For many companies it’s hard to find a good way to inform everyone in the company at the same time. People may be working in various time schedules, different locations or even abroad, but how do you make them feel part of the team and get their feedback on HQ news?
General information is mostly sent via e-mail to ‘all’ the employees. Some companies even send weekly or bi-weekly internal newsletters, which really misses the point, since that information typically needs to be delivered in real-time (and not disappear in everyone’s mailbox) and there’s no way to get feedback…
The world is going social and it’s no different in the enterprise world. Employees expect to have a voice in the company. Top down information is necessary, but not the only way of communicating.

Yes, that’s scary….but the world has evolved in this way.

With Google+ you can easily inform your people and keep them engaged. It’s fast and simple! See it for yourself here!
