About this webinar

Internal communicators are at the heart of their organizations, connecting all the dots, bringing cohesion to whatever chaos the world introduces, and ultimately moving their companies forward. Simply put, IC is crucial, and therefore, communicators are constantly busy. In that rush to ensure effective employee communications, we've found that communicators are spending less time thinking strategically about their own careers. That's why we want to set aside time to talk about how to advance your career in IC—while at the same time ensuring the steps you take are beneficial for your organization.

Join us on February 25th to hear from Andrew Harvey, an IC recruiter and Chief Executive Officer of VMA GROUP, and Joss Mathieson, Chief Encouragement Officer at Change Oasis, who will share invaluable insights and practical advice drawn from years of research and personal experience within internal comms. This session will highlight key findings from VMA GROUP’s extensive studies, including perspectives on the role and expectations of IC functions.

Register today to learn how to elevate your IC career and deliver outstanding internal communications within your organization. Don't miss this chance to gain expert knowledge and actionable tips for career advancement in internal communications.

Reaching Frontline Workers: Two Companies Getting It Right

Reaching Frontline Workers: Two Companies Getting It Right

Frontline employees need the same company news, guidance, and connection as everyone else. Their working day makes that harder. They may be moving between sites, working shifts, serving customers, caring for children, or working in the field. Some have no company email. Some have no work phone. Many have little time to check internal channels. Join Joss Mathieson for a fireside chat with Camille Biau of Babilou Family, an international early-childhood education group with 14,000 employees in 10 countries, and Jessica Nixon of Rightfiber, a U.S. fiber broadband provider that has a dispersed workforce and has just gone through a merger. They will share what they’ve learned about reaching frontline employees, encouraging people to use new channels, and bringing people together during organizational change. What you'll learn: How to get frontline employees onto a new platform, and keep them using it, when nobody's forcing them to How to reach staff who have no work device during their shift How to bring two workforces onto one channel after a merger without either side feeling taken over How to support managers in the field so they aren't the only route to the frontline Who it's for: Internal comms and HR leaders responsible for frontline and shift-based employees, whether you're choosing a platform or trying to get more from the one you have. Watch the on-demand recording to hear how two companies are reaching their frontline employees and take away ideas you can put to work in your own organization.
