As an organisation, communication between all employees is crucial. You may use an external messaging platform, such as Slack, that acts as your primary communication feature for your employees. If so, you can use our Slack integration so you can post announcements from your HR company feed onto Slack automatically. This will alert employees to any announcements through the Employment Hero platform and dedicated Slack channel.
