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. The Staffbase Communications Cloud integrates seamlessly with Microsoft applications, offering a communications-focused intranet with more control. Even Gartner thinks we're awesome as a leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intranet Packaged Solutions. We believe that inspired teams achieve more and that inspiration comes through communication. And that's more than just a community platform. So, effective immediately, we are offering affected customers strategic advisory and commercial support on the best-fit approach for their company. (Because one size doesn't fit all.)

Companies are failing to connect with their most important audience. ❌ Our brand new 2024 Employee Communication Impact Study developed alongside USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism revealed a significant disconnect between companies and their employees regarding internal communication, revealing that this gap can lead to decreased happiness and higher turnover. This disconnect is concerning, especially when we found 61% of employees considering a job change cite poor communication as a key factor. 🤯 Effective internal communication isn't just a nice-to-have — it's essential for: -> Building a company culture of trust. -> Aligning employees around a shared goal or vision. -> Engaging your entire organization—no matter where they work. -> Bolstering employee retention rates. In fact, our study revealed that organizations with strong communication strategies see a 35% increase in employee retention. 🤝 It's time to transform employee communication from a mere channel for updates to a strategic tool for alignment and trust.

Closing the gap. Believing in pay equity! 💰 On #InternationalEqualPayDay, we reaffirm our commitment to fair and equitable compensation, because at Staffbase we believe that equal pay isn’t just a policy—it’s a demonstration of our values in action. Our commitment to pay equity is reflected in our annual merit cycle, where we carefully review and update salary ranges, taking into account performance, equity and external benchmarks to ensure each employee is fairly compensated for their contributions. ⚖️ And the results speak for themselves: Our pay equity ratio stands at an impressive 99.7%. This means that women in equivalent roles earn 99.7% of their male counterparts' salaries, placing us well above the industry average of 95% and demonstrating that our compensation practices are highly equitable. While we celebrate this significant achievement, we remain focussed on what’s right. We're committed to bridging the final 0.3% gap, reflecting our dedication to continuous improvement and our ultimate goal of perfect pay equity. Equal pay is a commitment we make because we truly care about creating a fair workplace. 🧡 #LetsOwnIt
