As a global 36,000-person services provider specializing in managing government-sponsored programs, Maximus has always understood that employee communication is critical to success. But throughout their comms journey, they’ve faced challenges related to communicating with its diverse, global workforce, as well as sharing information throughout the pandemic and finding ways to prove the value of investing in comms.
Over time, the Internal Communications (IC) team—led by Jared Curtis, Director of Communications—has overcome these challenges with Poppulo Harmony.
By leveraging the full capabilities of the Harmony platform, the team has continued to innovate and integrate internal comms with a broader workplace experience initiative.
In this guide, we explore how Maximus achieved communications success, plus how they linked comms with business initiatives to deliver value across the organization.

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.
