Provider of employee communication and engagement software, Thrive, announced the launch of its new self-service, rapid deployment Thrive.App which fast track businesses’ internal communications for their frontline teams. It can be set up and launched within hours.

In the wake of Covid-19, where over 80% of the world’s workforce is deskless, employee communications apps are playing key roles in keeping front line teams informed, engaged, and supported. Through the Thrive.App, clients can quickly remove the reliance on notice boards, allowing front line teams easy access to critical information and gather feedback.

James Scott, CEO of Thrive, hopes that Thrive.App will enable organisations to see the benefits of digital communications, especially during these difficult times.

“It will help many companies manage the complex work required to move comms from noticeboards to mobile phones. It’s engineered to make the setup, sign off and success of introducing a digital communication channel easier than ever before, taking the risk and worry away from launching a new solution.”

“Using Thrive.App, organisations can now set up an employee comms app within hours, with predefined content templates, drag and drop functionality, customised themes to suit their brands and best practice guidance from our team,” he adds.

During the Covid-19 crisis, Thrive has reported an al-time usage peak as high as 200%. “With our programme for change in preparation for our move to the new children’s hospital and the current health crisis we are facing, there has never been a more important time for us to ensure our colleagues are connected, sharing and receiving important information and feel fully supported and recognised,” says TREVOR Murphy, director of HR at Children’s Health Ireland, a client of Thrive.

Thrive’s platform and apps are already used by over 250,000 employees, across the public sector, healthcare, manufacturing, food production, transport, and retail.
