(Graphic: Business Wire) According to Gallup's State of the American Worker report, 70% of US workers are disengaged, costing companies $3,000 per employee annually and costing the U.S. $450 Billion.1 Phobio saw this issue escalating especially in the retail wireless space and developed Rodio to combat a vicious cycle. The more wireless stores a company has, the more people they need to hire, and those teams of people need motivation. Therefore retail management is always trying to create engaged teams that are informed, competitive and united across sometimes dozens of stores but finding it difficult to do consistently. "It's hard to communicate effectively in command structure organizations, but the good news for companiestrying to get employee engagement right is that it's directly tied to higher earnings," said Phobio CEO, Stephen Wakeling. Rodio is geared towards fostering these topical conversations amongst in-store customer facing teams to create engagement and drive more sales. We know that real change occurs at the local, workgroup level, but it only happens when company leaders set the tone from the top. To that end, we are actively listening to our customers to continuously build a smarter and simpler platform to engage their teams." Here's how it works, Rodio is downloaded by employees from the iTunes store or Google (News - Alert) Play; they log in and are instantly looped into their company's community. Differentiators and highlights include:
"There are a lot of communication platforms, but few we've found have the security, compliance and administrative aspects that we need as a large enterprise," said Tiff Polmateer, Chief of Staff, Spring Mobile. "Rodio is just the product we were looking for, with the automation and integration that we need on the back end and the fun, user-friendly front end that our young sales teams enjoy." "With over 41% of millennials communicating electronically at work, rather than face-to-face or over the phone," continued Wakeling, "Rodio is perfectly positioned to fill the gap in helping companies communicate to this group that makes up the largest generation in the retail workforce to date." About Phobio: Phobio was created by people who share a philosophy about how software should work and how business should be done. Upon discovering some obvious shortcomings in the retail mobile trade-in industry, they created a better solution. In 2010, Phobio officially launched Safetrade to deliver a simple service for retailers: high-value trade-ins on the most products with the lowest adjustment rates. Phobio is headquartered in Georgia but has multiple receiving facilities worldwide including Canada, Italy and Australia.
