There are many ways you can improve internal communications within your organization, and one of the best ways is to embrace and harness new technology.
There’s an app for just about anything you can imagine these days, so you’d have to be living under a rock if you thought that there weren’t apps specifically designed to help improve workplace culture and communications.
These are some of the top apps on the market today for internal communication:
1. Slack

The messages appear no matter what other tasks employees are occupied with at the time, making it a reliable method of sharing important news in a way that can’t be skipped, ignored or minimized.
6. Redbooth
