What is an Employee Communication App?

An employee communication app is a tool organizations use to connect and engage with their employees by sharing communications, news and important information.

Employee communication apps elevate important information outside of email, delivering proactive notifications and targeted, contextual information in an easy-to-consume manner on any mobile device. This is especially important for frontline workers, who are often excluded from communications because they don’t have an email address or access to a desktop computer.

Many employee communication apps also deliver additional functionality beyond communications. Additional services provided by an employee communication app might include providing seamless remote access to workplace tools to centralize the functionality of multiple workplace apps into a single mobile experience. They may also deliver self-service functionality that enables employees to find information and complete routine tasks on the go.
