How DeskAlerts can manage your digital signage for employee communications
Digital signage involves using screens throughout your workplace to communicate information to employees. Whether it's an office, a retail store, a factory or a warehouse, wherever you have screens you can send important information, reminders, updates and more.
The nature of digital signage is that it is visual and lively, which makes it attention-grabbing and highly engaging.
Digital signage of course isn’t the only way you should be communicating with your employees. However, by introducing it as part of a multi-channel approach to internal communications you can help to reinforce messages that you are sending to employees in other ways. By adding it to your internal communications you can be sure that it will be noticed.
Employee engagement describes the level of connection that employees feel with their company. Highly engaged employees are motivated, committed, dedicated and want to help the company succeed. When employees are engaged they’re likely to be satisfied with their work, will be more productive and efficient, take less days off and are less likely to leave the company.

Displaying your company goals and values - there’s no point in having a company mission statement if you’re going to lock it away in a drawer and never look at it. Keep it front of mind for employees so they know what your company stands for, what it values and what it wants to achieve.
Digital signage is one of the tools offered by DeskAlerts to enhance your internal communications. You can create eye-catching visual displays that DeskAlerts will help you to send to any digital screen within your organization.
It’s a great way to reach members of your workforce who aren’t desk-based, as well as reinforcing messages for employees who have computer access but may be suffering from information overload.
DeskAlerts digital signage for corporate communications will allow you to display:
Our digital signage software can be used to send signage to every single screen in the organization or to send information to specific, targeted screens. For example, you may have safety information relevant only to employees working in your factory: you don’t need to send this to office-based employees. Or there might be a corporate event happening for employees in one city that isn’t relevant to the rest of the organization across the country.
And with our enhanced screen management feature for digital signage, you can now split your displays into several different zones (up to four) to deliver more information to employees and attract more attention. You can end a combination of different types of messaging to screens such as video, images and scrolling text. There is the ability to manage the content queues separately as well as scheduling in advance.
A further setting provides you with the option to override the entire screen with emergency messaging.
