    At my company we use different approaches to understand what our most important priorities are. We constantly ask ourselves, “What will create the greatest impact?” Ask yourself, “What’s the work I’m most avoiding?” Unfortunately, this is often an indication that it’s the most impactful.

    Jotform, which automates the process of making web forms, first sprang into action when the aftershocks subsided. “We have three offices in Turkey: Ankara, Izmir, and Istanbul,” says Burak Cifikli, chief operating officer of Jotform. The closest office that Jotform had to the epicenter of the quake was in Ankara, some 430 miles away, but the scale of the disruption was such that even they were affected.

    Employee data is critical for making better business decisions, improving productivity, and reducing turnover. Yet obtaining and storing data can get messy if it’s collected using a traditional method like a paper survey. One way to make the data collection process less challenging is to adopt contactless methods.

    One of the skills I value most in myself — and why I believe I've been successful at growing Jotform over the last 16 years — is my ability to engage with those around me. People love to talk about themselves. Listen attentively and ask questions, and in this way, you can start to build a rapport.

    Being an entrepreneur is inherently risky. But the usual risks have magnified in recent years given the uncertainty of the economy in the wake of Covid, the new challenges of managing remote or hybrid teams, and even unrest and conflict abroad.

    Perhaps the biggest challenge of all is ensuring that any survey regarding healthcare is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. It’s imperative to follow all HIPAA regulations and expectations when collecting, storing, and using survey data. Another challenge is ensuring that the data collected is accurate. Survey participants may be reluctant to be forthright, especially if the survey isn’t anonymous.

    I've been CEO of my company, Jotform, for more than 16 years now, and I've seen the above scenario play out more times than I'd like to count. And what I've discovered is the same as what Harvard Business Review contributor Helen Lee Bouygues points out when she writes that the root cause of these organizational failures comes down to a lack of critical thinking.

  • image - 39

    As CEO of my company, Jotform, there were no easy answers to give, but I knew that it was up to me to remain a steady harbor for my team. We'd have to work together to develop new coping mechanisms. And it was also up to me to figure out a variety of decisions. This meant that I needed to leave my comfort zone and come up with an entirely new way of leading.

  • image - 40

    I'll be the first to recognize that I was particularly hard on myself when I first founded my company, Jotform. But what I didn't want to do was have this mindset infiltrate the culture I was trying to build. And this became a huge turning point in how I coped with the pressure to overwork.

    As CEO of Jotform, a company with six offices in four countries, I can relate to the added stress of managing people across digital channels—not to mention various time zones.

    Automation’s Silent Revolution Becomes Loud and Mainstream: Automation has been a “silent revolution,” with companies slowly increasing adoption over time. Amidst the global economic downturn, adoption of automation will be fast tracked as companies look to cut costs while boosting productivity and collaboration.

    When I first founded my startup, Jotform, 16 years ago — I was over-eager and ambitious. I was also a self-proclaimed perfectionist and this didn't help with attempting to keep my impulses in check. But over time, as the pressure of growing my business became more intense, I made one of the best decisions for myself and my professional career: beginning a regular practice of mindfulness.

  • image - 47

    Jotform, an online forms SaaS solution, released Jotform Teams, a shared workspace for forms and data. The platform seeks to enable users to create forms, tables, E-signatures, reports, approvals and apps within a shared workspace, so the assets are accessible to users with different roles and permissions.

  • image - 48

    Jotform Teams provides a fully collaborative environment enhanced by the complex permissions sets it supports. Organisations can create workspaces, and individuals with the right permissions can move existing personal forms into a shared workspace for further iteration and approval.

  • image - 49

    Among the ten tools we reviewed, Jotform is our favorite online form builder. The application features a drag-and-drop form builder, has more than 1000 free templates, and lets you accept payments directly from the form. The form builder is also versatile and fits most use cases. Read on to find the best form builders for various scenarios.

    Setting smart goals means being realistic and patient. Focusing on slow and steady growth instead of immediate outcomes can help us ensure that our efforts pay off in the long run.

  • image - 51

    However, my go-to recommended add-on is Jotform. It's super easy to setup and just as easy to integrate with most major CRM platforms. Plus, it comes with its own workflow and other automation tools that can provide updates, responses and alerts even before the data hits your CRM system.

  • image - 52

    Each of these online form builders offers something unique to help you create the best forms and collect more responses from your audience. Our favorite form builder is Jotform since it makes building forms easy with templates for every scenario.

  • image - 53

    Platforms like Jotform Sign allow forms to be filled out and submitted electronically, eliminating the need for hard copies. Additionally, all documents will automatically be saved online in a secure location, making them easily accessible for future reference.

  • image - 54

    The purpose of my company, Jotform, is ostensibly to build easy-to-use webforms. But at our core, what we're really doing is helping people be more productive. Whenever we implement changes, I try to make sure my teams can see the connection between the shift in direction and how it relates to our wider mission.

  • image - 55

    Jotform Sign can help your school streamline documentation. It gives you access to an online space to collect sensitive information securely. And it can automate workflows that are part of your regular document collection. Schools and districts can use Jotform Sign as a quick and simple way to collect e-signatures.

    This was an enormous undertaking as the Cincinnati Zoo collected votes from every U.S. state and more than 60 countries. With Jotform, it was easy for them to create the form, distribute it, and collect responses to uncover the perfect name for the baby hippo.

    At Jotform, I know that my job as a leader is guiding my ship to shore, whether it’s smooth sailing or whether the waters turn rough. And they’ve been rough for some time now since the COVID-19 crisis began.

  • image - 58

    Jotform is one of the most powerful form services on the market. With Jotform, you can create incredible forms that make it considerably easier to collect data from various types of users and groups.

  • image - 59

    Jotform has recently entered the e-signature space with Jotform Sign. Businesses can use Jotform Sign to collect e-signatures and create legally binding documents. Like the Jotform platform, Jotform Sign features a streamlined, professional, easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface.

  • image - 60

    There are many players in the document signing space but I like what Jotform’s offering for a few reasons. For starters, it’s more affordable, given the features it provides compared to its competitors. I like Jotform’s ease of use. I like how simple it is to setup custom forms with automation and integration to existing applications.

  • image - 61

    The answer is quite simple: If you need forms with more customizations, a larger template library, and plenty of app integrations—and you don’t mind paying for the service—Jotform is the right option for you.

  • image - 62

    Online forms platform Jotform launched its e-signature product with automation capabilities, Jotform Sign. Around 450 Jotform employees from 26 counties gathered at the company's HQ in Turkey for the launch.

    It's not easy to rewire the way we regard ourselves. I've been CEO of Jotform for years, and for the majority of that time, I've approached my goals with an "all or nothing" mindset. But recently, I've been working on trying to be more accepting.

  • image - 64

    Aside from promoting pen-pals, Jotform operates with small, cross-functional teams where each group is like its own little business. Individuals are both independent and empowered to make their own decisions while also working on the same project.

  • image - 65

    Adding Jotform Sign to the Jotform platform makes complete sense. Most eSignature platforms do not have extensive form-building and workflow processes, making Jotform Sign such a powerful proposition.

  • image - 66

    The new Jotform Sign interface has a drag-and-drop process so users can create, share, finalize, and approve e-signature documents signed on any device, or users can upload their existing forms to be turned into digital forms.

  • image - 67

    At Jotform, we have many “superfans” who have been with us since the beginning. They love our products, refer us whenever they can, and give us feedback on how to improve with new products and features. Over the years, we’ve worked to keep improving our product and user experience, retaining seasoned customers and attracting new ones.

    Many sites let you create documents for free, but Jotform offers free templates that you can edit and share. Choose from a vast collection of business proposals, contracts, order forms, and other documents for your freelance business.

  • image - 69

    Jotform is great for building custom forms that can be integrated with existing business applications such as CRM and cloud storage apps. All told, Jotform has more than 150 integrations.

    With Jotform’s free no-code app builder, you can create a fully customized mobile application that includes forms and other tools tailored to your business needs.

    Jotform's sponsorship forms run the gamut on industries and topics, so whether you're seeking one for an arts organization, a local sports team, and beyond, you're sure to find a suitable template.

  • image - 72

    But I'm not interested in following the status quo. I'm interested in building a creative, thriving culture where people are valued. Why else would I become an entrepreneur? Building a company and a product is one thing, but creating an environment of trust with people you value — that's something you earn as a leader.

  • image - 73

    When I first founded my company, I was laser-focused on accumulating as much knowledge as possible about the industry. So I read every business book I could get my hands on. While this did indeed help me gain new skills and information, I've since changed my beliefs about how to become a life-long learner.

  • image - 74

    If you’re a hospital, health clinic, or blood bank, I’ll assume you have more important things to attend to than the design of your form, which is why high-quality templates like these are invaluable. Jotform also offers HIPAA compliance to protect patient data.

  • image - 75

    At my company, I know that my job as a leader is guiding my ship to shore, whether it’s smooth sailing or whether the waters turn rough. And they’ve been rough for some time now since the COVID-19 crisis began. Every time I record a weekly message for my team, or have lunch with an employee, I make sure they don’t only know how appreciated they are, but that they are immensely valuable to my company’s success.

  • image - 76

    In all my years at Jotform I can’t recall an instance when I witnessed an organization receive that many form responses in such a short time. We’re thrilled that our powerful form software played a small part in Fritz receiving his awesome name.

    Jotform is an easy-to-use form creator with lots of great features. My favorite feature? The automated approval flows. I was able to easily set up automated flows for the application form and quiz submissions.

    Maximizing time away is critical, but hitting the reset button isn’t about seeking out novel adventures (as fulfilling and fun as these can be). In my experience, truly unwinding consists of taking a step back and doing absolutely nothing.

  • image - 79

    My passion for building my company, Jotform, was still in its initial stages at that point. I had yet to learn what work/life balance meant, or how working through evenings, weekends and vacations was a surefire path to collapsing from exhaustion.

  • image - 80

    It's one of the biggest hurdles I've seen in the business world: leaders struggling to break down their thoughts into easy, translatable ideas. I used to be guilty of this myself. When I started my company, Jotform, 16 years ago as a programmer, you can imagine all of the jargon I'd accumulated as a techie — needless to say, my first presentations were riddled with them.

  • image - 81

    Jotform is an online form builder with an intuitive visual editor, known for making form building faster than ever. The tool has all the normal form-building capabilities as well as unique fields to customize your own forms. It also integrates with almost every marketing platform. The free plan caps out at five forms, with up to 100 entries per month.

  • image - 82

    Now as an entrepreneur all these years later, I often reflect on how much that experience was able to help me understand a perspective I wasn’t accustomed to. That’s why as CEO to my form-building company, I believe it’s important to create opportunities for cross-department “pen pals” to engage with one another and foster more openness in the workplace.

  • image - 83

    Jotform is an important solution because it's adaptable enough to remain highly functional within rapidly changing work environments. As the way we work evolves, Jotform is able to change with the times, help people stay productive, and automate redundant workflows.

  • image - 84

    Within my company, I am involved in every step of the hiring process: beginning, middle and end. And what I seek is a capacity for thinking outside the box—people who can teach me a thing or two about my own business.

  • image - 85

    Jotform lets you create online forms and fillable PDFs with ease. Its drag-and-drop system makes form creation a breeze. This means even those with zero background in coding can create a fully-customized, fillable form in minutes.

  • image - 86

    As a bootstrapped founder, I grew my company slowly and carefully, and that allowed me to understand that having an effective recruitment process is crucial for attracting the best candidates.

  • image - 87

    With Jotform, you can gather important digital documents as well as collect files and electronic signatures from clients, coworkers and colleagues. There’s a Form Builder feature that offers a variety of unique form fields designed to get you the data you need. Other features include kiosk mode, geolocation fields and offline data collection.

  • image - 88

    At Jotform, we’ve seen innovation go through the roof because we encourage a warm, non-threatening environment where everyone’s voice is equally heard and taken into account.

  • image - 89

    Jotform, a survey maker, is a great tool for creating professional and easy-to-use surveys and forms to collect feedback. You can also visualize the data you collect from your customers with JotForm’s easy-to-use report and sheets tools, so you can thoroughly understand what your customers want.

  • image - 90

    This was one of the hardest things to accept when I first founded my startup, Jotform. I thought that if I could think up every scenario, I could magically find the right solutions. But there were so many variables I had no control over — whether a client would have issues with our product or a team member would suddenly quit during our busiest season.

  • image - 91

    I’ve written before about how I believe self-awareness is key for innovation, and one of the reasons is because it allows us to overcome mental challenges and not become self-absorbed. It keeps our focus on doing what as leaders should be our top priority: the well-being of our people, and in creating a workplace that doesn’t promote superficiality over actual meaning and purpose.

  • image - 92

    Any organization that plans and/or hosts events should have a guest speaker form readily available. Jotform has a template that you can easily adapt to your needs, but the basic questions are already included.

  • image - 93

    As CEO of my company Jotform for the past 16 years, I've certainly made some hiccups along the way. But I've also learned valuable skills from researching and practicing better ways of getting my ideas across.

  • image - 94

    When I hold meetings with my teams, I make sure it’s not some lengthy monologue dictating orders. I ask questions and, more specifically, I make it a point to engage with the quietest individuals in the room; they’re often the ones with the most surprising ideas.

  • image - 95

    With over 10,000 templates, Jotform takes the cake as the survey maker with the most form templates on our list. Jotform also stands out for letting you accept payments with the free plan (although you’re limited to 10).

  • image - 96

    At Jotform, we continued to develop new features and apps that we thought would better serve our existing and future users over the long term. For example, we released our Store Builder app because we realized that one out of every three apps created through Jotform already included payment forms.

  • image - 97

    If your restaurant offers online takeout orders, you may want to use an online form builder that can double as an ordering system and a QR code generator. Some online form builders allow you to turn your menu into a QR code, so it’s easy for customers to fill out the order form and for you to track their order.

  • image - 98

    In 2021, we launched our product Jotform Tables, which we'd spent three years working on and honing. That's a lot of time in the tech world — but it didn't matter to me. What did matter was creating something that solved our user's problems.

  • image - 99

    The number-one selling point of keeping online forms beyond the pandemic has to be the overall convenience for everyone involved in your camp. Parents have enough things to worry about each day, so if you send a simple link to access their child’s registration form, it will probably be very much appreciated.

  • image - 100

    Thanks to Jotform's new customer form template, you can personalize your own in just a few clicks of a button. And yes, it's free. You have the option to add your business' logo, update the title, create a thank you page after site visitors submit, and beyond.

    I've been CEO of my company, Jotform, for 16 years now. In my early days, I would cower from conflict, choosing avoidance instead. But here's the thing about growing a business: Confrontation isn't just a given, it's a constant. You can only avoid it for so long.

    Contributor Aytekin Tank says he uses brain dumps as a means to tap into his creativity, as leader and founder of a company. “The truth is, our mind isn’t at its best or at its most creative when it’s being held under the weight of thousands of tasks and projects,” he writes.

    Jotform Store Builder isn’t limited to small businesses—industries across the board can benefit from Store Builder’s ease of use and value. This includes restaurants setting up a QR code menu to collect orders and non-profit organisations gathering donations.

    Jotform takes the security and privacy of our users very seriously. This starts with having solid internal processes. Part of my job here at Jotform is to ensure that security becomes part of everybody’s mission. We do that by providing in-depth security awareness training to all our employees and reminding them through various email campaigns how they can help keep Jotform safe.

    My road to starting my company, Jotform, was a slow burn. As a bootstrapped founder, I never secured a massive round of VC funding or reached tremendous milestones in a short period of time.

    When creating my company 16 years ago, I promised myself one thing: I’d be an ally, not a critic, to my team. Now more than ever, feedback and career development opportunities are a crucial aspect of retaining employees during the Great Resignation.

    Entrepreneurship is a balancing act, and one of the questions that comes up again and again is which is more important: Creativity or hard work? Frustrating as it may be to hear, the answer is both.

  • image - 122

    But one of the lesser-known ways of boosting productivity is one that leaders may initially see as counterintuitive: creating a positive sense of community. Founders might think that too much connectivity will only distract, but I’ve personally witnessed the benefits of greater peer support.

    Forms and landing pages can help your customers go from the start of the buyer’s journey to the end. However, these assets have to be well designed if you want a high conversion rate. Tools like JotForm allow you to create these assets in line with your brand’s design principles.

    One of our favorite ways of welcoming a new hire at my company is by sending them a personalized onboarding kit. While a package full of goodies won’t necessarily ensure a successful working relationship, it creates a positive first impression that allows new team members to feel motivated in working with us.

    Jotform selected Stripe Checkout as a preferred payment integration to offer its users. With Checkout, Jotform users could access 20+ local payment methods on web and mobile with a single integration, automatically ordered and filtered according to the customer’s device and location for a seamless user experience.

    Jotform is a no-code form builder that allows organizations to customize their form’s entry fields as well as its design. There are pre-built templates available, or businesses can start from scratch. The forms can also collect online payments, use conditional logic, and automate workflows to improve operational efficiency.

  • image - 127

    Jotform is focused on letting you incorporate its forms into automation workflows by integrating with a variety of tools, including Zapier. Jotform offers a range of plans, including Starter, Bronze , Silver, Gold, and Enterprise.

    Jotform is a web-based platform that allows users to create custom forms and surveys. It is a useful tool for creating wedding RSVPs, guest lists, and surveys. Jotform offers a wide range of features, including the ability to add custom logos, change the color scheme, and embed the form on a website or blog.

    As you start to revise your registration form and the overall registration process, it’s the perfect time to focus on going paperless. Paperless solutions are not only convenient, they can help prevent data entry errors and save your staff time.

  • image - 130

    At Jotform, we recently unveiled our first new brand in over a decade. It’s been an exciting time watching our company grow without any outside funding to 10 million users. I relay this news not to brag, but to reassure you that all of this didn’t come about without its challenges.

  • image - 131

    JotForm is incredibly flexible (offering conditional logic, direct integrations with lots of things, pre-filling, etc.) as well as CSS control of look-and-feel. I even use it internally when I’m gathering structured data like information that eventually goes into Airtable or ClickUp.

  • image - 132

    At Jotform, we have hack weeks, which allow our product teams five uninterrupted days to plug away at a single problem or project. These weeks have not only resulted in some of our most important innovations, they’re also a great way to collaborate and think about things in a new way.

  • image - 133

    Our Jotform integration helps you refine your personalization to improve email engagement. How? Jotform helps you gather important information about your customers. The data is then automatically added to the Benchmark Email list to build more complete customer profiles.

    I’ve been CEO to my form-builder company for more than 15 years, and during this time we’ve had many ups and downs (though probably nothing quite as disrupting as this ongoing pandemic crisis), and it’s taught my team a thing or two about finding ways to be happy amid upheaval.

  • image - 135

    Apps are critical to business strategy these days, and with the availability of no-code solutions, there’s no reason not to have one up and running for your business.

  • image - 136

    Jotform Apps is a new set of app tools from the company you may know for form-building tools. The free no-code app builder lets you add forms, links, widgets, and branding to one fully customized app that can be downloaded onto any smartphone, tablet, or computer.

  • image - 137

    As CEO of Jotform, being self-aware helps me make better decisions for our company, and more importantly, our 10 million users. It doesn’t always come naturally — instead, it takes an active effort and coordination with my team.

  • image - 138

    Jotform announced Jotform Enterprise Mobile, which will allow users to publish white-labeled iOS and Android apps to the respective app stores. It aims to provide easy access to a Jotform Enterprise account from a mobile device.

    Committing to unplugging for a specific time every day is one of the essential lessons I’ve learned as a leader for finding better balance and warding off the harmful effects of burnout.

  • image - 140

    At Jotform, there’s a guiding principle I strive to live by: trust. I trust that my employees are competent and showing up — and it’s that faith in their abilities that helps reinforce their own self-belief.

  • image - 141

    At my company, we end the week with regular Demo Days each Friday. Groups present a prototype they’ve been working on. And whether outlandish or buggy—they are never critiqued with harshness. In fact, because of this, we find teams enjoy some friendly competition.

  • image - 142

    At my company, Jotform, doing our best to achieve a growth mindset has helped us to navigate the pandemic and lean into experimentation and adjustment during rapidly evolving circumstances.

  • image - 143

    At my form-building company, it’s important for me to encourage my staff to speak up about their ideas and opinions, both when everyone is meeting face to face and over video conference.

  • image - 144

    At Jotform, a B2B SaaS app, team leads are in charge of creating the 30-60-90 day plans, but new employees are encouraged to take an active role in building their plans, especially after the 30 day mark.

    When I started Jotform in 2006, there was one single employee: Me. Being a bootstrapped founder, growth came slowly and deliberately; up until 2014, I didn’t make more than a few new hires each year. But in 2015, we moved our operations into a new, bigger office.

  • image - 147

    As CEO of Jotform for 16 years and counting, I can vouch that the early days were stressful, but those early stage worries were merely replaced by others as the team grew and the company expanded.

  • image - 148

    When I started Jotform, I thought it would be good to make the product completely free so there was a low barrier of entry for people to use it, and so it would create brand loyalty.

  • image - 149

    Jotform’s app builder lets you create a fully customized mobile application for your company that can be downloaded onto any smartphone, tablet or computer.

  • image - 150

    At my company, we haven’t established shorter days. But we do have a policy of flexible hours. This means we measure productivity over hours clocked.

  • image - 151

    Since launching my company back in 2006, we’ve added hundreds of staff, opened three offices on two continents and built a product with 10 million users. I mention all of this because I’ve learned a thing or two when it comes to evaluating people.

  • image - 152

    Jotform is utilized by many of my clients because, they make it very easy to create mobile forms that use conditional logic and accept payments and generate reports and automate workflows.

  • image - 153

    The new Jotform look features clean updates to our logo, tagline and interface; changes that reflect the ease, usability and personality of what the company is now while staying true to its roots.

  • image - 154

    Jotform wouldn’t be the company it is today if we hadn’t placed value in failure from the very beginning and even to this day. To give an example: We worked arduously on an idea for three years — testing and failing and re-testing — which eventually turned into our tool Jotform Tables.

    To combat remote work environments, Asana Flow helps manage start to finish workflows with employees working from their homes. Asana Flow’s template library includes access to apps such as AppLovin, ClassPass and Stride. They are in the process of collaborating with other workflow apps such as Miro, Jotform, and Google Drive.

  • image - 156

    As CEO of my company Jotform for nearly 16 years and counting, one of the most common questions I get from early-stage founders is: When do I make my first hire? The answer: when you’re on the verge of scaling your company — even if it doesn’t necessarily feel like the right time to hire.

  • image - 157

    Jotform tested new logos with the UserTesting Contributor Network, evaluating four logos over more than 50 sessions with contributors in their most popular regions: the US, the UK, and Australia. Based on the feedback they received, Jotform created a modern and fresh take on their original pencil logo.

  • image - 158

    With the introduction of App Components, Asana will directly integrate Miro and Jotform into the Asana UI, and coming soon, Google Drive. Then, in the coming months, Asana will expand App Components to customers and partners.

    Jotform Enterprise is a digital workplace productivity tool that’s part of our suite of offerings. While we make an effort to ensure that Enterprise is clearly accessible on the Jotform site, our customers have typically come to us — they’re on Jotform’s page already, they see one of the Enterprise banners and click through. If they’re interested, they contact our sales team to learn more.

  • image - 160

    Jotform serves as a replacement for the endless amounts of paperwork without effective management. Its Form Builder is easy-to-use and customizable to fit any industry needs.

  • image - 161

    Jotform is utilized by many of my clients for an easy way to create mobile forms that use conditional logic, accept payments, generate reports, and automate workflows.

  • image - 162

    At Jotform, we have a variety of eCommerce users and offer over 30 payment processors for them to simply collect payments through our online forms product. But in the future, having multiple payment processors as well as other payment options like crypto or voice-activated transactions will also be essential.

  • image - 163

    Given how many people use our forms, it would make sense that much of our operations would be dedicated to improving them. But until recently, we haven’t actually paid as much attention to our forms. Instead, we were concentrating on evolving our form builder and creating useful tools like our PDF editor and workflow builder.

  • image - 164

    I’ve long been an advocate for work/life balance. For example, I don’t believe in answering emails on weekends or late into the night. For me, taking time off to do absolutely nothing is just as vital as the hours we clock in.

  • image - 165

    Jotform Tables functions much like many of the other entries on this list. You can use it to create and edit spreadsheets with a wide variety of information. You can choose to organize information into different views, with different filters, with graphs and formulae, all while collaborating with others. Where Jotform is different is how it lets you integrate with the rest of the Jotform ecosystem.

  • image - 166

    I was initially accepting people’s submissions through Instagram and would have them send me screenshots of their relevant conversations. But it got to a point where I was getting so many that it just wasn’t manageable so I finally set up something through Jotform that allows me to more easily go through them and pick the one I want to make into a video.

  • image - 167

    Something I’ve learned while growing my company over the last 15 years is that feedback isn’t effective when it inflates — or bruises — someone’s ego. Just as my supervisor went through a list of all my shortcomings all those years ago, the culture I’m striving to create with my business is the exact opposite of this.

  • image - 168

    As CEO of my company Jotform, the past couple of years have been exceptionally challenging. But during these difficult times, I believe that positive thinking is more critical than ever. Luckily, it’s possible to control the narrative in our heads—not necessarily to stop it, but to reign it in when it becomes too pessimistic.

  • image - 169

    Our friends at Jotform offer employee forms as well. Some of the forms they offer include ones related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as well as performance reviews and exit interviews. JotForm also allows you the flexibility to edit their forms to create something that fits with your organization’s needs.

  • image - 170

    Founded in 2006 and still bootstrapped 16 years later, Jotform has grown into a profitable, well-known SaaS brand. In 2022, Jotform’s 14 million users achieved 1 billion total form submissions from 22 million forms. In addition, the company has maintained 50 percent year-over-year revenue growth for seven consecutive years now.

  • image - 171

    The word “passive” gets a bad rap. But I’m not referring to becoming a conformist who lacks initiative. What I am advocating for, however, is embracing quiet reflection and moments of doing absolutely nothing.

  • image - 172

    In my early days of building Jotform, I’d often joke that I needed a clone. But what I’ve learned since is that it’s not more “fuel” we need — it’s to stop seeking more energy in order to hit peak productivity.

  • image - 173

    The next time you plan to share data, consider putting it into a digestible and understandable explanatory visualization format. You’ll improve your chances of educating your audience while helping others see why the data matters and what it means — rather than just a bunch of numbers.

  • image - 174

    Even spending 10 minutes of your day assisting someone with a difficult project can give you the inspiration you need for your own workload. I’ve witnessed this firsthand at my own company, where teams go out of their way to be supportive to one another.

  • image - 175

    Since launching my company Jotform 15 years ago, I’ve had to learn how to manage the inherent stress and uncertainty of being an entrepreneur, especially in a market with daunting competitors like Google. The pandemic forced me to confront those hard-earned lessons all over again and to figure out how to continue growing despite the uncertainty.

  • image - 176

    Telecommuting can’t successfully exist without a clearly defined policy in place. This is true whether you’re allowing employees to work from home, work remotely, or embrace a hybrid work model that merges the two.

  • image - 177

    Jotform used drag-and-drop technology before it was a thing. That was our angle, and I applied it to pitch news sites, write blog posts and develop PR plans. Consider what people care about most, and emphasize how your startup supports their busy lives.

  • image - 178

    Jotform’s drag-and-drop form builder allows you and your HR team to create intuitive forms within a couple of minutes (without technical know-how or endless cursing at your computer screen). And, with the Power-Up, you can build, share, and use your forms without leaving your Trello card.

  • image - 179

    Jotform includes a wide collection of free and paid PDF templates for proposals in all kinds of industries, for all kinds of projects. Templates are converted into PDFs for easy printing, and even include a digital signature feature that allows your clients to sign your agreement digitally.

    Jotform, a full featured and free no-code survey tool, integrates with AWeber and offers a number of helpful, post-purchase survey templates, user experience surveys, and more.

  • image - 181

    Jotform Apps is a no-code drag and drop app builder that enables anyone to create an app with ease. It provides responsive design that is compatible with iOS, Android, and Windows. While Jotform Apps can be used in all aspects of the business – regardless of your industry or company size – it can also be as a simple way for organizations to create employee portals.

  • image - 182

    Each month, I meet up with the founder of a successful task management app to discuss our approaches to running our businesses. Our management styles are pretty dissimilar: For one thing, his workforce is 100 percent remote, and he’s executed it in a very different way than I have with my team at Jotform.

  • image - 183

    Virtual learning removes the traditional restrictions of the classroom, even without a pandemic shuttering the doors. COVID-19 sent educators scrambling to find new methods for how to engage students when both teachers and students were working from home.

  • image - 184

    Any entrepreneur or small business owner will tell you that running a business is a lot of work, which is why most of them bristle at the idea that they start a nonprofit. But starting a nonprofit can do more than just provide a way to use your talents for the good of humanity. It can do wonders for your business, too.

  • image - 185

    A dedicated social media hire can solve this problem and help organizations grow platforms, keep tabs on social analytics, be part of industry-specific conversations, experiment with new platforms and trends, and more — all of which contributes to a stronger brand and more leads for your company. We've done it at Jotform, and it's worth it.

  • image - 186

    At my company, Jotform, we start new hires off with “Box A” projects, like fixing minor bugs, while they get the hang of things. That said, most of us should avoid sinking too much time on Box A.

  • image - 187

    Making progress is all about reaching strategic milestones. But when you’re doing something as overwhelming as running a business, it can be easy to get pulled in too many different directions, which keeps you from feeling like you’re getting anything done.

  • image - 188

    The most critical thing to remember about developing a customized e-commerce site is that every decision will be up to your team. That could be either an exciting challenge or a time-consuming roadblock. If it's the latter, consider using a different platform for online selling: social media.

  • image - 189

    Nonprofits of any size can easily and affordably implement these digital tools, and some online form platforms even offer nonprofits a special discount rate for higher-volume usage. Once you’ve integrated your online donation processes, you’ll also be able to generate reports that can give you more insight into your donor base.

  • image - 190

    For a web design business, you need the goals or budget for the site. Check out this Jotform template for additional ideas. With a CRM and sales and marketing software that’s integrated with landing pages and forms (like Keap), you can build an intake form directly in the same app.

  • image - 191

    I’ve been CEO of my company, Jotform, for over 15 years. We’ve grown from a small team to more than 300 employees, and never have I understood this need to lead with empathy more than the current moment we’re living.

  • image - 192

    The company offers forms for collecting feedback and other tasks, integrating conditional logical, report generation and workflow automation – as well as a host of integrations with third-party apps and payment processors. Its suite of SaaS products includes a solution for building forms, as well as Tables, Mobile Forms, PDF Editor and Approvals.

    Data fluency is the key to thriving in a global economy, but too many companies today are far from data fluent. More than one-third of companies haven’t fully exploited the data in their arsenal, and fewer than half say they might put together a plan to use data analysis tools.

  • image - 194

    Leading online forms SaaS solution company Jotform released details this past week that it now has a no-code app builder that anybody can use. The new platform—called Jotform Apps—will allow users to create portals for internal teams, bundle forms, build apps for businesses, among many other things.

  • image - 195

    Determining how to track productivity can be difficult. There are a few critical flaws in the time-tracking approach. One of the biggest is a fundamental misunderstanding of productivity. Plenty of people equate productivity with efficiency, but they’re not the same thing. Productivity is output quantified, such as the number of widgets sold per week; efficiency involves streamlining systems and processes.

  • image - 196

    Hiring developers is not cheap. They are some of the highest-paid employees at your company, so you should save them for the big stuff. Plus, if you use a free no-code app builder, such as Jotform Apps, you won’t have to pay a dime for the apps your department needs.

  • image - 197

    Being a transparent leader means being open and honest with your team. It means keeping employees informed and welcoming their feedback. Your ability to listen during stressful moments and reflect on what’s been said will go a long way toward cultivating trust.

  • image - 198

    Our company, Jotform, has been ramping up our video efforts on YouTube. We have over 16,000 subscribers and have seen a huge increase in site traffic and signups from investing in video on this platform. Like many other B2B and B2C companies, we’re going full force with video and expect to ramp it up even further in 2022.

  • image - 199

    Jotform has been a key player in online forms for years. The system boasts several tools to improve your form building experience. Its highly customizable form designer places a priority on aesthetics, and the form analytics tool gives you a detailed breakdown of responses.

  • image - 200

    Jotform Apps is a key tool in the no-code revolution. It allows users to build an app for a business, bundle forms, create portals for internal teams and more. In addition, users can instantly download a Jotform app onto any device without visiting an app store.

  • image - 201

    At Jotform, we’re lucky to have a low staff turnover with an annual churn rate of only 5%. This is key because I believe a calm, warm, non-threatening environment is massively important for both productivity and longevity — for new and old hires alike.

  • image - 202

    As someone with very little coding expertise, I love when I come across tools that give you the opportunity to build something special with extra support. So if you’ve ever thought about making an app for your classroom, school, or district, Jotform Apps has you covered.

    Jotform integrates with a number of different payment gateways from around the world, including PayFast which caters for South African businesses of all sizes wanting to receive payments online.

  • image - 204

    At my company, we give regular surveys to gain feedback on how people feel about their workloads and our culture’s work/life balance. Are we being flexible where it matters? Are we giving employees autonomy over their jobs—and acknowledging good work? These are questions that will help you determine what’s causing the most stress for your team and take steps to ward off burnout before it takes root.

  • image - 205

    The good news is that free and low-cost digital forms are available online. Hospitality businesses like hotels, restaurants, etc., can deploy digital forms quickly and easily — no coding skills required.

  • image - 206

    Ideal for businesses of all sizes, JotForm helps companies create survey forms without any knowledge of CSS, JavaScript or other programming languages – though if they do, there’s plenty of scope for diving into the code and tweaking designs.

  • image - 207

    Jotform is one of the most popular online form builders, used by everyone from beginners to advanced users. Though it comes with a simple interface and a drag-and-drop builder, there are some lesser-known features that can improve your forms.

    At my company, Jotform, we recently rebranded for the first time in over a decade. It required a considerable effort from the entire team but in the end, it was well worth it. Whether you’re considering a light refresh or a total brand overhaul, here are some tips to keep in mind.

  • image - 209

    While I am fully on board for planning for what the future holds, I believe all of this energy is better spent on the present. By taking things one step at a time and focusing on what they can improve right now, leaders will be better equipped to navigate an ever-changing landscape.

  • image - 210

    But one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in building my business over the past 15 years has been straying far from “productivity culture.” For me, being busy is not synonymous with success

  • image - 211

    Jotform’s rebranding reflects the company’s evolution but also its dedication to its root cause: to provide users with quality, powerful forms. Jotform may have changed its logo and branding, but this is evidence of the company’s growth and success.

  • image - 212

    After 15 years and 10 million users, Jotform has decided to rebrand itself. They changed their logo, tagline, and product visuals. Doing this has improved the way users perceive their brand. Their new image exudes a more modern, friendly, and professional vibe.

  • image - 213

    For many of us in the startup world, it’s tempting to want to rush to do several things at once. But building a company doesn’t mean taking on a dozen different projects out of the gate — it means focusing on doing one thing well. That’s the philosophy I used to build my company, Jotform.

  • image - 214

    Branding that reflects the old lineup of products or services should be refreshed to more accurately represent current offerings. This was certainly the case for us at Jotform. We launched in 2006 as an online form builder. However, 15 years and 10 million users later, our product has evolved and expanded, and so have our customers’ perceptions.

  • image - 215

    Jotform's social media calendar isn't just visually appealing, it's also functional. The tabs at the top reveal your social plan for every channel you execute your strategy on, including in-person or virtual events.

    Educators will have to focus on the advantages of the virtual classroom system, ways to improve virtual learning as a whole, and the quality of online education. By learning to engage virtual students in digital classrooms, educators will be able to build relationships with and teach students well–no matter what the world looks like as the rest of 2021 rolls on.

  • image - 217

    Jotform’s analysis found that the three most popular mobile form types are report forms (22%), consent and acknowledgement forms (20.8%), and registration forms (17.7%). Other commonly used forms include application forms, appointment and order forms, and survey forms.

  • image - 218

    Jotform rebranded with this vision: “Powerful forms get it done.” Jotform has always positioned itself as the “Easiest Online Form Builder,” but today it’s much more than that. Its updated tagline and brand are a reflection of its growth as a company.

  • image - 219

    Jotform, the leading online forms SaaS solution, has announced a huge milestone — it embarked on its 15th year in business, crossed 10 million users worldwide and refreshed its brand, the biggest change to the company’s image since 2006.

  • image - 220

    My company, JotForm, has more than 300 employees and over 10 million users. Growing it to the size it is today would not have happened had I never learned to work with my own rhythms — and allowed my employees to do the same.

  • image - 221

    Jotform is an excellent alternative to Google Forms and Microsoft Forms because it offers capabilities that Google Forms and Microsoft Forms don't offer. For example, without the need for a third-party addon you can set limits on the number of times a response choice can be chosen

  • image - 222

    When customers click on a form that prefills with their data, the company sends a signal that they value their customers and their customers’ time. Filling out the form is a less time-consuming task, so customers are more likely to follow through.

  • image - 223

    As CEO of my company, JotForm, this past year has certainly been challenging. With over 300 employees and 9.1 million users, I’ve had to reevaluate the normal way of doing things and figure out how to prioritize competing business and family obligations. But as I’ve found, not sacrificing my personal life is the key to doing great work at the office.

  • image - 224

    For over a decade, JotForm has allowed millions of people to make their own myriad kinds of web forms using our no-code products. In doing so, we’ve witnessed firsthand how giving our users countless customizable options has encouraged their creativity and innovation.

    With JotForm Approvals, it’s easy to create approval workflows for your content marketing processes. Whether you’re writing blog posts, publishing case studies, recording videos, or simply posting to social media, there’s a good chance that at least a few of these marketing assets will need to be reviewed by several people.

  • image - 226

    Knowing when you work best — your “peak hours” — is one of the most effective ways to supercharge your productivity. I discovered my natural rhythms through lots of trial and error. But learning when I work best and leveraging that time is what has allowed me to grow my business, JotForm, into the company it is today.

  • image - 227

    My business, JotForm, has grown slowly by design. This has allowed me incredible freedom — my business is mine to run as I choose, no investor satisfaction required. It’s also allowed me to have a rich personal life outside of work, with time to spend with my family and even take a few months off each year.

    You can fully automate data collection and task creation by using JotForm and Asana integration. Asana tracks and manages JotForm responses automatically by creating automated tasks.

    When leaders exclude certain workers, they create an atmosphere that is inhospitable to anyone who doesn’t follow “the rules” of your workplace. All the more reason to make sure you’re spending a balanced amount of time with all your employees.

    We ask questions all the time. When is the presentation? Did you get my notes from the meeting? These are straightforward, fact-finding questions, and they get straight-forward, fact-based answers. (It’s at 3. Yes.) It shouldn’t be surprising that my company, JotForm, sees more than two million user questions per hour.

  • image - 231

    At my internet company, we’ve created policies that prioritize mental well-being and we also communicate these regularly. What this looks like for us is doing what we can to remove stress by setting realistic expectations about workloads, and also recognizing what can slide if necessary.

    In the healthcare sector collecting data via a mobile device has become increasingly important during the pandemic, with the need for touchless forms and data collection through QR codes. Offline data collection has become just as critical for COVID-19 testing and vaccination sites as well as in-person doctor visits both in urban and rural areas.

    As CEO of my company JotForm, I make recharging a pinnacle of my workday, and I encourage our employees to follow suit. But one size doesn’t fit all. What works for me or what works for Angelou might not fit your style. Here and four things to keep in mind when figuring out your rest routine.

    Beyond that, boredom can also help foster creativity. On more than one occasion, I’ve come up with ideas for my company, JotForm, while resisting the urge to look at my phone and letting my mind wander instead.

    Companies that use their workflow management software innovatively are in a position to identify further opportunities for workflow automation. Because workflow automation handles certain tasks without human intervention, it frees up workers and reduces the chance of error.

    According to JotForm’s data, collected from May 2020 to May 2021, more than six million people throughout the United States submitted a screening form. One notable point highlights that New York had the most COVID-19 screening submissions while South Dakota had the least.

    I’d say the biggest mistake is not customizing the pitch. It seems simple enough, but so many communications professionals take the shortcut of just copying and pasting the same pitch to every media outlet to save time, and reporters can sense that. All it takes is five minutes to learn about a reporter’s writing and background, so reference that and modify your pitch to match their interests precisely.

    Creating a weekly check-in form that allows your staff to sum up how the week went, anything they're unsure about, or what they think could be improved is a great help to camp directors. There are some great camp management forms that can be used throughout the training process and beyond.

    With an approval workflow, there shouldn’t be any questions about who is responsible for giving approval, when to expect a decision and what the next steps are in the process. It’s all about creating order in a sequence of actions that could easily become disorderly without a framework.

  • image - 254

    At my company, JotForm, I’ve witnessed countless instances of my team taking this principle to heart. They’ve been thoughtful of each other during meetings, have reached out to one another during a particularly challenging week, and noted colleague’s strengths during our Demo Days.

    Using a survey platform allows you to automate aspects of the process and gather data efficiently. It also helps make the process more manageable. For example, most survey platforms allow you to export results into a PDF. You can then use a free PDF editor to emphasize specific findings and share the results with key stakeholders.

Use cases include doing market research, collecting demographic information, getting group project feedback, checking in on student stress levels and more.

    The rest of the time, though, I felt like I’d been thrown in the deep end without a flotation device. I was doing marketing, operations, finances and even some ad hoc design work, none of which I’d ever done before but was now my responsibility. Even though JotForm has grown into a bona fide tech company, at the beginning, it was just me on a laptop trying to figure stuff out.

  • image - 260

    It’s crucial for managers and mid-level leaders to create an environment of openness and honesty. For example, at my technology company, we make it a point to let employees know from the start what’s expected of them, in terms of both formal and informal communication. Setting these ground rules in advance helps equalize the playing field — whether we’re sharing physical space or not.

  • image - 261

    These are low-risk tasks with an equally low payoff, but that doesn’t mean they’re useless. For example, when a developer joins our company and starts JotForm bootcamp, we ask them to tackle minor software bugs. New hires need to get up to speed before making critical product changes, so these low-pressure, low-stress tasks can be a great way to learn.

    JotForm gets the top spot for the minimalist bride and groom who want a solid all-in-one solution. First, it’s a great way to capture RSVPs, dinner choices, addresses, and even song requests. Just choose from one of the 120+ wedding-related templates, either for collecting info yourself or to share with your vendors or wedding planner.

  • image - 263

    When I first launched JotForm, I was responsible for every aspect of my company, from engineering to marketing. It was a humbling learning experience, and it helped inform what I was looking for when it came time to hire a team and delegate the tasks that frankly, I didn’t excel at.

  • image - 264

    When it comes to mid-level hires, what I’d like to highlight is the importance of hiring along with your values. Since growing my company from a solo venture into a firm with millions of users worldwide, I’ve learned a lot about the hiring process. Regardless of experience, what takes priority is to always choose positive, collaborative people.

    JotForm is a user-friendly and convenient tool that turns form responses, invoices, and contracts to professional and secure PDF documents. By using it, users can share their documents without being concerned about manually turning them to PDF.

    It took five years for me to quit my job and pursue JotForm full-time, but in the meantime, I strengthened both my skills, and my belief that I could found a successful business. Believing in yourself and assuming success will follow is not the right approach. Instead, believe in yourself because you’ve proven over time what you’re capable of.

  • image - 267

    JotForm, at its core, is an online form builder, but we’ve come to see it as something more. The entire tool is no-code, meaning you don’t know anything about coding to utilize the tool fully. It allows users to create, share, and manage forms and anything that comes with the process. We found it extremely easy to use. It basically took around 5 minutes to get an online form up and running.

    Dubbed the low-code or no-code movement, the effort includes startups like Zapier, which helps companies connect applications into a single automated process, to Jotform, which helps companies create surveys to collect data from customers. The products rely on simple software building blocks that can be dragged and dropped into place by untrained workers to build complicated applications.

    The Bear River Health Department, which serves Box Elder, Cache and Rich counties, test-drove the system in-house and decided against transitioning from the JotForm program it already had in place. "In the end, we wanted to keep it very simple for the public and create less barriers to get their vaccines,” Director Jordan Mathis said, noting that JotForm was “super easy for the public on the front end.”

    Countless survey tools make it easy to build and administer a survey. Look for tools that allow you to customize the look of the survey with your brand’s colors and logos. You should also be able to customize the different fields within the survey: multiple-choice, drop-down, short answer, star-rating, etc. Back-end features that help you analyze and report on survey data are helpful, too.

    Over the course of running my company, my team prioritized sane, steady growth and avoided set teeth-gnashing deadlines. I’ve always tried to unplug during evenings and weekends, and our leadership encourages our 300 employees to do the same.

  • image - 274

    I give my employees at JotForm plenty of space to grow their most important ideas. We don’t have deadlines because I want ideas to flourish freely, and worrying about a looming deadline doesn’t do much to inspire creativity.

    Once someone completes the approval form, the submission triggers the approval workflow you created. JotForm Approvals makes it easy to track and manage the process, and the automated tasks prevent staff from spending time sorting requests, following up on missing information, and so on.

    When we were working on our latest product, JotForm Tables, it was important for me to convey from the start that I wanted our focus to remain on quality versus speed. We ended up spending three years developing this tool with that vision in mind. Why? Because, rather than adopting a “just ship it” mentality, my end goal since the beginning was to create an enduring company that delivers real value to our customers.

    One way to better understand guests’ concerns and cleaning preferences — while sending a subtle message that you’ve got this covered — is to survey customers online. You don’t have to create a survey from scratch; there are free and low-cost form options that make putting an online survey together quick and painless, even without technical expertise.

  • image - 280

    Ever since I founded JotForm, I’ve tried to prioritize a team focus. One reason is practical: I can’t do it all alone. The other reason is more strategic – I’m a firm believer that at the end of the day, a business isn’t its product or its leader. It’s a culmination of its people.

    Approvals allows users to drag-and-drop elements in order for teams to more efficiently add emails, approvers, and perform other tasks.

    JotForm, a leading online form software provider, announced Approvals, a no-code tool designed to empower teams to automate approval processes and streamline workflows with ease.

    The first step in maintaining company culture is creating a solid foundation. For example, at my company, JotForm, it’s been one of my missions to dismantle the “always-on” mindset so inherent in the tech world.

  • image - 285

    Approvals comes at a time when most of the world’s workforce needs simple, affordable tools that save time and allow them to work from anywhere. With the Approvals drag-and-drop interface, teams can easily add approvers, emails, conditional branches and other elements to an approval process.

    JotForm Approvals has a drag-and-drop interface so educators can customize any type of form that requires their approval. You can add customizations to the form approval process. This can include: the conditions needed for approvers, what follow-up emails are sent out, and other elements of the approval process.

  • image - 287

    JotForm Approvals is a quick, customizable way to automate the rote responses in a form. It enables you to specify what actions follow once a form is received like alerting involved parties, forwarding the form when required, and notifying respondees of results.

    JotForm has all the HR/employment forms you would expect: employment applications, employee referral forms, performance reviews, exit interviews, etc. They even have Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and COVID related forms like medical information forms, HIPAA authorizations and privacy notices, COVID self-screening questionnaires, etc.

    Hand-writing has several useful benefits. For one, research suggests that the act of putting pen to paper helps you retain information, which can help us more effectively organize our thoughts and goals. I started JotForm to make easy-to-use online forms, but even I appreciate the simplicity of writing some things out by hand.

  • image - 290

    Or, take spreadsheets — almost every entrepreneur uses them daily. You had to use another software to share the kind of data that doesn’t fit into neat columns. That’s why my team spent three years developing JotForm Tables — to collect all different types of info collected from online forms and organize them in one workspace.

    Instead of using paper forms to gather employee feedback, distribute electronic forms via e-mail or apps for quicker responses. This approach helps streamline the process and keeps all information in one place.

    My company doesn’t set hard deadlines; we urge staff to protect their downtime, and we encourage regular vacations. But after a difficult year of grief and loss, I’m trying to redefine productivity—and I invite you to do the same. Here are three simple tactics I’m using to support this shift.

    There are many software platforms that can help ensure you’ve submitted your responses, made appropriate follow-ups, and received links to the published pieces. JotForm’s PR Tracker is designed to record and monitor the important details of your PR leads, so you don’t overlook any tasks and can follow each lead.

    If you’re looking for a multipurpose tool to use throughout the wedding planning process, JotForm is a good cloud-based option to try. JotForm Tables has a convenient wedding planner template that can help you keep track of expenses, vendor contact info, your guest list, and more.

    When I started JotForm 15 years ago, I imagined an easier way to build web forms. And over time, we realized that our purpose is to make people and organizations more productive. That’s it. We’re not brokering peace or launching space missions, but I love what we do.

    After 15 years in business, JotForm has well-defined edges and much of the puzzle has taken shape. However, we’re still building it out. That process never ends — and even if we did fill in all the pieces, we’d simply expand the puzzle.

    Beginning the day with stream-of-consciousness writing has been a game changer for my business. Every morning, I open a blank page, start writing, and I don’t stop until I’ve filled three pages or 30 minutes have elapsed; no editing or deleting allowed. After a few minutes, I’m usually exploring something worthwhile. Maybe it’s a product idea or a process we could streamline.

    You won’t know if you don’t try. But I don’t mean trying once, failing, and giving up. Because you will fail. Everyone does. The key is to keep trying.

    Burnout is 100 percent preventable, and establishing firm boundaries to protect your employees is one of the best ways to do it. At my company, JotForm, we delete Slack from our phones when we take time off for vacations and holidays. It’s a simple way to ensure work doesn’t creep into the time we’re supposed to be using to restore ourselves.

    At JotForm, our managers schedule frequent one-on-ones with their teams to make sure they're feeling good about work, and if not, working together to find a solution. This helps our employees feel appreciated and valued.

    JotForm is an online application that allows you to create custom online forms. Its incredibly intuitive user interface allows you to drag-and-drop the building blocks of the form you need. JotForm provides you with the tools to improve the experience of your donors and volunteers with signups, registrations, and surveys.

    As patients complete their forms, the submissions automatically appear in the practice’s JotForm Tables database. There’s no data input to worry about, which reduces the chance for human error. Staff can share the tables with coworkers, so a nurse can access a patient’s intake information for a streamlined patient care process.

  • image - 303

    This notion of balance doesn’t just apply to your life as a whole, but your day-to-day. Take me for example. My days at the JotForm office aren’t usually very long, but I do try to make the time I’m there count.

    In a virtual world, it’s important to focus on omnichannel experiences for consumers; if one channel no longer exists (e.g., live events), you can still reach your audience in meaningful and engaging ways. Event teams have worked more closely with other parts of the business—including digital, social media, and public relations teams—to craft virtual experiences that resonate with consumers while keeping business goals in mind.

    Educators can distribute quizzes, course evaluations, and registration forms for activities or classes using online templates. Teachers and/or administrators can also use online surveys to get critical information about student needs and resources, which can help them design and manage the program to ensure it meets the needs of all students.

    Using a survey maker like JotForm can accelerate the process and help you gather priceless, unadulterated feedback on items such as functionality and design, accessibility, content, and more.

    Supporting employee wellness is not always easy. Between lockdowns, reshuffled family responsibilities, and ever-changing health news, our pre-COVID-19 strategies aren’t necessarily effective right now. Our current work days may not be “normal,” but we can adapt and apply new techniques to help our teams through the good times and the bad.

    As leaders, it’s important to create space for conversations that allow colleagues to talk about how they’re feeling. At my company, JotForm, I’ve been open with my employees about the ways in which I’ve struggled to cope with the pandemic. This culture of openness allows conversations that can facilitate connection, and let everyone know that they’re not alone.

    Where people had previously come into a site, gone in, and sat down with the preparer and had their returns done in person, we were no longer able to do that. We saw our programs and our partners across the country using things like Zoom, Google Meet, JotForm, as well as texting and email to communicate with the filers that they hadn't yet served for the filing season and then make an effort to try to get them in to get their returns completed and filed.

    Giving feedback takes practice, and a manager who shied away from it beforehand isn’t suddenly going to love it now. However, like many new habits, it can be practiced and improved over time. Feedback is so important, offering it intentionally and consistently is a skill necessary during a pandemic or otherwise.

    Part of my previous job at an internet media company was to create tools for editors to build forms, surveys and polls. The problem was that at the time, the form-building landscape offered few good options. I decided to change that, and my company, JotForm, was born.

    At JotForm, we work to collect customer feedback wherever we can, but one channel we really look to for candid feedback is Twitter. Typically on Twitter, people bluntly tell us what they like and don't like. It's important for us to get raw feedback like this to optimize and improve our products.

    At my company, I regularly hold virtual coffee breaks with team members to give them a chance to let me know how they’re doing, and also to reinforce how much I value their efforts. This doesn’t mean that an employee has to have knocked it out of the park five days per week; expressing appreciation for a solid job well done is just as important as celebrating a major win.

    When I started JotForm in 2006, I didn’t care about sales. As a developer, I was far more interested in product technology than cryptic acronyms like PQL and SAL. Eventually, I realized that without an enterprise sales team, we would continue to lose big customers. We hired some smart people, got the ball rolling, and now, this former blind spot is a lucrative revenue source.

    To encourage as little physical contact as possible, get rid of paper forms and other manual processes.

    Instead of relying on paper forms to gather information, find software applications that help you build online forms. These forms are easier to share, require less effort to sort, and won’t end up cast aside in the wrong place — and misplaced as a result.

    My own company weathered a series of highs and lows throughout 2020.

    I often talk about how my company, JotForm, is bootstrapped, and how I grew it slowly over the years to the more than 8 million users we have today.
