Text-messaging

A time-saving solution to employee engagement challenges

Traditionally, businesses have relied on email for employee communication. Today, it’s almost impossible to get your HR emails reliably opened and read, though. And some frontline employees may not even access their email for days at a time.

SMS text messaging gives you a direct line to provide employees with timely information, answer their questions, and get feedback quickly on onboarding, retention programs, and employee disposition. Texting also gives you a way to deliver quick reminders, send surveys, and solicit feedback instantly on the channel your employees prefer to use. Mainstay makes it easy to automate all of these activities, so you can encourage employees to take action fast and at scale.

How to create a better preboarding experience with Mainstay:

Preboarding

Create a sense of belonging before day one

Preboarding is the best time to begin building relationships between employees and your company — and connecting with new hires through automated, empathetic, 2-way text messaging is the most effective way to do it.

Engaging new hires before their start date helps you create rapport and strengthen your new hires’ commitment to the job. Meaningful preboarding engagement also reduces no-shows and helps employees become more productive, faster.

Frontline workers

Engage with your deskless workforce

Frontline workers often lack the support and resources that in-office staff enjoy — but clear and consistent communication will keep your distributed team engaged and connected. Personalized, automated text messaging is the best way to support your frontline workers’ success and longevity at your company.

Mainstay’s Employee Engagement Platform empowers HR professionals to provide deskless workers the relevant, timely information they need through text messaging. These instant, automated conversations benefit your team by:

  • Reducing offer-to-start date ghosting
  • Decreasing shift cancellations and no-shows
  • Automatically supporting employees 24/7 and showing them that you’re responsive to their feedback and needs
