People need a sense of job growth. So, how can you boost employee satisfaction by providing them with the direction they seek in your organization? 

Everyone has a dream or a goal in mind. However, if you ask someone where they see themselves in five years, you can get some hazy or evasive replies. Especially if your organization doesn't have a clear career growth strategy for your employees!

Do you need to focus on internal storytelling? What are the benefits of internal storytelling for your organization?

As a Communications professional, you’re aware of the importance of external storytelling for your marketing efforts. You know that you need to tell a compelling story to hit the right chords with your target audience and make them fall in love with your organization. You know that storytelling done right helps to build emotion and solidify the affiliation and affinity that your target audience has with your brand. Storytelling, from that external perspective, gives your target audience the information they need to make the decision – sometimes subconsciously – on whether to work with your organization or support your cause.

But what about internal storytelling? Are your employees as enamoured with your brand as your customers are? Do your employees know how to articulate your brand to not only your customers, but to their friends and family too?

An internal communications strategy plays an integral role in the overall health and success of an organization. Especially this year, with many organizations still adjusting to the global pandemic!

Progressive companies are reconsidering their Employee Value Proposition, or what they provide to their workers.

You may have heard a lot about the need to build corporate culture in your organization. You may have even looked up some tips on how to do so. But just what is corporate culture? What defines it, and why is it so necessary for organizations to put an emphasis on it?

If you’ve ever found yourself asking these questions, you’re not alone. A recent Harvard Business Review article, The Leader’s Guide to Corporate Culture, mentioned that many executives are confounded by the idea of corporate culture, because a lot of what makes up corporate culture is anchored in the unspoken behaviours, certain mindsets, and social patterns of the individuals that make up the organization.

However, when properly managed, a healthy corporate culture can help you to achieve growth within your organization, build resiliency that will help you to thrive in difficult times, and drive positive organizational outcomes. So, even though it’s difficult to define, it’s important to consider how corporate culture can play an integral role in your organization.

In this blog, we’ll talk more about building corporate culture, including why it’s so important to have a positive corporate culture in your organization. Through a case study, we’ll also show you how Workplace from Facebook (Workplace) can give people within your organization a voice, drive engagement, lead to greater resilience, and more.

Are you keeping up with this year’s internal communications trends? It’s become quite clear that a solid internal communications plan plays a crucial part in the health of a company – quite literally, as illustrated by our collective experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic!

In fact, we’ll go so far as to say the pandemic has changed many things about how organizations communicate internally, and those organizations that did not emphasize internal communications prior to the pandemic are certainly doing so now. We’ve learned that there needs to be a new awareness on how we tell our employees what’s going on, and even more important than that, who’s telling our employees what’s going on. You may have noticed this with your own organization, as you conveyed vitally important information to your staff over the past eighteen months.

We think it’s safe to say that this emphasis on internal communications isn’t going away any time soon. So, as we approach the halfway point of 2021, we wanted to highlight four of the top internal communications trends for 2021, and help you understand what you need to know.

File sharing or document sharing is something that all organizations need to focus on – do your employees, from frontline workers to CEOs, have access to the files and documents they need, when they need them, and on the device that is most convenient for them?

How can you use the tools to work better together, especially as it pertains to file sharing? How can you ensure that everyone has what they need when they need it?

In this blog, we’re going to explore these very questions and show you how integrating Workplace from Facebook and Microsoft SharePoint can turn your file sharing needs into file sharing superpowers!
