Reaching the whole team
Tools

One product, three jobs

Write it. Reach everyone. Know who read it.

  1. Written for the scenario, not from a blank box

    A schedule change, a policy update, a safety notice, difficult news: each has a shape that works, and the announcement builder writes it with the acknowledgement sheet attached, on the page, free.

  2. Every person, on the channel they actually see

    A team of 12 people contains 66 person-to-person channels, and a manager-only broadcast covers 11 of them; the guidelines tool works both figures from your own headcount. Pro keeps the roster with how each person is reached, so the frontline half of the team stops being the unreachable half.

  3. Acknowledged, dated, and chased

    On the worked example, an announcement to 20 people where 14 acknowledge unprompted leaves 6 people on the chase list after the first send, and the chase list is the whole product. Pro records each acknowledgement against the person and produces the chase list, so the answer to 'was the crew told' is a record.

Why not just use a group chat or email?

Need free-form chat all day? A group chat does that and this does not. Need the announcement to land on every person, on the channel they actually see, with a dated record of who acknowledged it? That is the product, and it is what the chat and the email thread can never show you.

EmployeeDeskHQ Pro is $29 per month for your whole team. The chat-and-email column names no vendor and quotes no vendor's price; the one competitor price this site does quote, Blink's, is licensed in research/data/claims.tsv from the vendor's own pricing page.

The message is written. Knowing who read it is EmployeeDeskHQ Pro.

The tools are free forever. Pro turns them into the record: the team roster kept once, every announcement sent from it, every acknowledgement dated against the person, the chase list produced instead of remembered, your name and logo on every sheet, and an export when anyone asks who was told and when.
