Internal company app – employee messaging function
About employee messaging and other communication methods
Employee messaging is an effective way of communication, however, it can be problematic to use personal devices or personal phone numbers. Most employees prefer separating their work from personal life. In fact, encouraging this separation of work from personal life is benefitial to their mental health. It’s all about creating that life-work balance.
Therefore, having remote employees in many locations can mean that communicating regular updates or even urgent information and instructions can be tricky. Email might not always be picked up, phone calls can be difficult to manage if employees are on different shifts and word of mouth is unreliable.
Employee messaging function via your custom-built business applications
Many businesses have built their own applications which often have messaging functions. These apps are built around the company processes and emplyees’ needs. This is an effective way of managing communication and keep all work-related tasks and functions separte from personal messaging and social media.
With this in mind, if you would like an easy way to send information to all of your employees, no matter where they are working, and ensure that they have definitely seen it during their shifts, then Real-Link custom application is for you. With Real-Link you can send real-time messages via the messaging function built into the application.
More than just a messaging application
Real-Link messaging works as part of the normal Real-Link app. It enables you to send basic text messages or more detailed messages including pictures, attachments or links.
You can send messages using the web reports system to deliver them to the employee’s mobile phone. They will only be able to see the message if they are logged into the Real-Link app. Messages can also be set to be sent at particular times. If there is a task that must be done within a certain timeframe, set the message to be sent at that time.
The main benefit of Real-Link messaging over standard text messages is that they can be set to be sent to either individuals, groups of employees, or everyone. Messages can also have a requirement that they must be replied to so that you can have confirmation from the employee that a task has been done. Messaging through the Real-Link system is also included in the Real-Link monthly licensing costs.
