IS YOUR ORGANIZATION USING THE BEST INTERNAL COMMUNICATION PLATFORM?
It’s no secret that engaged employees are more productive, more efficient, and happier all the way around. A quick “Internal Communication Platforms” Google Search will deliver a plethora of options, lists, and recommendations.
Most resources suggest a direct correlation between internal engagement and success, making a case for your organization to consider at least one method of improving internal communication.
Here are some standard internal communication tools to consider:
- Internal Newsletters
- Videos or Vlogs
- Online Surveys
- Emailed Updates
- Chat and Messaging Apps
- Intranet or Intranet Alternative (Hub)
- Software or CRMs
For teams over 25, an internal communication hub – like an app-based program or online repository – offers flexible, accessible value. Think of it as your organization’s internal blog, where team members can access content, with customizable controls like user accounts and author rights to boost engagement and viewership.
Coupling tools like an internal hub and a standard weekly OFT email can deliver the perfect information stream, communicating topics like:
- Anniversaries and Birthdays
- Holiday Celebrations or Schedules
- Company Events
- New Team Members
- Job Postings or New Opportunities
- Company Mission, Vision and Goals
- Department Updates
- Important Safety Information
- Compliance Requirements
- Human Resource Documents
- Surveys and Feedback Requests
Effective internal communication is essential with the rise of remote and hybrid work. Accessible platforms for real-time engagement, regular check-ins, and virtual team-building foster inclusion and keep your team focused.
Kinko's founder, Paul Orfalea said, “Happy co-workers ring happy registers.” If improving business success is your goal, stepping up internal communication efforts may help you achieve ideal results.
