Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. EmployeeDeskHQ publishes no acknowledgement rate, no engagement benchmark and no response-time standard: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own team's figures.

Employee communication software is bought the day a message that mattered did not land: the shift change half the crew never saw, the policy update nobody can prove was read. What the software has to do is narrower than any feature tour: write the message properly, put it on the channel each person actually sees, and record who acknowledged it, dated, against the person. The free tools on this site do the writing half without an account; EmployeeDeskHQ Pro keeps the roster, sends the announcement and records every acknowledgement.

The message, written for its scenario

A schedule change, a safety notice and difficult news each have a shape that works, and software that opens with a blank box has already failed the person writing at seven in the morning. The announcement builder on this site writes the example for the scenario, free, with the acknowledgement sheet attached.

The reach, per person

The roster records how each person is actually reached, the app, a text, the noticeboard, the huddle, and the announcement goes out on those channels. Software that assumes everyone opens an inbox is office software; a team with a frontline half needs the channel recorded per person.

The record, dated

Every acknowledgement lands against the person with a date, and the chase list is produced rather than remembered. When someone asks whether the crew was told, the answer is a record, which is the thing the software is actually for.

What it costs

Per-user pricing punishes the growing team. From the vendor's own pricing page: Blink lists Core at $5.60 per user per month billed monthly or $3.75 billed annually, and Pro at $7.00 monthly or $5.00 annually. EmployeeDeskHQ Pro is $29 per month for the whole team, which undercuts the per-user benchmark from six seats.

Employee communication software: common questions

What should employee communication software do?

Write the message, reach every person on their real channel, and record dated acknowledgements with a chase list. Everything else is decoration on those three.

Is there a free version?

The tools on this site, the announcement builder, guidelines, strategy grid and checklist, all work free on the page with no account. Pro is the roster, the sending and the record.

How is this different from a group chat?

A chat shows messages; it cannot show who has NOT seen one. The acknowledgement record and the chase list are the difference.
