Reducing Email Overload
Internal Communications To Cut Through The Clutter
Email Overload Is A Real Waste Of Time
Corporate emails are yesterday’s news. They’ve become ineffective at engaging staff in today’s workplaces. The world has moved on.
Inboxes grow by the minute as staff are inundated by uninspiring messages, delivered in tired old formats. It’s only natural they have ‘message wear-out’.

Emails are too easy to miss for important notifications. They’re too hard to reference for busy staff. Their timing and delivery is too unpredictable for time-sensitive information. They’re too susceptible to breaches for cyber security.
Today, staff demand richer digital content that engages them in a more dynamic, visually-rich way.

Tools To Manage Email Overload In The Workplace
Email may be simple and relatively inexpensive, but when it comes to engagement it’s time to look at new tools and strategies. Meet the platform that’s revolutionizing internal comms: SnapComms.
Desktop Alerts offer fast, effective cut-through for important or time-sensitive messages staff can’t afford to miss. Video messages on the latest news releases reach every employee with Video Alerts.
Employee surveys and employee quiz tools bypass email to achieve high participation and response rates. These low-intrusion formats encourage two-way communication and foster positive employee relations.
Screensavers drive staff awareness by communicating visually without interrupting or adding to information overload. For example, sustainability messages, security policies, news and events, brand messages and more.
Digital internal newsletters consolidate various news snippets and content formats into a single dynamic newsletter. Videos, tickers and other rich media increase visual appeal, while hyperlinks drive use of your intranet.
