Workforce management experts Bizimply is launching a new tool to keep communications between employers and employees transparent, open and separate from personal communication apps.
Bizimply Connect enables communication between team members in real-time, on a company-wide, site-specific or one-to-one messaging basis.
Operators will be able to use the platform to share weekly rotas with teams at specific sites, ask for short-notice staff cover, update employees on new company policies or marketing activities, or send tailored information to individuals, such as induction details for new joiners.
For team members, Bizimply Connect offers a way to communicate quickly with their GM or supervisor when they need guidance or support while on shift. They can also use the platform to chat with colleagues in their team or wider company, to share information and ideas, or to organise social events.
Importantly, team members will be able to turn off when not on shift, enabling them to easily separate communications about work from their personal life.
Bizimply UK managing director Alex Dyer said: “Crucially, Bizimply Connect helps operators to achieve high levels of engagement and motivation without intruding on team members’ personal lives. As an industry, we’re seeing growing numbers of staff experiencing ‘burn out’, frequently because of our long hours, ‘always on’ culture.
“Unlike other chat platforms, Bizimply Connect protects the boundaries between work and personal life, which will help protect team members’ mental health and keep them engaged and happy in their work.”
