Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I have used Jostle a little over a year now to engage with staff through the News bulletins feature as well as storing important documents/job aids for the team to have readily available via the intranet so they do not have to be chained to a PC all the time. Having job aids available on the teams phones has been a huge help and they love it. I also love being able to connect with my coworkers and celebrate their birthdays, work anniversaries or shout outs. I have not experienced any issues while using Jostle so I am unable to speak about any problems or issues. I think Jostle is a great product.
Pros
- News Bulletins
- Quick Links
- Library
- Tracking who has read your Must Read bulletins
Cons
- I have not experienced any issues with Jostle
Return on Investment
- Positive: Being able to access the Library from the Jostle app on our phones while out in the field working with patients is incredible.
- Positive: Being able to send an important memo and having the team sign off that they read it. As the manager being able to track who has read the memo and who hasn't.
