Greater Employee Engagement Whatever The Distance

Today’s workplaces are virtual. More employees are working from home. Remote teams are common for all business departments, especially following the COVID-19 crisis.

But remote working can make employees feel isolated. Surrounded by distractions, their productivity can fall. Business performance suffers. Communication is key to keeping remote teams connected.

Effective communication boosts employee engagement. It supports staff health and productivity. It enables success and reassures leadership.

  • Scheduling allows messages to be created in advance and sent to remote workers at the time when attendance or readership will be highest.
  • Message recurrence settings provide 100% cut-through of your essential communications, by repeating messages at specified intervals until remote workers take a particular action.
