Share news, run quick polls and ask open questions in one company feed inside the EZTime app, and see who read and responded.
The short answer: hourly and field employees rarely read email, and news shared in chats disappears fast. The company feed gives every post a place in the app, with reactions, read confirmations and polls.
1
Create a new post from the app or the web.
2
Pick a post, poll or open question and who should see it.
3
Employees read, react, vote or answer in the app.
4
Managers see responses and who has read each post.
What managers and employees actually work with, step by step.
Share an update, ask an open question, run a quick survey or ask employees to confirm they read something important.
Write a clear title, add the details and attach a file, a photo from the camera or an image from the gallery.
Employees react with Like or Thanks and comment, and survey results can be exported to Excel.
Hourly teams rarely read email. The feed lives in the app they already use to clock in.
Share news, wins and reminders with photos.
Ask a question and get answers in two taps.
Collect ideas and feedback from the team.
Require employees to confirm they read a post.
Control whether answers are visible to everyone.
Managers see results; employees see the feed.
Post regularly but briefly, mix operational updates with recognition, and use read confirmations only for posts that truly matter. Close the loop on polls by sharing what you decided.
A company feed only works if something worth reading appears regularly, and if people get an answer when they ask. Here is a sample month for a 40-person business with two locations. The names are fictional, the post types are the ones the EZTime feed supports: posts, open questions, surveys and read confirmations, with likes, thanks and comments.
| Week | Post | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Welcome two new hires at the downtown location, with a photo | Post |
| 1 | Updated break room rules | Post with read confirmation |
| 2 | Which shift start time works better for the summer schedule? | Survey |
| 3 | What is one thing that slows you down on a busy shift? | Open question |
| 3 | Thanks to the weekend crew for covering a sick call | Post |
| 4 | Results of the shift-time survey and the decision | Post |
Survey results in EZTime export to Excel, so you can compare locations or keep the answers with the decision.
Use read confirmations for posts employees are expected to know about, such as a new policy or a safety reminder, not for every post. If everything needs confirming, people tap through without reading. Managers can see who has confirmed and follow up with the rest in person.
Give posting rights to the managers and a few people who know what is happening on the floor. The feed should sound like the company, not like a newsletter template. For one-way messages to a specific group, such as a closing change at one store, use announcements by app or SMS instead.
Here is how a typical business might use the company feed: A hotel uses the feed to welcome new staff, share guest compliments and run a quick poll on the next team event. For a new safety procedure, management requires a read confirmation and sees who still needs to open it.
