Manufacturing communication FAQs
Internal communicators leverage multiple channels such as email and employee SMS to reach their manufacturing employees. The most effective approaches include clear and timely messages that are short and relevant to your staff.
However, most industrial athletes don’t have access to a computer while they’re on the floor. This is where employee SMS can be valuable in reaching and informing staff with important updates in real-time. When email is available, messages through ContactMonkey can be tailored with personalized content and tracked for engagement metrics.
Adding multimedia content, such as instructional videos or safety guidelines can help improve employees’ awareness and training of their job environment, roles, and potential risks and hazards with operating machines and equipment. Delivering regular safety reminders can help reduce injury and damage.
Real-time feedback mechanisms through surveys or polls allow you to gather employee insights about their need and preferences, which can help improve an organization’s overall internal communications strategy.
While email remains a primary communication channel due to its versatility and widespread use, employee SMS alerts are increasingly used in manufacturing to ensure timely communication for those without desktop or company email access.
Employee SMS is especially critical for urgent matters or emergency notifications. With ContactMonkey, internal communicators can integrate both email and SMS into their strategies to effectively engage manufacturing staff.
“ContactMonkey’s Dynamic Content tool has saved me hours. I no longer have to copy and paste, I don’t have to duplicate emails—I can do it all in one. That also means I’m not trying to track 5 different emails. Instead, I’m just tracking one email that has gone to the entire company. It’s saving me time, brain space, and errors that happen in duplication.”
