Event Registration – Manage Events with an Employee App

Overview

A great way to motivate and engage employees is to invite them to a special event. Company picnics and other events bring employees together and create feelings of comradery. Employee morale can make or break your organization. Employees with poor attitudes reduce the efficiency and productivity of your business. On the other hand, employees with a higher and more positive morale have a better attitude towards their work, maintain higher levels of customer service, and are much more productive in the workplace. It is absolutely essential to boost employee morale, ensuring that none of your employees are left feeling disgruntled.

A survey is a great way to register employees for company-wide events. A CSV file showing all of the participants can be easily exported. You can use the event registration plugin for workshops with a limited number of participants.

There are different ways an app can support an event:

Register participants with the Event Registration plugin.
Query specific data with a survey.
Share important information with a static page.
Keep employees up-to-date during events with a special event news channel.
Measure the mood of your employees with a pulse survey.
Gather feedback following an event with a survey.

Edit event registration and give your event a name, date, and time. Set a limited number of participants for your event, categorize where it will be displayed in your admin area, and see which employees have signed up.

Edit categories: You can create different event categories such as “company party,” “workshop,” “meeting,” or “team-building.” Give your different categories different colors for even easier identification.

For easy findability create an event folder where employees can locate all information. Create the folder in menu settings in the app administration.
