Despite the widespread use of e-mail and instant messaging for communicating with employees, SMS text messaging remains a unique and under-utilized tool in the business context. It is an ideal medium for ensuring that critical messages are not only delivered, but read and acted upon in a timely manner due to its immediacy and high open rates.
Unlike email, which can get lost in cluttered inboxes, SMS messages are distinguished by their immediacy and accessibility.
This ensures that important updates, reminders and alerts are delivered efficiently.
Activity Messenger allows you to segment your list and personalize your outreach using mail merge. This helps you quickly send the right information to the right group of employees.
You can create detailed lists based on specific criteria such as job function, location, or project teams. And by personalizing each message, you not only increase the relevance of each message, but also foster a sense of individual recognition and value among team members.
Activity Messenger provides both instant and scheduled messaging options.
Instant delivery is critical for urgent communications, ensuring that important updates are delivered without delay.
Scheduled delivery is perfect for planned updates or reminders, ensuring that messages are sent at the most opportune time.
To complement this flexibility, strategic planning tools enable you to schedule a series of messages for ongoing reminders. This level of planning and scheduling capability is invaluable in helping you maintain a regular and effective flow of communication with your team.
Create personalized text messages linked to employee surveys and feedback forms.
Once sent, recipients can access the survey from their mobile. Activity Messenger’s interface allows you to customize questions, include conditional logic, and make surveys anonymous.
Gain valuable insights with comprehensive analytics, track responses, and seamlessly export data to Excel. Share surveys via email, SMS, or social media while maintaining professional communication standards.
You can also schedule feedback forms to go out after an employee’s first 3, 6, and/or 12 months without human intervention. This allows you to simplify the process of collecting employee feedback, but still check in with employees on an ongoing basis to see how they are doing and collect important data.
Activity Messenger offers suite of tools designed for various aspects of employee management and engagement.
Our platform is not just a communication tool; it’s a comprehensive solution designed to meet the unique challenges and workflows of different organizations. Our goal is to bring a new level of efficiency and clarity to your communications and transform the way you engage with your team.
