Reach & targeted announcements
How this is scored
How a message reaches every employee: a news feed and announcements on phone, browser and shared devices, targeting by site, department, role and language, access for staff without a company email address (invite codes, phone number, personnel number, QR codes, kiosk or shared devices), push notifications, mandatory reading with read confirmation, urgent alerts, scheduled posts, and reach analytics per message and audience.
0 — Not a communication tool; the company cannot publish news or announcements to employees in the product.
3 — A news feed or announcement channel for employees with company accounts; targeting, access without a company email address and reach figures are basic or not described.
5 — News and announcements targeted by group, site or role, delivered to a mobile app with push notifications and to the browser, employees without a company email address able to log in, and views or reach shown per post.
8 — Targeting by site, department, role and language from HR data, login documented for staff without email or company devices (personnel number, SMS code, shared devices), mandatory reading with read confirmation and reminders, urgent alerts that override quiet settings, scheduled and multi-channel posts (app, email, intranet, screens), and reach analytics per audience.
10 — Reach that can be proved: delivery and reading tracked per channel against the whole workforce, offline access and low-bandwidth delivery documented, crisis messages with acknowledgement and escalation, aggregated reports exportable, and the reach analytics described with the data they use.
The Data Protection Officer
Messages are pushed rather than pulled across the Employee App on mobile and desktop, screensavers, digital signage and desktop pop-ups, with targeting by role, department, location and device and Entra ID attributes, scheduled posts, a reach preview before publishing, and statistics on readers, opens, clicks and acknowledgements. Emergency communication is documented with pre-built scenarios, priority levels, acknowledgments and SMS notifications. We found no public information on access for staff without a company email address or on language targeting drawn from HR data. 1 4 5 6 10 12
