Thundermist Health Center uses the HubEngage Employee Communications Platform to communicate with its employees. It is this employee app that won gold at the NESHCo’s Annual Lamplighter Awards under the Potpourri category. Here’s what the app was all about.
Company Information
Thundermist Health Center is a federally qualified non-profit healthcare center. Based out of Rhode Island, Thundermist has 3 locations – Woonsocket. West Warwick, Wakefield with an admin location in Warwick. Their mission is to “improve the health of patients and communities by delivering exceptional health care, removing barriers to that care, and advancing healthy lifestyles.”
Problem
They were looking for a way to streamline all their communications with their employees as well as look for a way to make sure that all information is readily available, categorized, and easy to consume. While they were using other platforms to house their information, they found that it was all over the place leaving employees a bit confused when looking for answers. This led to employees having more questions than answers and feeling disconnected.
Solution
The HubEngage platform was customized to fit Thundermist’s specific needs. Admin, HR, and management were able to post content and information targeted at specific locations and teams. Employees had an internal social platform where they could share their experiences, and help one another. The platform also enabled two-way communication between management and employees.
