Tyson Foods got hit hard last spring when one of their plants experienced a coronavirus outbreak resulting in 3 employee deaths. To prevent a recurrence of this, Tyson made major investments this fall in protective measures and technologies to safeguard their staff. Part of that safety protocol necessarily means effective and fast employee communications.
For this, they turned to Mobivity’s Unified Mobile Messaging. Using this technology gave Tyson an important edge. Unified Mobile Messaging features that matched Tyson's strategy:
- The ability to send out text messages in various languages
- Broadcasting — being able to send out a message to the entire organization across multiple locations
- Data-driven filtering of the text message send-outs, allowing a company the ability to target a specific location or employee type
