Modern intranet startup Haystack announces Connect, a tool to foster deeper relationships among colleagues
Haystack, the modern intranet company making big companies feel smaller, rolled out Connect - a feature that uses first-party employee-profile data to intelligently pair employees to support better work friendships, facilitate mentor-mentee relationships, and bring colleagues together on a deeper level. The feature is intended to alleviate pain points common for a remote workforce – such as the inability to brainstorm over lunch or celebrate each other's successes in person – and help cultivate the types of long-lasting connections that can support employee retention and growth.
Cameron Lindsay, CEO and Co-founder, Haystack: "Building strong relationships at work can mean the difference between engagement and retention; disengagement and turnover. Helping people find camaraderie at work through a set of shared connections and interests – even across great distances – is one way to build strong, resilient teams."
Connect is part of a broad set of features within Haystack's platform. Through Connect, organizations with or without an in-person campus can all foster strong working relationships between employees. This is just the latest innovation from Haystack, a platform where employees can receive important announcements, discover knowledge about the company they work for, and communicate with coworkers.
Earlier this year, the company announced Secure Delivery - a feature that helps keep internal communications internal, and protect employees from accidentally sharing sensitive information. Haystack will continue to launch features that foster employee connections, growth, and success in the remote age.
