Effective communication drives well-being program awareness and participation. Unfortunately, many well-being programs still depend on unreliable communications channels like posters, brochures, physical mail and email. 80% of the global workforce is deskless, and most of them do not use computers or a corporate email address for their work. This causes a huge communications gap. Program participation suffers and HR misses opportunities to send urgent messages and update employees with relevant benefits information.

Limeade Well-Being is different. The Limeade ONE mobile app enables you to reach every employee within your organization — no matter where they are. With communications functionality built-in, Limeade Well-Being empowers admins and program champions to easily deliver timely and relevant information to targeted employee groups. This gives you the power to improve the physical, emotional, financial and work well-being of your entire employee population. With Limeade, you can reach the right user at the right time with the right message.

Here’s how to get started with employee experience.

Workplace from Facebook is a communication tool that connects everyone in your company, even if they’re working remotely. Use familiar features like Groups, Chat, Rooms and Live Video broadcasting to get people talking and working together and boost your employee experience.
