Make Steeple accessible to everyone

Internal communication must be universal

Every employee, whatever their role or tools, must be able to access Steeple. As a communications professional, the role of the referent is strategic: they are the guarantor of information accessibility.

Step 1: carry out an accessibility audit

Before taking any action, start with a current situation assessment to understand how employees can or cannot access Steeple.

To audit

• Professional equipment :

  • Work smartphone?

  • Work computer?

• Digital access :

  • Professional email address?

• On-site presence :

  • Regularly passing through the break room, reception area, locker room, or another common area?

Tip: centralize this information in a file shared with the team or HR, and sort it by type of access.

Step 2: set up the right channels

Once the audit is complete, adapt Steeple's distribution methods according to employee profiles.

For employees with a work smartphone

Automatic pre-installation of the Steeple app via MDM (Mobile Device Management).

For employees with a work email

Automatic activation of the Steeple summary email (every morning or every week).

For employees with a computer

Set Steeple as the browser home page.

Step 3: equip living areas with touch screens

For employees without digital access, the alternative is physical display via Steeple screens.

Steeple phygital

The phygital, means combining the best of the physical and the digital. It is the answer to communication silos between offices and field teams.

The 3 pillars

• Interactive touch screen in living areas (break room, reception, etc.)

• Mobile app to interact and express yourself

• Web platform accessible to all

Result: a single tool, accessible to everyone, that brings teams together.

Best practices for touch screens

Choosing the equipment

• Touch screens capacitive touch (more durable, easier to clean)

• Box Android (Elo) or Chrome OS

• Fixed wall mount or fixed stand depending on needs

Recommended sizes

• 43" for standard spaces

• 55" for high-traffic areas

• 24"/32" for secondary locations

Ideal location

• At eye level (~150 cm)

• Near the coffee machine or in a high-traffic area

• With no visible cables, and no clutter in front

Technical requirements

• Ethernet connection (preferred over Wi‑Fi)

• Double electrical outlet

• Solid wall (not drywall alone)

• Lighting without direct glare

Monitor the proper functioning of the screens

To ensure that every employee has access to information, it is not enough to install the screens. You still need to make sure they are powered on, connected, and being used.

In the Steeple admin area, the “Screens” section lets you quickly see:

• screens that are on

• screens that are off or disconnected

• the last update or activity date

This makes it possible to act quickly, identify underused locations, and track how usage evolves over time.

A screen installed but turned off is a missed opportunity to build connections and share information.

Practical tips from the field

• A screen that is clearly visible but poorly placed is useless

• Always think about usage before appearance

• Prefer wired connection in industrial environments

• Install a screen where employees have time : cafeteria line, break room, locker rooms…

The Steeple belief

Internal communication should not be reserved for a connected elite. Phygital is the way to break down silos, bring teams together and give everyone a voice.
