Workvivo review

Workvivo treats the intranet as a social feed first. Its interface mirrors consumer apps such as Facebook and Instagram, and personalized news feeds follow the teams, locations and topics each employee chooses. For comms teams, the toolkit covers leadership livestreams, podcasts and a ghost writing aid, multi-step campaigns that span posts, email, surveys and Journeys, and real-time analysis of each campaign. Event-triggered Journeys handle onboarding and policy rollouts, and auto-translation sends content in each employee's own language. Frontline features include chat, voice and video calls, shoutouts, and Workvivo TV, which shows company news on on-site screens without logins or devices. Spaces, peer updates and employee spotlights give staff their own voice in the feed. Workvivo is part of Zoom. Pricing depends on the number of licences and your needs, and the company states it does not offer a free trial, only a demo.
