Summary
Companies are also spending countless hours on Zoom at a time where studies are now emerging indicating that fatigue from virtual interactions is taxing the psyche, leading to decreased concentration. On Spokn, companies can easily record and share internal podcasts that are more personal than email or Slack and give employees a healthy break from their Zoom screens. Consistent communication matters more than ever when companies are remote, but existing tools weren’t built for it: email is impersonal, Slack is too noisy, and Zoom fatigue is real. Podcasting is a uniquely good format for building communication and culture in dispersed teams: it’s easy to produce, avoids scheduling problems, is more intimate than email and Slack, and gives employees a healthy break from their screens. On the customer side, we’re building a knowledge base for practices for podcasting at work – from how-to guides for CEO updates to interview questions for fun employee spotlights.
