a text - employees always click

onto a mobile website,
accessible to trainees

benefits guide
5. Keep engagements bite-sized;
-- 3 to 5 minutes

9. Secret Ingredients
● Employees self enroll in various lists by sending a text
● Send a text with a link to the mobile web platform
○ The text is the nudge and the link takes them to the
engagement page
● Schedule the sending of text by calendar date or by
sequence
● Mobile web site turns into a portal of content or links to
where you store content, such as important
documentation, forms or training material
● Leaderboards add competition and gaming to the
experience
