Emails, apps, and intranet vs. chatbots for employees and enterprises
A challenge that both employees and the management team face in an enterprise is sharing information across demographics, departments, etc. This can be achieved through: emails, mobile apps, or intranet. While the first two are ‘push’ media, the third option is a ‘pull’ medium.
Enterprise heads often push or broadcast information through emails or mobile apps to their employees, however, they have no control on whether the intended information has reached the respective person and whether he or she has looked at it.
On the other hand, employees utilize the intranet to pull data related to business happenings, news, leaves or travel data, etc. but can’t interact with the respective person through the same channel.
The problem with accessing data by the first two methods, email and intranet, is that it is mundane for healthcare, manufacturing and logistics users as they will not be chained to their laptops or desktops.
Chatbots can create an ocean of difference in an enterprise as they help users access data without breaking a sweat. Above all, the future tool’s voice search facility makes the data search easier and presents requested data instantly to the user.
So, both employees and enterprise heads will be mutually benefited by this system.
Intensive HR processes that chatbots can transform
- Recruitment

Other chatbot benefits for employees include
- Voice searching for any business-related information and get answers instantly
- Search, find and share data with anyone in the organization without breaking a sweat
