Employee Engagement in the Modern Workforce
Employees are the new customers.
These days, everyone is a digital native. Your deskless workforce is mobile first – and without the right tools, they feel more disconnected than ever. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Attract and retain the best people
The right tools – like a mobile employee engagement app – are both an asset and a necessity. 85% of people who say they have great technology at work also love their jobs.
Save time, wasted effort and money
Mobile-first experiences reduce friction, and employees with fewer frustrations feel like they’re having a greater impact.

Engaged employees stick around.
When workers are surveyed, researchers find that just about half would be willing to accept another job offer if the benefits were right. What’s keeping the other half from doing the same? Engagement. Employees who feel a connection both to their work and your organizational goals will stick around because they want to contribute to making your company successful.
Our employee engagement app is for more than just comms and data management. It can foster that connection across your organization, making everyone more productive and the company itself more profitable.
Everything they need to do and everything they want to know.
Make it easy for your employees to love where they work. Give them a tool that shows you value their time and empower everyone to deliver. With an employee engagement platform like Blink, you can turn every employee into a source of competitive advantage.

What is employee engagement?
Try to find the ‘definition of employee engagement’ online and you’ll get a variety of explanations. This often leads to confusion on the true meaning of what employee engagement really is. But in its simplest terms, employee engagement is the relationship between an organization and its employees
How can I improve employee engagement?
Employee engagement has a significant impact on performance and productivity (engaged workers contribute 202% more), but employee engagement is about more than worker happiness, streamlined internal comms, and pay and benefits.
That’s because what makes employees more engaged is not necessarily happiness or even satisfaction. The key elements of employee engagement lie in the knowledge that employees have an important role to play in an organization. They can see how their contribution fits in, they feel they have a voice, and they are recognized for what they accomplish.
With that in mind, there are many approaches you can take when brainstorming what employee engagement strategies you’d like to put in place. While improving employee engagement will look different for every business, these ideas can help you get started:
- Gauge your employees’ feelings and opinions with things like surveys, questionnaires, and feedback
- Show your employees that you listen; if an issue has been brought to your attention, address it
- Give employees a voice by facilitating channels where they can give feedback and report any issues
- Give employees a place where they can show off their work and receive praise
- Consider that employees have different communication preferences and styles; engaging your introverted employees will likely be different than your extroverted employees
How can I measure employee engagement?
The only way to improve employee engagement is to measure and monitor it. But knowing how to measure employee engagement can be difficult. Digital tools can have a significant impact on how work gets done, but one of the problems with traditional intranet platforms is that the built in analytics simply measure how engaged employees were with the intranet not with the company.
When you use an employee communication app like Blink, you get a variety of analytics options that let you track everything from communications flow to trending topics.
Blink’s workforce analytics can help you measure, monitor, and improve employee engagement by giving you deep insights into your company’s internal communications, coworker relationships, and overall employee sentiment. As a result, you’ll have a distinct edge over your competition.
What's the difference between employee engagement and employee experience?
Employee engagement is the end goal. Employee experience is the means to that end: it will consider employee engagement at all touch points throughout the employment life cycle. Both require a culture where leaders and managers alike put themselves in the employees' shoes, and a strong internal communications strategy to keep employees aligned.
