Boost Employee Engagement With Break Room Digital Signage

To encourage organizations to enliven their break rooms, here are some ideas for engaging digital signage for employee break room communications: 1) Feature social media updates Use the Enplug Social Media Wall App and the Instagram App for employees to post via internal social media hashtags as well as the company’s external marketing hashtags where appropriate. The benefits are twofold: the organization gets exposure on external social media and the employee gets immediate internal recognition on the break room TV screens. 2) Reinforce important safety and internal messages Organizations frequently have internal announcements to broadcast to employees. Yet there is so much clutter on email and internal messaging systems that important announcements often remain unread. These messages can be reinforced by using the Enplug Graphics and Video App to create engaging visual content displayed in employee break rooms, organizations have a better channel for catching their employees’ attention.
