social media

I was recently reading Entrepreneur Magazine and they had a list of their best/favorite apps. That is when I came across Hyphen. Hyphen is Team Building. A question that comes up a lot is what is the difference between formal team building, such as an event with United EVENTures, and the daily opportunities that present themselves where corporations can build a team in the moment. Hyphen allows for the on the fly team building, giving people input throughout the day and giving an avenue to be heard and praised. 
Let’s face it, people talk and with the prevalence of social media in their lives, everyone has this sense of talking freely. This could be a good thing if your employees are praising the company or even saying how great of a boss you are; but if it’s cancerous talk, then by the time it reaches management level, it’s too late and the damage could be done.
From another perspective, people love feedback. It has been said that more than 30% of millennials are leaving their first career within the first 3 years, which is costing companies, on average, about $15,000 (some as high as $30,000 in time invested, training, finding a replacement, etc.). One of the main reasons cited is that they are not receiving enough positive feedback.
This is where Hyphen steps in: “At Hyphen, we understand enterprise customer needs, we have experience creating products that fill those needs, and we deliver value on an ongoing basis. We know that to retain good employees, companies need to make their employees feel valued, respected, and most of all, listened to. Executives and HR leaders with better information, more opinions, and regular feedback are better decision makers. Likewise, companies with more engaged, motivated and innovative employees are better companies. What gets said and what’s left unsaid can make all the difference at your company.”

Another great feature is the ability to send out polls, as it states on their website:

•  Intuitive: Get started with our Library of pre-validated questions and our fool-proof customization tools
•  Relevant to the business, not just HR: Poll any level of the organization, from the entire company to employee subgroups
• Anytime: Pulse polls at the frequency you need – one-time, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, etc
• Real-time Insights: See outcomes in real time and identify priority issues to make decisions ASA
