Making the work feel like a community
As part of the most complete platform for the modern workforce. The community helps employees meet critical workforce challenges, including The Great Resignation, changing workforce demographics, and mobile and hybrid work. Fast shifts to include.
Employee experience has never been more important, as evidenced by recent research from MIT Sloan Management Review, which found that corporate culture is 10 times more likely to contribute to employees’ departure than company compensation. Great.
“The modern workforce expects a lot more from their employees,” said Steve Beauchamp, Co-CEO for Velocity. “Employees want payroll, benefits, and performance tools that are easy to use, but more than that, they want a personalized experience that is flexible enough to meet their needs. That’s why we are using the Paylocity platform to build employee experience. In every area of the field – from text to mobile to mobile time enrollment.
To discussion groups providing on-demand payment and built-in video capabilities, velocity collaboration, communication, and connection – with traditional HR and payroll systems. Not just designed to meet those needs, which is ironic because an HR system should really be about the employees they claim to be serving.
Many customers use communities to change communication channels that either do not reach all employees or are ignored. It quickly becomes the only source of updates for all companies, linking employees to locations, even those that are without desk or completely remote.
