STL-Based Company Takes On Improving Remote Employee Engagement Amid COVID-19
Bonfyre has always been committed to providing organizations with the tools they need to measure and drive employee engagement. Their service creates a single destination for every employee to participate in communication, feedback, recognition, events, and much more. With their real-time insights of worker participation, Bonfyre makes it easy for everyone to take the right engagement actions that drive measurable business outcomes.
However, since the outbreak of COVID-19, this St. Louis-based company has extended their commitment to improve remote worker isolation and employee engagement as disruption occurs in workplace relationships. In response to the pandemic, Bonfyre is offering its software at no cost for six months to local small businesses to help improve communication and connectivity.
Approximately 40% of employees in St. Louis are working remotely and many will continue to do so in modified ways for the foreseeable future. This change in workplace culture will have a big impact on many companies. With the help of Bonfyre’s software, companies will be able to create a dedicated digital space for social interaction. This will allow organizations a way to help their employees stay informed, build a community and grow relationships as we all push through these unprecedented times.
“Bonfyre’s solution helps add a human touch, whether it’s employees sharing family photos, trading recipes, or celebrating achievements. Having a dedicated space for maintaining and building strong relationships is especially important, so that people have as close to the experience of walking by each other’s desks as possible, just in a virtual way.” said Matt Hall, President of Hill Investment Group, a Bonfyre client.
Organizations are turning to digital platforms designed to improve the employee experience during this time. Over the last quarter, Bonfyre has seen a 200% increase in user activity. “Happy and connected workers are the heart of any business’ success. To thrive in the new world of work, we need technology to get work done and to build human connection with our work and the people we work with,” said Mark Sawyier, CEO and Co-Founder of Bonfyre. “We are proud to be based in St. Louis and want to do whatever we can to help other businesses navigate and emerge out of this crisis stronger.”
