Engaging employees means more than just putting out a steady stream of internal communications. It’s important to measure engagement, track employee sentiment and optimize messaging based on your findings. Campaigns makes it easy by allowing you to quickly track the performance of multiple posts. With Campaigns you can spend less time gathering data on individual posts and more time gaining insights to improve how you communicate with your people.
