Get in touch with your employees wherever they are using our employee texting platform.
No credit card required
An employee texting app makes it possible for companies to text team members individually or all at once with mass texts.
It’s easy to send a text message to your whole organization, your team, or just one of your employees. Follow these six steps:
“I love being able to reach many of our partners in just a few simple steps.”
One of the biggest perks of employee text messaging is that you can use it for a variety of use cases depending on your needs. Here are some of the most popular we’ve seen among our users.
Keep meeting attendance high and your team in the loop by sending out text reminders ahead of important meetings (virtual or otherwise).
You can even schedule these messages to send automatically at a set date and time so you can set them and forget them.
“We’ve seen about an 88% retention rate in terms of our clients coming back to our meetings on a regular basis.”
Switching shifts can be a headache if you’re coordinating with a traditional group chat. With an employee texting platform, you can send out a mass text with the shifts you need covered and coordinate with individual employees through the inbox to get scheduling done faster and more efficiently.
“We see a response rate 3-4x higher on our texts than emails. More importantly, we can see an uptick in filled shifts when we text a group of nurses about a particular facility.”
Don’t get caught without a way to communicate with your team when things go wrong. Whether it’s a fire, inclement weather, power outage, or other emergency, you can trigger an emergency alert text to relevant team members.
“The ability to stay in touch with our employees 24/7 has been critically important for us and our business.”
If your industry requires continuing education to maintain licensing (like real estate), you can send links to courses, registration pages, or event sign-up forms to help your employees stay current.
“I find that texting reaches more people. And when the goal is to get more people signed up and out to events, it just gets done with texting.”
While off-site employees may not be next to their computers, 43% of SMS users check text messages more than ten times a day, so they’re likely to have their phones within arm’s reach. Text your employees wherever they are with important updates or questions.
“Our employees are on roofs. They’re busy. We often can’t reach them by phone and sending a text is much easier than leaving a voicemail and maybe getting a call back a day later.”
Visibility is important in every organization, and you can easily let your staff know about company-wide news or regular updates with a brief text. Include the news in your text itself or add a link to your favorite update page.
“Some of our staff doesn’t check their email as often, so texting allowed our staff to get that information in a more timely manner and just at their fingertips rather than having to open up an email.”
Advertise open positions, make it easy for candidates to apply, and simplify async conversations with our text messaging recruiting software. Your candidates will appreciate it – one in five people would rather text a potential employer than call or email them.
