Communicating With Shift Workers
Shift Communications Into Top Gear


Shift workers are an integral part of many workplaces, but can often be overlooked. The nature of their roles mean that shift staff often feel like they lack information and opportunities.
They have less access to knowledgeable day-based staff members. They can also experience bottlenecks because decisions need to be run past management and other departments that only work during the day.

This can have a negative effect on shift worker productivity and lead to disengagement and isolation. To address these pain points before they escalate requires a different approach to internal communication. One that speaks to shift workers the way they want to hear.
Traditional ‘one size fits all’ communication channels like email don’t cut it for shift workers. The SnapComms platform offers cutting-edge communication guaranteed to get cut-through – wherever your shift workers are and whatever device they’re using.
Video alerts communicate engaging messages, send out staff training, record staff meetings and messages so shift staff can be involved.
Staff quizzes test shift worker knowledge and awareness, while staff surveys give shift workers a voice by collecting their feedback and opinions.
Screensavers display reminders or promotional messages on staff desktops in a highly-visible but non-intrusive way.
