Bath PR consultant Neil Whitehead and learning and development professional Jane Davidson have drawn on their decades of experience to launch a simple, easy-to-use way for managers to communicate with a mobile workforce.
Called VOZ, it is downloaded to workers’ smartphones so they can receive targeted information anytime, anywhere. 
Unlike blanket emails, which can be overwhelming, VOZ can target information so that employees only receive relevant content.
Managers choose who sees what based on their geographical location, branch or job title. An easy-to-use dashboard allows users to create or link to existing content – information, news, company announcements, social activities and any other form of communication – then send out to the workforce at the touch of a button.
Jane, who has specialised in digital content development for many years, said: “So many employees I speak to feel disengaged and disillusioned with the way their employers communicate – or don’t communicate – with them in the workplace.
“With almost everyone owning a smartphone, VOZ feels like the natural way to keep in touch and make employees feel involved.”
VOZ has a completely different feel to other corporate communication channels with a focus on clean, bite-sized snippets of news, information and graphics that will instantly engage your employees.
Its intuitive interface is easy to navigate with content displayed in bespoke categories and a newsfeed that’s updated in real-time.
Neil, who has worked in public relations and communications for 17 years and owns Bath-based consultancy Propaganda PR, added: “I’ve spent years making sure my clients get great exposure, successfully promoting their brands to the masses.
“I soon realised that internal communication, which is equally as important, was being overlooked… until now. VOZ engages your staff – your ambassadors and the lifeblood of your business – empowering them to buy into your brand and company culture.”
Jane’s particular passion and expertise lies in communicating with people, whether it be online, in print or face to face.
Neil has managed campaigns for some of the UK’s biggest brands – everything from pasties and luxury hotels to ground-breaking money-saving smart phone apps and restaurant chains.
