How to Reach Every Employee with an Omnichannel Approach to Employee Communications
About this Guide
As companies shift away from mandatory full-time in-office work and adopt hybrid workforce models, a primary challenge becomes clear.
Communicating with a large, dispersed workforce is integral for the success of any business—and now, it’s never been more challenging. To keep up with the constant changes to the nature of work, communications strategies must change too.
A lack of communication—or a lack of effective communication—not only leads to misunderstandings and missed opportunities but is also the foundation of an unengaged workforce. It’s critical for business leaders to reach and engage every worker, regardless of whether they work from a desk in the office, their kitchen table, the factory floor, or anywhere in between.
In the past, companies have relied on multiple teams working out of disparate platforms to reach their employees, but this rarely ever worked. On top of inconsistent messaging, wasted time spent managing multiple pieces of software, and a lack of data to measure the efficacy of content, most corporate communications weren’t personalized.
Each of these challenges posed a significant problem for internal communicators before the pandemic, but now, those challenges have compounded. The key to overcoming these communications challenges and effectively reaching a large, hybrid workforce lies in adopting an omnichannel approach to employee communications.
This guide explores how to:
- Communicate with every employee through their preferred channels

Over the past two decades, campus communication has shifted from posters and email blasts to a complex web of comms channels that are accessible to students, faculty, and visitors throughout their days. The modern university is both physical and digital, and the speed of communication must meet the needs of a digitally-native generation. In this environment, digital signage has moved from a nice-to-have to a strategic medium—visible, immediate, and flexible—one that connects a dispersed campus. This whitepaper explores how institutions are using digital signage to communicate smarter and faster, and how to build a program that is easy to operate, simple to scale, and resilient in the moments that matter most. Drawing on Poppulo’s expertise in digital signage for college campuses, we’ll share how leading universities are centralizing digital signage management, empowering multiple departments, and using data and design to make every message count. Keep reading to learn how top universities are leveraging digital signage to create more connected, informed, and vibrant campus communities, setting new standards for communication in higher education.
Dive a little deeper into AI for digital signage and learn what the future holds for these two technologies. Across the enterprise, AI is no longer a distant vision—it’s quickly becoming a practical tool reshaping how organizations work, connect, and communicate. From automating workflows to personalizing customer experiences, AI is changing the way information flows, both inside and outside of businesses. For digital signage network owners, this shift presents both an opportunity and a challenge. How do we move from simply broadcasting content to delivering communication that’s adaptive, intelligent, and responsive in real time? How do we take advantage of AI in ways that make networks easier to manage, more engaging for audiences, and more valuable to the business? This shift is something most businesses are currently navigating, but they don’t have to figure it all out on their own. Poppulo is here to help demystify the technology and provide insight into how AI will shape the future of digital signage.
Without the right platform and capabilities, managing a growing digital signage network can be complex and time-consuming. Device downtime and inconsistent content playback can take time and resources away from the experiences you want to deliver. Additionally, reporting gaps, or otherwise tedious and manual reporting tools make it harder to determine what is working and what isn’t, which is a huge barrier to ensuring your digital signage network is contributing to your organization’s goals. In this session, we’ll share practical guidance on how AI-driven tools, like Poppulo’s Analyze Agent can help digital signage teams: Keep devices healthy and running smoothly Ensure content plays correctly across every screen Strengthen governance and oversight You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how AI can simplify network management, save time, and maximize the impact of your digital signage.
