Virtual Internal Communications Conference On Demand

The genie’s out of the bottle. While the transition to remote and/or part-time work has been difficult for many organizations and teams, others have embraced the opportunity to offer more flexible work arrangements. Looking ahead, companies and leaders must find new ways to maintain employee health, productivity and team spirit as more people opt to work remotely. Personio has successfully made this transition and in this session, Ben Kizitlug, Personio, will share lessons learned, best practices and tools for leading remote teams.

The new world of work will need to integrate three employees working styles: 1) Fully on-site, 2) Fully remote, 3) Hybrid remote – on-site. What are the key implications for Communicators?
• Putting individual employees at the center of comms is more important than ever – because their personal experiences, concerns, issues will be different
• We need to go beyond current multi-channel comms. We will need to deliver coordinated omnichannel communications tailored to each employee’s daily work experience and guided by data
• We need to partner with HR and Executives to strengthen organizational culture for both existing and new employees in an environment that is experiencing rapid changes (org structure, business changes, health & safety changes
In this session, you will learn:
• Why technology will play an even bigger role than in the past in enabling effective employee comms in this new world of hybrid work.
• The implications of the new model for enabling IC technology using an omnichannel approach
• 3 ways to implement this model

Calling it a labor shortage would be an understatement — most customer-facing organizations are currently experiencing a full-blown labor drought. Savvy operators have already started to address their labor issues with the means they have available. And internal communications plays a key role in keeping the turnover down.

During this speaking session, we’ll first identify the turnover hotspots that most organizations face. Then we look at a phased approach to addressing these hotspots. Finally, we’ll dive into proven strategies of three organizations that have successfully tackled each challenge.

It’s a digital world, but not always a digital workplace. Now more than ever leaders need to embrace digital connections to reach their employees in a post-pandemic world. Where do you begin? Meet your employees where they are, not where you think they should be.

What is employee engagement like now that employees are working remote, in-office, and hybrid? Have we experienced the “turnover tsunami” that is sweeping the country? Are employees burnt out? These are all questions organizations must ask themselves during this time of constant change. With global engagement rates at 68% and 50% in the UK it is time for communicators to perform an audit to identify your most effective and ineffective channels.

In this session you’ll learn:
• How the use of email has changed throughout the pandemic
• The most effective and preferred communications channels
• Best practices and insight from the analysis of nearly 1.5 billion internal emails
• How to apply these findings to improve your overall internal communication strategy

During this presentation, Jeff Corbin, senior strategic advisor for internal communications consulting at Staffbase and principal of ECA Consulting Group, sheds light on gaps to look out for in your organisation’s internal comms that may be depriving employees of important communications and information. Jeff will discuss how Staffbase clients such as BrewDog, Dreams, Sunbelt Rentals, and Max Mara Fashion Group were able to identify their communication holes and use technology and digital tools to ensure that their entire workforce is completely connected and informed.

This session will cover:
• The increasing complex landscape of Employee Communications Applications (ECA) and what this really means for the internal comms.
• The three steps to closing your communication gap
• And how to best match the appropriate communication tools to your organisation so that no employee is left behind

At Lucid, like many companies around the globe, we’re starting to transition back to the office—just not full-time like we did before the pandemic. In this session, we’ll review how Lucid uses Lucid products to battle the challenges of hybrid work.
