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. Register now to hear how two companies are reaching their frontline employees and take away ideas you can put to work in your own organization.

This guide explores how organizations can transform idle conference room screens into valuable employee communication channels. By displaying content between meetings—and automatically returning screens to their primary function when needed—businesses can extend the value of existing technology without disrupting workplace workflows. Idle screen takeovers can reinforce strategic priorities, expand campaign reach, promote time-sensitive information, improve meeting readiness, celebrate employee achievements, and deliver location- or audience-specific messages. The guide recommends keeping each screen focused on one clear message with concise copy, strong visual hierarchy, and an appropriate expiration date. The guide also provides a readiness checklist covering technical compatibility, stakeholder roles, content ownership, targeting capabilities, measurement, and governance. It encourages organizations to begin with a focused, low-risk pilot, evaluate its impact, and then scale the program across additional screens and locations.

Poppulo: Every Employee. Completely Connected. For us, being named a Challenger in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intranet Packaged Solutions is about more than a place on a chart. We believe it shows that Poppulo is helping organizations rethink what an intranet can be: the connective center of the employee experience, bringing the information and services people need together in one place and making them part of everyday working life for everyone, wherever they are. “We see a much bigger future for the intranet—one where it sits at the heart of the whole employee experience and touches every employee in a very real and relevant way. That’s the vision we’re pursuing at Poppulo. Being named a Challenger in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ is a proud moment for us, and it makes us even more excited about where we can take the intranet—and employee experience—next.” — Ruth Fornell, CEO, Poppulo One Intranet. An Entire Workforce. People do not all work in the same place, use the same devices, or get information in the same way. Someone at a desk checks the intranet or email. Someone on the move uses their phone. Someone on a factory floor, in a hospital, or in a store gets their info from a screen. One way of reaching people simply doesn’t work for an entire workforce. Poppulo gives organizations the breadth to reach employees through intranet, email, mobile, and digital signage, while connecting them to the information and services they need. That means employees can stay informed, find what they need, and get things done in ways that make sense for how and where they work. Built to Challenge. Governed to Be Trusted. Poppulo pioneered integrating AI into the employee experience, but we believed trust had to come first. That is why we became the first company in our sector to achieve ISO/IEC 42001 certification, the global benchmark for responsible AI management. For organizations in highly regulated industries or handling sensitive information, Poppulo's approach to AI has always been governed by rigorous risk controls and independent assessment. We are trusted by more than 10,000 organizations, including more than 40 of the Fortune 100—organizations where governance, security, and accountability are non-negotiable. While Poppulo challenges what an intranet can be, it will always be built on foundations enterprises can trust.
