Reach Every Employee
One central hub, instead of five disconnected channels
Email, noticeboards, group chats. Frontline employees are often reached through whatever's convenient, not what actually works. Workvivo brings communication into one mobile-first hub built for people who don't sit at a desk.
- A single source of truth, instead of scattered updates across multiple channels
- Push notifications that deliver time-sensitive updates directly, without waiting to be found
- A mobile app frontline employees can access from their own phone, no company device needed
