Home-working moves into the mainstream We’re sure there are many consequences that will result from the Covid-19 pandemic, both known and unknown. One such dramatic consequence evident from the very beginning was the need to transfer as many employees as possible, as soon as possible, into working from home.After the initial shock, to the surprise of most onlookers, it appears that actually, home-workers can be just as productive, and often more so, than employees in a 9-5 office environment. Consequently, large corporations are currently evaluating their accepted beliefs in terms of the need for a ‘big city office(s)’ as they realise the financial and social benefits of employees who no longer have to suffer the daily commute, get to see their families more and, without the typical interruptions that are part and parcel of office life, are able to get more work done in far less time. So, how do you ensure your employees don’t become casualties of home-working? First of all, one tip we can share from clients who have always had remote workers, is to make sure your company mission and goals are shared and regularly emphasised. Schoop has a News and Engagement section that can be used as an inclusive tool so that even though there is no longer a watercooler to gather around, employees still feel a part of the team, see familiar faces and are reminded that they are not alone. Of course, home-working can be an isolating and lonely experience for some, and with the best will in the world, not all managers and colleagues will be able to pick up the warning signs of low mood or worse in former office mates. Schoop can help, offering a forms and surveys option to take the pulse of your organisation. This instant feedback gives you the time to spot potential issues and address them before they become a problem. Although stuck at home, administration tasks must still be fulfilled. Schoop can translate essential company data into over 40 languages, and disseminate important news and announcements instantly to all employees, teams or individuals directly to the smartphone in their pocket. Speak to Schoop to find out how we can help you retain your company’s most valuable asset – your employees. #schoop #employeeengagement

NATIONAL EARTH DAY Happy Earth Day everyone. #NationalEarthDay

Technology builds bridges between parents and school. According to Oxford academics Feinstein and Symons, not even pupil-teacher ratio has as great an effect on student attainment as parental engagement, with parents’ interest in their child’s education being the single greatest predictor of achievement at age 16. (1999) In our latest blog, we examine exactly what is ‘parental engagement’ and discuss how technology is successfully bridging the gap between parents and schools. What is parental engagement? Parental engagement in schools is defined as ‘a shared responsibility in which schools are committed to reaching out to involve parents in their child’s education.’ Engaging parents has been shown to increase academic development, social skills and general school behaviour, including reducing absenteeism. Anyone who has ever tried to understand what exactly their child is studying at the end of a school day has been trying to be an engaged parent. The typical answer of ‘nothing’ to the question of ‘what did you do today?’ resounds with most parents, and increasingly busy lives mean that a chat with the teacher at the school gates is out of the question. Schools have found that social media, text messages and emails have practically taken the place of face-to-face conversations as technology becomes a virtual bridge between schools and parents keen to facilitate their child’s studies. Technology facilitates school communication Frequently schools are using Twitter and Facebook to show parents what their children are up to during school hours, a handy use for social media. However, this is a blunt tool – schools can’t bombard their feeds with all classes and subjects. Schoop can be invaluable in giving teachers a way to focus information per class: detailing topic subjects, introducing concepts that parents can discuss with their child or flagging upcoming projects so parents can help students prepare in advance. #schoop#parentalengagment#communication

Didn’t you know? Schoop isn’t just for schools – we also help you encourage social engagement. Maybe you run a drama society and need to let members know rehearsal times have changed? Or a leisure centre and want to inform users of class times and swimming hours? How about a library, and you want to engage users in events, facilities and opening times? You naturally want all members as engaged as possible, as the more engaged they are the more successful your club or society will tend to be. As parents and staff using Schoop in their schools realise they need Schoop’s functionality in other areas of their lives, we are getting more and more requests from societies and businesses who are realising just how much they need us! In fact, Schoop is a flexible engagement tool whose functionality can be applied to virtually any arena where one party needs to keep in touch with another – bundled up in a package to provide a range of features that far surpasses basic text messages. Push notifications: Need to change a rehearsal date? Has your venue changed? Text messages will do the trick. Or you could send a push notification. Push notifications, unlike text messages, are unlimited and absolutely free. Send as many as you like, up to 500 characters even, and they will still be free. Forms and surveys: A great way to canvas opinion and maintain engagement, forms and surveys are a strong tool to show your members that their opinion matters. Surveys can also be anonymous, so you know you are getting honest feedback. You can even use the e-signature facility (which is legally binding, by the way) to gain online consent. Whether it’s about which novel the book club wants to review this month, what nibbles you want to serve while you discuss it, or weightier club constitution matters, this feature is as flexible as you want it to be and we are excited to think there are probably a myriad of applications that haven’t even been considered yet. Newsletter: How did your last event go? Want to share it with the friends and family who attended, or wanted to but couldn’t? Instead of going to the trouble, and expense, of printing out a newsletter, simply upload your photos, rich text and videos to our news and engagement feature. They will then have an account of the event in their pocket, to keep and enjoy as many times as they like. If you’re trying to keep costs down, this could be the saving you’re looking for. Interactive calendar: Our interactive calendar becomes the backbone of any organisation that’s using it, making sure that all members know what they should be doing and when. Administrators can set up automated alarms, reminders and encouragement to make sure that everyone is in the right place at the right time. GDPR compliant: Boxes ticked when users download the app, no need to worry about complicated data privacy.
