Organizations are tapping into this power of SMS for their employee communications. Trumpia's SMS software for Human Resources and Internal Communications goes beyond simple mass texting by targeting employees and automating manual chores for your team. Here’s how text messaging can help your HR department stay on top of things and help your company thrive.
Text messaging makes sending important HR announcements such as policy updates, key memos, and critical alerts more effective. With SMS:
Any thriving business will tell you that updating company policies is an essential part of maximizing employee productivity and satisfaction. Ensure your entire workforce has read your policy changes by sending text notifications with links to the new policies. The average click through rate for links in SMS messages stands at 19% which is much higher than the click through rate for traditional emails at 3.2%.
One of the most important aspects of any business is recruiting the most qualified candidates. Studies show that 70% of candidates would like to apply for open positions on their mobile devices.Text recruiting is the process of sending text messages (also known as SMS Recruiting) messages to find and recruit candidates for your openings. While SMS is a relatively new way to recruit candidates, it is quickly becoming one of the most effective ways to find new talent.
With automated text software like Trumpia, businesses can target their messages so that they get the best candidates. This leads to a higher ROI on your strategy as well as leaves candidates and employees satisfied while they interact with your company.
Give your candidates what they want by implementing SMS to take your recruitment process to the next level. Here’s how:
Training and onboarding employees to the best of your abilities will produce a workforce that is productive and efficient. To provide your employees with the most efficient training experience, you can share study materials, policy changes, and surveys via text messages to maximize the effectiveness of your training.
A large portion of the training process involves learning about the company, competitors, and daily responsibilities. You can save crucial time during that first training day by sending them study material to get them up to speed. By preparing your onboarding employees with essential information, you’ll be able to take full advantage of the initial days of training.
One of the most crucial aspects of training is determining if new employees grasped their duties, company culture, or industry during training. Send them a quick text survey to determine their proficiency. Using reporting features, you can quickly analyze answers to identify which employees mastered the content and which ones need additional training.
By alerting employees prior to enrollment season through a mass text message, you will give them substantial time to evaluate their current plans and ask any questions before the open enrollment deadline.
Send out links to your open enrollment plans to your employees through text. This will allow them to discover each plan fully while alleviating a majority of the questions needed to be answered by your HR department and ensure they pick the optimal plan. And keep in mind that employees that are satisfied with their benefits are 4x more likely to be satisfied with their work.
Some employees may simply lack the motivation to sign off on a new plan. To help spark their interest towards open enrollment,
send personalized text messages to encourage them to fill out their paperwork. This personalization can range from something simple, like their name, to more complex content, like the types of plans they qualify for.
HR departments are wasting time when they try to schedule open enrollment meetings through email or over the phone. In fact, an average of 336 hours are dedicated to open enrollment each year, but only one hour is spent actually selecting their benefits. Streamline communications and staff meeting scheduling by establishing personal two-way communication through bulk messaging.
