It will be the ideal complement to your Digital Workplace. We will continuously update you on all the new, great benefits this partnership will bring you.
New partnership
We are pleased to announce the conclusion of a strategic partnership with We advocacy to strengthen employee engagement.
We advocacy, through an innovative notification system, allows you to highlight important intranet information directly on your employees' screens. Seamlessly integrated into the Powell suite, you will be able to considerably increase your reading and engagement rates for your articles or newsletters.
1. Select any information (news, events, newsletters, reports, training) you want to promote to your employees.
2. Send the selected information as a notification to an employee PC.
3. A notification automatically pops upon an employee's screen. (PC)
As part of this partnership, We advocacy offers 6 months of free subscription with an unlimited number of licenses to the first 3 customers.
