The ways and means of boosting employee engagement and communication have always been a hot topic among most enterprises – both B2C and B2B. The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused companies to work remotely has made this engagement process even harder than before. Creating happy employee experiences is more important than ever. 

According to a J. Morgan’s HBR study report that reviewed 250 companies, data concludes that the companies that actively invested in employee experience outperformed the ones that didn’t (4.2x in average profit and 4.0x in profit per employee). Their average revenue was also twice as large.

Why exactly is employee engagement important for enterprises? 

  1. Higher employee satisfaction – When employees are engaged at work and feel satisfied with their position, they are more likely to stay loyal and be focused at work. 
  2. Higher retention and lower turnover – Investing in employee engagement can help you retain your top employees and lower your turnover rates by ensuring that your team is satisfied. 
  3. Increased productivity – It’s no secret that engaged employees work faster and harder because they like what they do. Gallup reports that engaged employees are 17% more productive. 
  4. Increased profitability – Happy employees translate to happy customers. Happy customers tend to keep coming back and they refer other people to your company.

Role of chat in employee engagement

For the most part, chatbots and live chat are thought of as tools that can only help in improving the end-user experience. However, the same technology (machine learning and artificial intelligence) can play an important role in transforming the employee experience by taking over basic tasks.

Here are some of the usecases of chatbot and livechat in internal communication: 

  1. Recruitment – The recruitment process can be a very tedious process, including a lot of important paperwork. Recruitment, more often than not, includes communication between the recruiter and applicant over more than one channel – call, email, text, etc. Switching to a chat system can eliminate this confusion and complication.
