Seneca employees celebrating the launch of the WorkVivo platform.

Workvivo to work with Native American gaming company

A Douglas company has signed a contract to work with a casino and resort company in the US, run on behalf of the Seneca Nation of Indians.

Employee engagement firm Workvivo has teamed up with the Seneca Gaming Corporation.

Workvivo will provide an employee engagement app to manage Seneca’s employee engagement with their team members across all of their three resort and casino properties.

Formed only two years ago, Workvivo is already one of the world’s fastest growing providers of internal communications for companies worldwide. Since 2017, Workvivo is being used to engage employees across Ireland, the UK, the USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia, Singapore and China.

Workvivo will provide an app to Seneca Gaming Corporation and it will roll out to all team members in the US before the end of the year. The app is called Inside 8 which is in reference to the Seneca Gaming Corporation’s HR platform which is branded TheBest8Hours.com and boasts that working with Seneca can be the best eight hours of your day.

Workvivo co-founder, John Goulding said: “We are very excited to be working with Seneca Gaming Corporation. Employee engagement and a positive employee experience is important for Seneca, and we at Workvivo share the same philosophy. Seneca have big plans for the platform and we’re looking forward to seeing where they take it.”

Holly Gagnon, President and CEO, Seneca Gaming Corporation said: “We are passionate about engaging with our team members as well as our guests. Our team members are our first customer and in order for them to provide excellent customer service, they need to be informed. We were looking for a new platform to increase employee engagement and strengthen our communication and Workvivo was the best fit for our needs.”

Seneca Gaming Corporation is one of the largest private sector employers in Western New York, with over 3,700 employees at three locations. These include: Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino in Buffalo and Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in Salamanca.

Workvivo is the communication platform based on social media experience.
