Texting for Manufacturing Companies
Bad weather rolling in? Company event coming up? Changes in payroll or benefits? Sudden power outage?
Emails and phone calls ultimately fail in effectively getting these kinds of HR updates out to your employees quickly. But with SMS read rates as high as 98%, an easy-to-use texting platform means more effective communication.
Email’s OK, but if we’re honest, it’s become unreliable.
People are drowning in emails. That notice you just sent may just sit in the inbox collecting dust - especially for those employees who don't work in the corporate office.
And even out of the select few who do read your email, several of them don’t read it until hours later.
By that time, it’s too late for them to turn in their missing payroll information by EOD. Or too late for them to realize they shouldn’t come into work because the system is down.
So people miss the updates and you’re left scrambling to keep people in the know.
And this lack of good communication can even impact your bottom line.
...a manufacturing company in Cincinnati, OH. As a company policy, Bill’s firm pays employees for 2 full hours’ labor any time they come into work, even if they are sent home prior to working for 2 hours.
...when there was a power outage one day. Bill says, “Due to the power failure, we were unable to reach our employees because email didn’t work and we couldn’t pull up phone numbers on a computer because we didn’t have power.”
only to be sent home right away due to the power outage - each of them receiving 2 full hours’ pay for 0 work. There has to be a better way to keep everyone informed. But you (and Bill) can only work with what you have. Which begs the question…
