Uplevel Releases New Features to Empower Remote Engineering Teams

Uplevel, a company that leverages both machine learning and organizational science to empower engineering effectiveness, today announced new software features to help engineers and their teams improve the way they work together when remote.

“At the office, engineering teams used to worry about physical interruptions and in-person meetings, which forced them to context switch to keep up,” said Joe Levy, co-founder and CEO, Uplevel. “Now, due to increased digital interruptions from work and physical distractions from home, teams are context switching more than ever. As a result, many people are “always on” — responding to messages at all hours, an easy solution since their office is right next to the bedroom. We saw this change in our data and are pleased to release new insights and tools to empower teams to stay engaged, effective, and balanced in this unprecedented new reality.“

Supported by coaching and best practices, Uplevel’s work-from-home solution features three new data visualizations for managers, backed by coaching.
