At Givens Communities, ensuring effective communication with their diverse workforce of 650 employees was a significant challenge. By adopting Netpresenter’s Corporate Screensaver, they now efficiently broadcast announcements, and updates, and promote various programs and events. This new approach has dramatically improved employee engagement, with staff feeling more connected and recent events seeing the highest attendances yet.
Challenge
“Email and posters were our primary communication methods, but they weren’t ideal—messages often went unnoticed or completely unread. Netpresenter provided everything we were looking for—from effective Screensaver functionality to the capability of expanding into Digital Signage later. We also liked the ease of use. Since we have a variety of people making content, having a large team able to do it easily was a big factor for us.”
Solution
Givens Communities now leverages Netpresenter’s Corporate Screensaver to manage a wide array of communications. “While we primarily use it for announcements, changes, and upcoming events, we also leverage Netpresenter to promote various programs,” they explain. “This includes integrating QR codes into the Screensavers, enabling staff to effortlessly sign up for opportunities like career coaching and other initiatives.”
Benefits
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. “We’ve received numerous verbal and email responses from employees who feel much more connected to what’s happening within the company.” But there’s more: “Recent events experienced our highest attendance yet, thanks to consistent daily reminders on all PC screens.”
“We’ve received numerous responses from employees who feel much more connected…”
