Connect, inspire and engage employees with Social Feed by Yapp

NEW YORK - Sept. 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Yapp, a mobile app creation platform, ideal for employee engagement apps, announced a new feature today - Social Feed. This feature aims to enhance the employee experience by allowing them to network, interact and connect with each other. With Social Feed, employees can 'like' and comment on other posts much like Facebook in addition to posting their own photos, comments and questions.

"We designed Social Feed with one simple idea in mind: A private social community within the employee engagement app," said Maria Seidman, co-founder and CEO of Yapp. "We want employees, no matter where they are located, to have one place to join in and monitor the digital action going on at the company. Social Feed eliminates the need to use Facebook, Twitter or anything else by bringing social networking features to the employee engagement app."

The goal with Social Feed is to facilitate social interactions amongst employees resulting in increased employee engagement, satisfaction and retention. It is a win-win for everyone involved: Employees can interact with each other, training teams can inspire field sales staff and senior managers can gather real-time feedback. This is how you boost employee engagement with mobile apps.

Social Feed comes with the following capabilities:

• Employees can write a comment or share a photo from their mobile device.
• Other employees can 'like' the photo or comment posted by a peer. Yapp plans to release other reactions in the coming months.
• Employees can also comment on a previous post allowing them to have a back-and-forth conversation right in the Social Feed.
• Social Feed is also a great public yet fun outlet for peer recognition.
• The best part about these reactions is that app users will be notified via a push notifications when someone comments or likes on their posts bringing them back to the app and increasing overall app usage.
• Finally, if an employee makes a mistake while posting something, they can easily edit or delete their posts.

"With our new Social Feed feature, we've focused relentlessly on one-step setup for employers and being completely natural and easy to use for employees. Everyone can instinctively engage with this feature, and enrich and deepen their experiences. It's a great example of everything we strive for in our product development efforts," shares Yapp co-founder and CTO, Luke Melia.

Pricing and availability

Social Feed is available immediately and can be added to any Yapp apps, including demo apps created during the free trial. For more information on Yapp visit: www.yapp.us.
