Lark is a collaborative app that lets you access video calls, messaging, attendance, and more in one place. And the team behind it started a mentorship program that can give two of its mentees exclusive prizes to help with their businesses.

The pandemic has made quite a ripple in both small and big companies, making them shift online to stay connected and keep their businesses afloat. New applications and software have popped up, promising convenient alternatives for businesses to stay organised. There's an application for almost anything: video conferencing, messaging, attendance, and the like. But even then, things can get pretty confusing.

In a recent webinar series, a new tool has been introduced. And no, it's not just another application to add to your phone's already-full memory. In fact, it might possibly be the only application you'll ever need.

During the Lark Your Way To Success webinar series hosted by RJ Ledesma, Co-founder of Mercato Centrale, they showed how the Lark app could help any form of business to adapt to the ever-changing field and technology. Since every business has now become quite competitive, thriving in one online platform, it's important to be able to adapt quickly.

"[Businesses] need good technology," Vice President of Commercial Joey Lim says. Working in a new normal, businesses must also recalibrate their mindset. She said that businesses must build a stronger relationship with their colleagues and staff, rather than focusing on their market. She also insisted on exercising patience considering the longer transition occurring in the workplace.

Luckily, these things can easily be done with Lark, a collaborative suite. It houses your messages, chats, calendar, documents, and e-mails. So instead of having a packed home screen, you can keep one application — Lark — to access your everyday work tools.

If you dig deeper into Lark, you'll also find features that allow you to build workflow. "All you need to do is learning how to click, drag, and drop," Regional Lark Product Specialist, Andeed Ma, says.

The Lark collaborative suite is even convenient enough to approve applications, provide a helpdesk chatbox, and connect to other existing systems.

Head of Communications Cat Avelino further explained that Lark will give its registered attendees a chance to learn from their succeeding webinars. Two business mentees from Lark's mentorship program will be chosen to receive a PHP300,000 worth of PR support to promote their companies, a coaching session with one of Lark's speakers, one training session with the Lark team, and an additional 100 GB storage for their Lark account that is valid for one year.

But it's also having [the] know-how in terms of how to make sure that your marketing in an increasingly digital landscape," Cat said.

This goes to show that the collaborative suite, Lark, can help in a new work set-up where various businesses are now beginning to transition online. Whether they're doing it temporarily or for the long run, Lark can be the application they need to thrive.
