CEO Delivers Daily Messages To More Than 700 Locations

TROY, Ohio - June 5, 2014 - PRLog -- The bureaucracy of a large hotel chain doesn’t get in the way of communicating directly with employees for Jim Donald, the CEO of Extended Stay America. Donald uses a mass messaging service to send daily notices to keep employees focused and on track with company initiatives.

“After investigating and testing the product options, One Call Now’s messaging service best fit our needs,” said Joe Brunson, the company’s senior HSIA vendor coordinator/telecom analyst. The service sends both text and voice messages, but Donald creates personal messages and sends them via voice phone calls. “Voice messages are preferred because they carry the personality with them,” explains Brunson.

Although primarily used for everyday informational messaging, the service also provides Extended Stay America with a reliable emergency communications system.
