Mobile and web app developer Vidatec has launched its very own workplace wellbeing platform, engage4.
And in light of the ongoing pandemic, it’s offering businesses and organisations free use of the platform for a minimum of 90 days.
Vidatec, which is headquartered in Stirling and recently expanded into Edinburgh, works with clients across the UK in both public and private sectors.
Now in addition to delivering client solutions including couch to 5K, change for life, Saga Possibilities and UKTVPlay, the company is expanding its own portfolio with the launch of engage4.
This unique app combines employee engagement capabilities with exclusive wellbeing content (like tips on coping with stress in the workplace), provided in partnership with Workwise Wellness Solutions.
It offers HR leaders and employers a real opportunity to drive inclusion, with easy access for remote workers and all those not desk bound.
And with the ability to personalise community news feed and the option to create groups, employees can stay connected with each other even when away from the office.
For example, a check in pulse and light touch surveys enable HR and managers to track how employees are feeling at any given time.
To increase employee engagement, the app has been designed to encourage users to recognise colleagues with a ‘high-5’ feature. There is also the opportunity to earn points and badges, all designed to increase positive engagement and behaviour.
Support during critical times
As the app launches amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, engage4 is able to provide up-to-date and relevant wellbeing content specifically to help organisations and their employees communicate. It also allows employee wellbeing to be monitored and supported at this critical time.
Greig Johnston, CEO of Vidatec, said: “We really believe engage4 can help to make a real difference to people’s lives.
“We are proud to be partnering with Workwise Wellness Solutions with their sustainable wellbeing initiatives already benefiting many businesses, schools and local communities across the UK.
“We have developed engage4 to be used as trusted channel for promoting relevant wellbeing initiatives, tips, best practice and education, all of which is particularly crucial to organisations and businesses right now.
“It is a testing time for businesses and their employees at present as they adjust to new working patterns and locations of work, making employee engagement and especially human connection difficult between teams and colleagues.”
Vidatec is currently offering free use of the platform to organisations (for a period) as we all go through these challenging times.
The new engage4 app launched on March 31. Find out more on the website here.
