HRchat Podcast How SMS Can Grow Employee Engagement w/ Brandon Daniell, Dialog Health
Employee engagement is one of the biggest struggles when it comes to internal communications. While most of us lost the ability to meet in person since the outbreak, new corporate communications tech options have stepped into the void promising to offer ways to engage workers with key info and announcements without adding to their workload.
In this HRchat episode, we look at using text messaging to support employee engagement and program rollout efforts. Bill's guest is Brandon Daniell, President & Co-founder, Dialog Health Inc., a two-way texting platform that enables information to be pushed to and pulled from staff, managers, and HR departments.
