what is Twyxter?

Twyxter is a cloud-based service offered by employers that helps their employees connect based upon shared interests and activities.  These increased personal and social connections at work help companies build and strengthen their “corporate neighborhood™.”

A company-sponsored Twyxter community combines the best aspects of social networking sites, group and event management and peer-to-peer marketplaces. These private online communities connect employees in ways that create a more engaging workplace experience while making their lives easier, better and more fun.

how it works

People like being part of a caring and supportive community where they feel a personal sense of belonging and commitment. This is true of towns and neighborhoods as well as schools, universities, and workplaces. The more connected people feel within a community, the more likely they are to contribute to it.

Existing business collaboration and productivity tools are highly effective when used to manage business communications and processes. However, these “corporate” tools have not been designed to promote a wide range of meaningful personal and social connections. That’s why Twyxter is not a business tool for employees; instead, it's a personal tool for the enterprise that helps people expand their personal connections within the workforce community.

Twyxter communities foster new personal and social connections naturally, in ways that appeal to employees’ personal values and interests. Twyxter communities are built around a flexible set of features that enable participants to easily make meaningful connections with other employees while they engage in shared activities, save time and money, live more sustainably and increase involvement in volunteering and charitable giving.

why it works

When employees are more satisfied and engaged at work, they are more productive, loyal and healthy. Research paints a compelling picture of why highly engaged workforces are important to the bottom line.

challenges in the workforce

• U.S. companies lose $350 billion per year due to low employee engagement, lost productivity and voluntary turnover – approximately $2,200 for every member of the workforce! (Gallup)
• It costs 50% to 200% of an employee’s total compensation to replace someone who leaves voluntarily (Hay, Hewitt)
• 53% of workers are "checked out or looking to leave" (Mercer)
• The average job tenure for workers under 35 is only 2.5 years (Deloitte)

the power of personal & social connections

Fortunately, 20+ years of research from Gallup and others has also confirmed that stronger social relationships among employees lead to increased engagement, improved productivity, better health, and higher retention.

That’s why we work hard to help companies build friendly and engaging online communities that build connections through natural personal and social interactions. For more information on why Twyxter works, click here.
