SAN FRANCISCO, June 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SocialChorus, a global workforce communications platform, today announced results from its 2018 Comms Effectiveness Survey, which highlights how companies with the right tools effectively capture and maintain employee attention and engagement. SocialChorus surveyed 840 end-users of the SocialChorus platform and analyzed activity across its global programs with data from more than 1.5 million employees worldwide, including engagement with mobile apps, emails and push notifications.
Large enterprises face ongoing challenges including brand reputation, employee retention and changing employee expectations for the work experience. Further, the increasing number of deskless and distributed workers require that organizations find a better way to connect with an increasingly dispersed workforce.
At the heart of these shifting dynamics is employee communications. SocialChorus’ new report, the “2018 Comms Effectiveness Survey,” asserts that as enterprises adjust to this new climate, modernizing their employee communication and engagement strategies is critical to maintaining organizational alignment. The findings highlight that employees expect a similar experience in their work lives as they do in their personal lives. They want news and company information that is concise, relevant, and easy to access and consume.
Key findings from the survey include:
“Our study underscores the shifts we are seeing in the employee experience and how organizations can no longer rely on a single tool or method to effectively reach and engage all employees,” said Sonia Fiorenza, vice president of communications and engagement strategies at SocialChorus. “Ultimately, organizations that thrive will not only be equipped with the right communications tools, but can also quickly adapt to changing employee needs and reach every employee, at the right time with the right message.”
