Great tool for engagement

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Workvivo to share posts, create engagement activities, reward program etc. It helps a lot in Peer recognition and employees get a sense of involvement and connectivity with others which majorly solves issues related to dis-connectivity. We have been using this for over 3 years now and the features are super helpful in creating awareness, sharing updates.

Pros

  • It works as an engagement tool for all employees and helps them connect virtually
  • Workvivo has options of creating various activities, surveys, quiz etc which is very helpful for corporate employees
  • The inter-phase is simple and easy to understand and can be used in both mobile and laptop
  • People can showcase their talent as well which can create recognition and give them exposure

Cons

  • The tool gets very slow sometimes and often requires multiple refresh which should be fixed by tech team
  • I often get logged out automatically and need to sign in again which is little inconvenient
  • High speed internet is required for this tool, else it won't be smooth. Data consumption is relatively high

Return on Investment

  • Positive impact has been created on the socializing skills of employees and creating bond
  • We have also noticed increased participation and motivation for the employees when it comes to Workvivo
  • A negative aspect can be over usage of this tool and getting addicted since it can consume a lot of time

Usability

Workvivo-Worth the try

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

All of our communication and events are posted on Workvivo. We use it like an intranet and one stop shop for our employees. Instead of emails, use Workvivo to house important documents that are available to all employees. We have different groups that we are part of in order to communicate in one place and the information is always there if anyone need to refer back to it.

Pros

  • It allows us to schedule events and employees get reminders.
  • It allows us to post things to employees log in so it is the 1st thing they see.
  • Workvivo also allows us to share photos and celebrate work anniversaries and birthdays of employees.

Cons

  • It would be great to be able to create a re-occurring event in Workvivo. This option is not available.

Return on Investment

  • The positive impact is at least 74% of our staff is registered for the program due to some incentive that drove them to register.
  • Negative- Not all employee utilize it and search for easy accessible information.

Workvivo for Culture!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Workvivo as an Employee Engagement and Culture Alignment tool. Workvivo has been instrumental in helping us reach our employees and keep them updated on company news and events as well as allowing us to keep them engaged and has played a major role in the delivery and adoption of our Culture Transformation. It has replaced boring emails and instead allowed us to make Internal Communications a lot more fun. The tool is intuitive, easy to use, and offers a great user experience for employees and admins alike. Workvivo also provided a platform that was bi-lingual (Arabic/English) which was a major requirement for us. They worked closely with us to deliver an interface that allowed us to switch between the two languages seamlessly even within a specific post or article. This was a major requirement that no other platform provides.

Pros

  • Aligning activity to Company Culture and Activities.
  • DIrectly engaging with employees in real time.
  • The Workvivo app is very advanced and offers a great experience, as does the desktop version.
  • The bi-lingual capabilities (English/Arabic) have been a great advantage, something we couldn't find in any of the other tools on the market.

Cons

  • The survey feature can be improved a lot. We still need to use Survey Monkey for most surveys as the Workvivo features need to be enhanced.
  • The ability to have people not just confirm events but also register for them with the ability to track registration and send notifications/reminders only to people who have not RSVPed.
  • The choice to have push notifications sent only to specific groups or to people that haven't opened the post yet.
  • A gallery of photos from events that can be easily archived and accessed.

Most Important Features

  • User Experience.
  • Posts & Articles.
  • People and Team Structures (the Org Chart view is a life saver).
  • The integration with AD.

Return on Investment

  • Instrumental in delivering Culture Transformation.
  • Significantly improved Corporate Communication.

This has been greatest of all time since I saw any employee related portal in any organization!!!!!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It helps me have a 1-click platform to start everything.....!!!!! I can share my thoughts, I can share my ideas, I can do vote polling on the go, and I can have whatever I need in just one click.....!!!!! Also, It has a page full of internal links where we can have access to any site officially. This helps a lot to me in saving time and energy in finding links seperately. I can see what our company has shared publically on social media on the homepage of the portal. The has been the greatest of all in any organization.....!!!!! Above all of this, I can use it anywhere, anytime on my mobile phone too.....!!!!! There is an app to download too, this is too good.....!!!!!

Pros

  • Social Media Awareness
  • Social Contribution
  • Information sharing

Cons

  • Sometimes, my colleagues say when it comes to posting anything, the UI shows a new pop-up window, which is minimal and can be improvised by giving more features, such as connecting links to tag our teammates.

Most Important Features

  • Sharing information
  • Connecting communities
  • Helping each other
  • Creating polls

Return on Investment

  • Although, I haven't seen any issues with my portal or on the mobile app as of now, this portal has always been getting better day by day.
