Empxtrack offers a platform to make important announcements and post feeds. Social Feed allows employees to view updates on Rewards, Work Anniversaries, Birthdays, Promotion and New Joinees.
Through Social Feed, employees can make a public announcement or add a feed about themselves or others. Each feed goes through an approval process. This gives a platform to employees to encourage interactions and boosts employee engagement.
