If you have invested in digital signs in the office, you should know that they are an excellent tool for employee engagement. With the help of OptiSigns, you will find that digital signage for office use is a great way to keep everyone in the office connected and motivated.
Right now, is a critical time to think about employees engagement. The disruption caused by the pandemic meant many team members were out of the office, there on a limited basis, or are maybe now coming to the office for the first time. As a result, employers will need to revisit engagement strategies. What worked in the past may not be as effective as it was before.
There is no doubt that employee engagement leads to improved organizational outcomes. A high level of engagement increases employee satisfaction, helps staff stay focused, and improves employee well-being. Employee engagement sets workplace culture, and the right culture makes the most out of everyone's time, skills, and energy.
For employee engagement, digital signs may be a powerful tool. Even if signage was initially designed for a different purpose such as client or customer interaction, wayfinding, or just to reinforce branding throughout campus, with OptiSigns, you can easily add new functionality and use them as a tool for engagement. It is just a matter of selecting and displaying the right content. Here are some ideas to make that happen:
Digital Signs in the Office: Create Engagement Through Leaderboards
Leaderboards create engagement through gamification. Using the psychology of social comparison, leaderboards not only improve performance but also help employees engage at a deeper level in the overall goals of the company. OptiSigns makes it simple and easy to display leaderboards on one, many, or all your connected digital displays. Just take your leaderboard results, and create an image, Google slide, PowerPoint presentation, or other documents. Then, you can add it to a playlist to run it in rotation with additional content or create a split-screen and display the results alongside other data.
Employee Engagement – Digital Signs for Recognition
A proven method of increasing employee engagement is through recognition. It is more than a "feel good" strategy. Instead, it is a way to align team members with each other and the organization's goals.
Digital Signage for Office Engagement: Birthdays and New Team Members
One of the easiest ways to keep employees engaged is to simply recognize important moments in the lives of your team members. Birthdays are important milestones, and with OptiSigns, you never have to miss the chance to wish someone a happy birthday. Thanks to OptiSigns "schedules" feature, you can create and schedule birthday messages in advance, so you never forget. While you are at it, it is easy to schedule slides to recognize new team members and even work anniversaries.
Use Digital Signs in the Office to Announce Upcoming Events + Add QR Codes for RSVPs
Office events are a great way to increase employee engagement. However, it can be a challenge to get employees to sign up to attend. Whether it is a holiday party, a team-building event, or training, you can use your digital signs in the office to increase participation. One of the best features of OptiSigns is the capability to show the content at the right time on the right sign. You likely know where employees congregate for meetings, meals, or just while moving from place to place. You can use the built-in templates to design event announcements. There are even templates with built-in QR codes that you can customize to lead to a registration or RSVP page to make it easy for everyone to sign up.
Increase Engagement Through Customer Reviews
In many organizations, engagement can lag when employees are too far removed from clients and customers. It can really help team members to see customer reviews. OptiSigns has built-in functionality to display reviews from Google and Yelp. You can also display curated content using images, slides, or the built-in designer.
Employee Engagement – Digital Signs for KPI Dashboards
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are, by themselves, a powerful way to create employee engagement. However, if you really want to get the most out of them, you need to keep them in front of your team. With OptiSigns, you can display KPIs on any of your connected screens whenever you want. For example, you may decide to show them during all working hours in places where staff will see like conference and break rooms. You can create PDFs, graphics, charts, and other formats and display them on your screens. Or, you can even use OptiSigns' embed option to display dynamically updated KPIs from your software dashboard.
Additional Software to Promote Employee Engagement
OptiSigns is a great way to display content that will lead to deeper employee engagement. Still, it may be worthwhile to check out some of the tools that provide the foundation for your engagement efforts. There are dedicated leaderboard software platforms like Engagebay that can track stats, perform automatic calculations, and create online displays that can readily be displayed using OptiSigns' software. KPI dashboards can be easily created in Tableau's data visualization software. OptiSigns has a built-in app that easily shows your Tableau creations on any of your signs.
