Blink is an employee engagement app built specifically for frontline workers. It
brings employee engagement tools to every employee smartphone.

Frontline workers don’t need a desktop computer or even a company email address
to access the Blink app. Instead, a simple sign-on process gives them access to
an intuitive, user-friendly dashboard.

Here, they can view employee communications, respond to surveys, read policy
documents, and use the newsfeed to take part in the company conversation.

They can also use the Blink Hub to access the other workplace tools you use.
With a couple of clicks, they can view their current training module, their pay
stub, or their upcoming shifts.  

Managers get lots of useful engagement features too — like recognition and
survey tools. They can also use Blink’s workforce analytics to measure
engagement and make data-driven decisions.

All in all, the Blink employee app helps frontline teams to connect with each
other and with leadership. It ensures they have access to the people, comms, and

chosen by your company. Employees can also convert their reward points into

causes of stress, burnout, and anxiety. An easy-to-use feedback dashboard
segments results by team, location, department, tenure, and manager so it’s easy
to see where improvements need to be made.

6 ADVANTAGES OF AN EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT APP

The best employee engagement software meets employees where they are. These
days, that tends to be on their smartphones. And that’s why employee mobile apps
are an increasingly popular choice.

Apps are inherently engaging and very easy to use. In fact, 53% of frontline
workers already use messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger for
work-related conversations.

When you replace those apps with your own user-friendly employee app, you make
communication more secure — and make it a key part of company culture, too.

Here are six other advantages of mobile-first employee engagement tools:


1. AN EMPLOYEE APP REDUCES COSTS AND IMPROVES PROFITABILITY

Construction giant Caterpillar found increasing engagement helped save $8.8
million at one of its European factories in just one year. The company also
improved customer ratings and increased profits by $2 million.

Gallup research shows that Caterpillar’s cost savings aren’t an anomaly. They
looked at thousands of teams and found that highly engaged businesses
experience:

 * A 43% decrease in employee turnover
 * A 10% improvement in customer satisfaction
 * An 18% uptick in sales
 * A 23% increase in profitability

Employee engagement has a big impact on a company’s bottom line. So an employee
engagement app tends to have a high return on investment.


2. AN EMPLOYEE APP IMPROVES COMMUNICATION WITHOUT ADDING TO THE NOISE

An employee app streamlines company communication by putting everything in one,
searchable location.

A social-style news feed. Employee surveys. Messages from management. With an
app, teams know exactly where to go to get the information they need.

Managers also get the tools they need to highlight critical messages and ensure
employees read them.


3. YOU CONNECT EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR WORKFORCE — INCLUDING THOSE ON THE FRONTLINE

To make a success of employee engagement, you need to take every member of the
workforce with you. That includes those hard-to-reach employees working on the
frontline of your organization.

Deskless workers get the raw end of the deal in terms of engagement tech. Only
10% of frontline workers say they have high access to the tools, tech, and
opportunities they need to connect and advance in their workplace. 

But these workers are in greatest need of engagement intervention. Deskless
employees are less trusting and engaged, and more likely to experience burnout
than their desk-based peers.

An employee app ensures frontline workers aren’t excluded from company comms and
culture. You take engagement beyond the office and a desktop computer and put it
in the palm of every employee’s hand.

A good app is also easy and intuitive to use. It enjoys high rates of user
adoption. So by using an employee app, you make engagement tech more accessible
than ever to all employees.


4. YOU MAKE WORK MORE ENGAGING AND EFFICIENT

The best employee engagement apps put the most effective engagement tools in
one, single place. You give employees access to the things we know help to
improve employee engagement:

 * Training and development
 * Recognition
 * Two-way communication and collaboration
 * Feedback opportunities

You also remove friction and frustration from the work day. Because employees
can access all the comms, tools, and resources they need via your employee app,
they become more efficient and productive.

Employees can get on with doing their jobs to the best of their ability.
Managers save time thanks to improved communication channels and employee
self-serve resources. That translates into increased levels of staff
satisfaction.


5. EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT APPS SUPPORT FRONTLINE SAFETY

Employee engagement makes for better workplace safety and fewer workplace
accidents. According to Gallup, companies with high engagement experience 64%
fewer safety incidents than those with low levels of engagement.  

An employee app supports frontline safety because workers have all policy
documents and safety procedures at their fingertips. They also have a direct
line to managers, so it’s quick and easy to report safety or maintenance
concerns.


6. MANAGERS GET ACCESS TO DATA AND ANALYTICS

When employees engage with your organization via an employee app, managers get
access to valuable user data and analytics.

They get insight into how people are using the app and how they’re engaging with
company communications. They get to know what engagement looks like for
different teams, locations, and managers. Use an app with great integrations and
you get insight into how employees are using other workplace tools, too.

The best employee engagement apps present this data in a way that is easy to
understand and act upon. So your teams have everything they need to make
employee engagement improvements going forward.


DOES YOUR COMPANY NEED AN EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT APP? 3 KEY QUESTIONS

Staff engagement apps aren’t the best fit for every company. You can figure out
if your organization would benefit from this by answering the following
questions.


DO WE HAVE A COMMUNICATION CHANNEL THAT REACHES EVERYONE?

Effective internal communication is the foundation of engagement. So you need a
reliable communication channel for all employees, particularly when there’s a
time-sensitive update to share.

Email may not be a viable internal communication strategy if some workers don’t
have email addresses. Getting managers to make phone calls and send text
messages takes up a lot of time. Paper notices up on a board are easy to miss.

If you have a patchwork of different communication channels, an employee mobile
app is a great streamlining tool. It saves your comms team time — because they
have fewer comms channels to maintain. And it makes communication more
efficient, relevant, and reliable.


ARE EMPLOYEES TREATED EQUALLY?

Fairness is really important for employee engagement. If an employee feels like
someone else is getting preferential treatment, it’s unlikely they’ll bring
their A-game. So when it comes to opportunities for engagement, it has to be a
level playing field.

Use surveys to find out if frontline staff and office workers enjoy the same
level of engagement and the same access to company comms, culture, and
connection.

If some workers are feeling overlooked, an app can help you treat employees
equally. Ditching a two-tier engagement strategy means everyone feels valued and
like they belong.


DO WE NEED TO LIGHTEN THE LOAD FOR MANAGERS AND HR TEAMS?

When there isn’t an easy way to share company policies, resources, and comms,
managers and HR teams often end up acting as gatekeepers. Employees have to ask
for the information they need, which adds to the HR and management workload.

An employee app removes this bottleneck by allowing employees to access relevant
information for themselves. They can view their schedule and vacation time. They
can read the most recent safety policy and get details of the next company
social event.

HR and management spend less time answering the same questions. And employees —
with resources in the palm of their hands — feel more engaged with the
organization.


FINAL THOUGHTS: THE BEST EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT APPS

engagement strategy.  Whether you’re a small office with a few dozen employees

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT APPS FAQS


WHAT ARE STAFF APPS?

Staff apps are mobile apps that help employees with their work tasks. They may
include time tracking, scheduling, messaging, and shift-swapping features.

Employee engagement apps go a step further. They include features designed to
improve employee engagement, communication, and connection.

Use an app for employee engagement and you strengthen the relationship between
individual employees and the company. You also improve your overall team
engagement, boosting employee retention.


HOW DO YOU ENGAGE EMPLOYEES ON APPS?

There are a few key ways to keep employees engaged with an app:

 * Use push notifications for timely announcements and company news
 * Encourage employee interaction with features like forums, chats, and polls
 * Offer rewards or recognition through points, badges, and leaderboards
 * Make it easy to access important company information like employee handbooks
   and contact lists
 * Ensure managers are engaging in two-way conversations with employees


WHY IS AN EMPLOYEE APP AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR FRONTLINE TEAMS?

An employee engagement mobile app is an essential tool for frontline teams
because it helps them stay connected wherever they’re working. They don’t need a
desktop computer or a company email address to connect with company culture and
co-workers.

With an app, frontline workers can easily access company news, contact lists,
and important documents. Apps also provide a direct way for managers to give
feedback and recognition, and for employees to ask questions and get support.

An app for employees is a cutting-edge addition to any employee engagement
strategy.


WHAT ARE SOME DISADVANTAGES OF USING SLACK?

Slack is a popular corporate communication tool. But it doesn’t offer the same
features as an employee engagement app.

On Slack, it can be difficult to keep track of conversations across different
channels. It’s easy for important messages to get lost in the chaos. In
addition, Slack doesn’t provide the full suite of features offered by employee
engagement platforms, like Blink and Officevibe.

Top employee engagement apps include features dedicated to measuring employee
engagement. Think surveys, polls, and reports. Unlike Slack, they have
everything HR and comms teams need to measure and improve employee engagement.
