More than 66% of all media is consumed through a mobile device. The workforce is made up of 80% non-desk workers. Employee communication and work has gone mobile.
Many non-desk workers do not have a corporate identity and do not have access to company news delivered on the intranet or via email. This means, Corporate Communications and HR miss a tool to reach this group.
This situation and the new mobile frontier present a unique challenge with how to reach, align, enable, and engage your entire workforce for employee advocacy and retention. As well as how to provide all employees with important information, training, and tools.
