We all have primal fears that can shake us to our core. That fear of the unknown that follows us everywhere like a cold shiver running down our spines....
Employee disengagement may not be top of your spook list, however, left untreated disengagement can quickly spread through the ranks and evolve into a living nightmare for employees, HR and senior leadership.

Did you know that push notifications increase engagement by 278%?!
In this article, we delve into the what, the why and the how of push notifications.
Handling internal communications and constantly keeping all employees in the know is no easy feat. But thanks to a collaboration with Workvine, Dreams has been able to reinvent the communication wheel that will ensure no lost sleep over mixed messages.
None of us like to think about disasters and they can be nigh on impossible to foresee. But, if you needed to, how would you communicate a calamity to all of your employees instantly?
Imagine a change in a company's infrastructure is on the horizon, one that will no doubt ripple through the company, impacting all employees in varying ways, a change that they will benefit from being on top of... and yet they're only finding out about it second-hand. Why didn't the employers tell them? Did they feel their staff weren't important enough to warrant a simple notification?
Here at Workvine, we believe the employee app is the key tool to bridging the gap between employer and employee. SMT acquired the app last year and couldn't wait to tell us how it's going.
For me, at the heart of motivation lies the necessity to make someone think.
Historically, conversations with other people have provided that stimulus. While the depth and subtlety of a good chat can’t easily be beaten, in our digital age there are now other options to encourage people to think about things.
Nothing can motivate better than someone (who cares about you) looking you in the eye and saying a few words that you desperately need to hear, but for all sorts of reasons that doesn’t happen anywhere near enough.
Cue digital solutions that are stepping in to fill the void.
Everyone knows the sort of people that they like working with (and those people who are slightly less pleasant to have around).
Imagine, then, if the wider team had a say in the recruitment process?
Would companies attract better people and retain them for longer?
