What is a connected community? And why do you need it?
A connected community can share data and processes across a given platform to solve problems, nurture teamwork and enhance the relationship quality between the company and the employee.
If a company uses email or telephone, isn’t that considered connected? In part, yes. But there are important differences between being a connected community and using communication tools. Understanding these distinctions can enable companies to strategically plan long term projects and broaden their knowledge about the employees and add a valuable tool to their overall benefits package.
Connected communities have a broader use than standard communication tools. The use of email and telephone are only good if kept up to date, which is always a consistent problem across all companies. For most companies, this data lives in a spreadsheet or in an employee’s file in case they need to be contacted. The direct manager for the most part is the one that has the most up to date records and not the company.
As a company with a connected community this gives you real time methods of communication, no more emails to find out if a manager has the contact information or getting the disconnected message if you call an out of date number. A connected community enables the company and the employee to occupy the same digital space at the same time. With notifications, inbox chat, newsfeeds, favorite selections, and a crew creator to use dynamically when the time is needed.
Having a connected community cuts down on frustration, involves the employee real time in decision making and gives the employee that valuable feedback directly. Having a connected community erases the need for multiple digital tools such as WhatsApp, Facebook, LinkedIn, Skype, Zoom and many others. Having a connected community brings an element of teamwork and being part of the bigger picture.
Not only does a connected community hep you manage data and resources better it enables you to source new team members through the community.
