Workvivo’s Digital Signage solution enables you to set up a TV Dashboard on-screen in a staff common area or open plan office and provides the opportunity for colleagues to see what’s happening across the business in an easy-to-consume way.
Choose the most relevant audience for your dashboard to help highlight important updates or a particular campaign (Global and or Spaces and or Teams). For example, if you're running a Health & Wellbeing challenge through a space, you could point the Dashboard at just that Space and colleagues will see the posts and leader board updates flow through as they happen.
