Your App Supercharger Ideas for November!

Here's November's monthly roundup of examples and ideas to supercharge your app and make it MUST HAVE for your employees!

1st November: Movember 🥸

For No Shave November, use your employee app to encourage your male employees to sign up for the Movember app to start growing their moustaches and to share their Mo Space to raise donations for their chosen men's health causes. You could also ask them to share their distinguished and manly moustache progress pics to a dedicated Movember UGC List in your app, where they can also share their own Mo Space links with their colleagues!

In-App Interactive Employee Onboarding 📌

One of the best ways to ensure consistent, ongoing usage of your app is to introduce it to your new employees as part of their company onboarding experience. Dedicate a space in your app where new employees can complete their basic company onboarding tasks, like completion of training modules, watching and signing-off video training with our Acknowledgements feature, and learning about your organisation's culture and values.

Get your new employees to log in to your app on day one and have them complete their basic sign-offs for tasks like IT Security, Health & Safety, Social Media Policy, and so on, like the example shown below!

13th November: Gift Your Employees for World Kindness Day ☺️

Usually, we'd encourage you to create a space in your app for employees to share their thoughtful examples of kindness they've received from their colleagues and customers. But this time, why not switch it up and instead, demonstrate the caring and kindness that you have for your employees?

Use your Thrive app to give your staff a small token of appreciation for all their hard work throughout the year by sending them a small gift through the Thrive Locker feature. Something like a PDF voucher for a free coffee from the canteen for example, always goes down well! And because it's exclusive to your app, it also has the added benefit of encouraging non app users to download and try it out!

Vote & Take Orders for Your Staff Christmas Dinner 🎄

It's getting to that time of year where managers are starting to think about making restaurant bookings for the Staff Christmas Dinner. Use an embedded poll in your Thrive app to allow employees to vote for where they want it to be held this year. Use the Thrive Planner to invite the team and get RSVPs for attendance. Then use the new Thrive Formbuilder feature that has just gone live this week to create an order form in your app to take their orders from the menu!

If various departments are organising their own Christmas outings, combine this with content segmentation so that each team or department can have their own poll, that only they can see and vote on!

Recognise Milestone Work Anniversaries 📅

Use your app to recognise colleagues' milestone work anniversaries: Rather than making one-off single posts about each employee, you should aim to make the milestone anniversaries a regular feature. Something like once a month in your app's newsfeed, to highlight colleagues who have reached 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, etc with the company. These kinds of posts are a great way of showing thanks and appreciation for loyalty and longevity, and in our experience are the exact kind of content that often encourages app engagement through the comments section, as other employees see the post and are eager to congratulate and wish the highlighted employees well. If you have the capacity, you might even consider having a bit of a Q&A with some of the long-service milestone employees. Given they've been there so long, we imagine that they must have some good things to say about the organisation!

And after you've published the post, make sure to go in the comments yourself to @mention the milestone employees so they get a notification to let them know they've been mentioned in your app!
