Frequently Asked Questions

Why Have an Employee App?

An employee app keeps employees engaged, improves internal communication, and helps employees get the most out of their experience. Employees can use an app to access important documents, stay up-to-date on company news and events, and connect with coworkers in real-time, providing wider benefits to your organization as a whole.

What is an Employee Management App?

An employee management app allows you to manage internal communications, employee engagement, and collaboration in one handy hub. It streamlines processes like onboarding, performance reviews, and employee recognition by integrating them into one platform. Additionally, an app can provide useful data on employee engagement which helps you make better decisions about how to move your organization forward.

What Devices Does the Blink Employee App Work On?

Our app is designed to work seamlessly on mobile devices, providing push notifications, calendar access, and an intuitive user interface right at your fingertips. The app is available to download on iOS and Android devices, as well as desktops for extra convenience.

How Do You Choose the Right App for Your Employees?

The mobile employee app you choose should match your unique company culture and frontline needs. Transforming the digital workplace for frontline workers will involve or affect many teams beyond the frontline workers and managers—HR, Communications, IT, and executives will have a stake in what happens.

What Makes a Good Employee App?

A good employee app is one that makes your employees’ experience better. For frontline workers, a good employee app needs to be simple to use on a mobile device—without sacrificing functionality compared to desktop apps. An easy-to-use employee app lowers the barrier for workers to get engaged, provide feedback, and increase adoption across other vital tools.

How Can an Employee App Streamline HR Processes Like Time Tracking and Leave Requests?

For many frontline organizations, HR processes can be highly manual and place a large burden on management and HR organizations. When frontline workers lack corporate emails or other authentication credentials to access corporate tools, the problem is further compounded. Printing schedules, managing paper time-off requests, and communicating schedule changes through phone calls and texts waste a surprising amount of time and money for companies.

Can an Employee App Improve Collaboration Between Remote and On-Site Teams?

The digital divide between remote and on-site teams grows every year. Remote workers often lack access to the same hardware and software that office workers rely on to communicate and collaborate efficiently with.

What Are the Key Differences Between an Employee App and a Traditional Employee Portal?

While there are many surface-level similarities between an employee app and a traditional employee portal, there are fundamental differences that make the former a better solution for frontline organizations.

How Can an App for Employees Help Reduce Turnover and Boost Retention?

Frontline workers historically have higher rates of turnover than their office-based peers. An employee mobile app like Blink helps address some of the chief concerns in frontline organizations: lack of transparency into the business, difficulty creating community, lack of two-way communication, and feeling left behind in digital transformation efforts.
