This is a hands-on companion guide to a previous Poppulo white paper where we explored The Role of Employee Communication in the Digital Workplace.
In a related guide, we looked at the essential steps to communicate a new digital workplace and we highlighted how imperative it is for Internal Comms, IT and HR to be aligned in those communications to employees if it's to be successful.
In our latest guide here, we draw on the learnings and expertise of two senior-level experts – Larraine Solomon, former Global VP of Internal Communications, Employee Engagement & Change at Monster, and Emma Ringwood, former Group L&D Manager at Vodafone Group – who share their stories and approaches to implementing a digital workplace.

In today’s competitive business landscape, it’s increasingly important to showcase the impact and value of internal communication efforts. IC teams that use data-driven strategies can ensure their communications contribute to business success—and, most importantly, that they have the proof to back it up.
It’s time for a strategic communications reset. Strategic focus is key to company success, yet half of internal comms executives say they don’t strategize to deliver their top priorities.
The debate over the return to the office remains divided, with opinions on whether to return—or in what capacity to return—split across the board. Regardless of whether the return is mandatory or voluntary, it will be doomed if the office experience is subpar. If the in-person environment fails to meet employees’ needs and expectations, it will inevitably lead to low morale and poor engagement, making it difficult to retain and attract top talent.
