News publishing in Sparrow is simple and intuitive via the central News Center. We’ve made it easy to add content, pictures and video for a rich article creation experience.
For improved reach, news articles can be targeted to specific audience groups using organization-specific news channels. Employees can then subscribe or unsubscribe from these channels on the desktop or mobile app.
Enhance engagement with news articles by enabling features like reactions, commenting and social sharing.
What better way to communicate than in your audiences preferred language?
Sparrow administrators can now author posts in a multitude of languages. Better yet – your audience can select their own language preference for consuming information. If a post is available, Sparrow will automatically show it in their preferred language.
Got an important update that you need to make sure everyone has seen and explicitly confirmed? Sparrow’s Compliance Post feature is just the tool you need to track and confirm compliance.
Simply mark your post as ‘Compliance’ and it will be pinned to the top of the mobile app feed and will also show intranet-users that it requires special attention. Administrators can easily track who has seen the post and who has complied – aiming to reach that goal of 100% compliance.
Sometimes, you need to share news to a more limited audience rather than a public broadcast. By connecting with Active Directory, Sparrow allows you to create closed-audience groups based on region, role, or other filters. From “Toronto Team” to “Leadership”, you can author posts with the comfort of knowing that only your intended audience will receive them.
Extend the reach of your internal communications beyond the office to your remote and field-based workers. The Sparrow mobile app makes it easy for all employees to react and respond to news, whenever and wherever they may be working.
Enable reactions and commenting to drive engagement or turn on push notifications to communicate urgent message.
Security is easy with O365 or authentication through third-parties like Facebook, Google, or LinkedIn.
Empower communication teams to measure performance and make strategic decisions based on real-time data.
The Sparrow analytics dashboard provides an overview of communication performance, showcasing the KPI’s that affect communication outcomes and enable strategic decision making.
Sparrow analytics dive deeper to capture valuable data on traffic and reach, read analysis, topic awareness and more.
Give your team another reason to engage with one another through Sparrow Marketplace. Invite your team to connect through ad posting, buying, selling and trading, the promotion of corporate discounts, and more!
Encourage your employees to submit their ideas, vote on their favorites, and provide management through workflows to put top-rated ideas into action.
