does not consider the privacy protection or user experience of ordinary users in regular social chat software.

After all, in the workplace, the user experience of ordinary employees is often contrary to work efficiency.

The software is structured on the company's intranet so that technical personnel can view all chat records and monitor employees' private complaints or grumbles at all times.

Of course, due to the characteristics of Tenda, the usage of this software is definitely different from other companies. For example, all departments have defaulted that forced pop-up reminders are not allowed during non-working hours.

But this is just a generally accepted rule, and not every department strictly abides by it. Moreover, sometimes during non-working hours, department heads may use the phone or other commonly used social chat software to send tasks, and may not all use the fxt software to complete work arrangements.

Pei Qian suddenly realized that this matter must be changed!

This office chat software obviously cannot meet his needs and is completely incompatible with the Tenda spirit.

In the beginning, Tenda's company structure was quite simple, and fxt was just an internal chat software. Even if it did not conform to the Tenda spirit, it would not cause too serious consequences.

But now the situation is different. In the future, Tenda's number of employees will usher in a new round of surge. If work processes and systems cannot be planned well as soon as possible, the situation of workaholics will definitely become more and more serious.

This matter must not be underestimated!

Tenda also has the development capabilities. The tpdb website can develop such an internal chat software, and there is a ready-made architecture that can be used. This task can be given to Ma Yiqun.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian immediately called Ma Yiqun and asked him to come over and work with the Human Resources Department represented by Wu Bin to complete this task.

The headquarters of the tpdb website and the Zhongdian Chinese Website are also in the same building, so Ma Yiqun arrived soon.

After Pei Qian pondered for a moment, he said, "I have a new task for you, develop an internal office chat software that belongs to Tenda."

"The fxt software is not perfect and seriously does not conform to the Tenda spirit. As more and more new employees join Tenda, we must develop an internal office chat software that belongs to Tenda."

Ma Yiqun and Wu Bin nodded one after another, both feeling that President Pei was right.

The fxt software is indeed a bit outdated. It is indeed necessary to develop an internal office chat software for Tenda's special circumstances.

"So... President Pei, should this software be made according to the regular office software? Just improve the functions that fxt doesn't have?" Ma Yiqun asked.

Pei Qian shook his head: "Of course it's not that simple!"

"I think the biggest problem with the fxt office chat software is that it completely fails to live up to its positioning because it blurs the boundary between office and life!"

"So-called office software sends messages frequently during non-working hours. What kind of office software is that?"

"In my opinion, the Tenda internal office chat software we want to make should have the following characteristics."

"First, we must strictly distinguish and restrict the software functions during working hours and off-duty hours. Use it normally during working hours, and during non-working hours, there should be no notification pop-ups. Sending messages should not have any sound or vibration prompts. In emergencies, you can make voice calls, but you must first apply for overtime quota and there is a monthly limit on the number of times."

"Departments that send too many messages after work will have department heads criticized for incompetence!"

"Second, all work must be uploaded and sent using this chat system and email. Employees can refuse to execute anything that is not recorded in this software."

"Third, make a leaderboard for hitting the clock-in time. Employees can clock in when they go to and leave work. Those whose clock-in time is closest to the standard time for going to and leaving work will be rewarded; Those who arrive early and leave late indicate low work efficiency, and department heads must focus on them and advise them!"

"Fourth, we must strictly regulate the process handling methods: Send a message for things that are not urgent or important; communicate face-to-face for important and urgent matters, and then send a message as a follow-up; send an email first, then send a message for important but not urgent matters; pull a video conference for urgent but not important temporary matters, and then send a message as a follow-up."

"In short, the person in charge must standardize his work process and clarify the levels of various tasks. All problems caused by unclear orders have nothing to do with the employees."

"Fifth, open an anonymous forum, just like the Tenda Spirit Test, only I can view the identity of the anonymous person, and no one else can view it. Everyone is allowed to post information on the forum anonymously and discuss the errors and shortcomings of the company."

"That's about it. I'll add more later when I think of new content."

Pei Qian's goal was very simple: First, require everyone to convey work content using this software; second, strictly monitor and resolutely prevent sending messages to arrange work on rest days!

Because some functions were not perfect when using fxt, department heads simply made phone calls or sent messages on other chat software, which caused great difficulties in supervision.

How many people are secretly working overtime on weekends? It's really hard to count.

But after changing this software, all persons in charge are required to use it to send tasks. If they don't use it to send tasks, then employees have the right to refuse to execute them.

In this way, which department is secretly working overtime, and which department is always arriving early and leaving late? Wouldn't everything be clear at a glance?

As for the clock-in leaderboard and the anonymous forum, these are natural derivative functions.

Wu Bin and Ma Yiqun were stunned.

So, what President Pei said about "fxt's imperfect functions" meant this kind of imperfection!

Although President Pei's requirements sounded a bit inexplicable at first glance, after thinking about it carefully, they did seem to be quite similar to Tenda's style.

Is it strange for a company where the mouse runs around randomly after get off work to freeze 90% of the functions of the internal chat software on rest days?

It doesn't seem strange, but it makes sense!
