YOUR PEOPLE ARE LEAVING FASTER THAN YOU CAN REPLACE THEM
Every departure restarts an expensive cycle: recruit, onboard, cover the gap with overtime and agency labor, repeat. The root cause is often quieter than pay - staff feel unheard, uninformed, and unseen. Email and the intranet never reach the floor. Texting does: it lands in seconds, gets read, and opens a two-way conversation that makes people feel like they belong.
98% of texts are opened, most within 3 minutes
5x more likely to stay when recognized by their manager

CASE STUDY
EMPLOYEE WELLNESS SMS
REAL RESULTS
With six weeks to the deadline, only one in five employees had completed their wellness activities - and anyone who missed it faced a premium surcharge. The organization's wellness partner turned to Dialog Health. Using the self-service console, they launched a 30-day two-way text campaign: personalized reminders based on each employee's progress, automated replies, and a congratulations text for those who finished - about seven messages per person over four weeks. The result: 5,079 additional employees completed their activities before the deadline, and management reported staff were "engaged and happy."
19% → 58% participation across all plan members
70% of targeted employees completed their activities
78% said the texts helped them finish and avoid a surcharge
82% recommended making text reminders permanent

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does texting improve healthcare employee retention?
Because it gets read. Around 98% of texts are opened - most within minutes - versus roughly 20% of internal emails, and more than 83% of frontline workers don't even have a corporate email address. When staff actually receive shift options, onboarding support, recognition, and a channel to be heard, they feel connected - and connected employees stay. Gallup finds employees who are consistently acknowledged by their managers are five times more likely to stay.
Is texting employees HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Dialog Health is built for healthcare and adheres to HIPAA, TCPA, CTIA, and SOC II standards from hosting and storage through processing and transmission. Employee messages rarely need any protected health information, and the platform manages opt-ins and opt-outs at the individual level to keep you compliant.
Do employees need to download an app?
No. Dialog Health is cloud-based and works over standard SMS. There's no app to download and no login to forget - messages arrive in the text inbox your staff already check every day.
Can we send messages by department, unit, role, or shift?
Yes. Segment your workforce by unit, role, location, shift, credential, or any custom group, so an open-shift alert or update reaches exactly the right people - not everyone.
Can we see who read a message?
Yes. AnalyticsPRO provides real-time delivery receipts, read and click tracking, and response data, so you know who saw a message, who acted on it, and who needs a follow-up.
Can messages go out in multiple languages?
Yes. AI Translator automatically sends messages and reads inbound replies in 130+ languages, so environmental services, dietary staff, CNAs, and international nurses all get the message in their preferred language - without adding interpreter workload.
How fast can we launch?
Fast. The platform is cloud-based with an easy-to-use console and best-practice templates, backed by a client success team that guides implementation and go-live. Most teams are up and running quickly using the computers and tablets they already have.
