Introist helps people operations to save time and improve the employee experience by automating simple but crucial tasks. The most common use cases are employee onboarding, offboarding, learning paths, and communication around internal events. By automating messaging and calendar invitations in these moments, HR and managers can work on their most demanding tasks + still deliver equal and personalised experiences for every employee. New hires and employees get useful content to their email inbox and Slack whenever is the right time - on their starting date, promotion day, or for example leaving for maternity leave. You can even improve employee engagement by sparking up 1-1 conversations scheduling them or automatically based on events in your other HR platforms. Introist makes sure everything gets done with machine-like precision and people can work on what matters the most; people.
