Staffbase

Workplace from Meta is shutting down. Many companies are now left scrambling for alternatives. If you're affected, this situation threatens your communication and community-building efforts, impacting your workplace culture and employee engagement. But while Enterprise Social Networks are fantastic at community building, there are more elements that you can add to take your Comms efforts up a notch. Employees need more than just a sense of belonging. They need direction. They need strategic communications that align their efforts with the bigger picture. So, when you're searching for an alternative, why not rethink your goals and how you can reach them? Maybe you want to: → Drive community → Reach your frontline → Deliver critical updates All in a way that inspires your employees across channels in a focused, impactful way Then we'd recommend taking a look at (ahem...and we know we're a bit biased) Staffbase.
