Click on each panelist to learn more about them.
Strong employee engagement starts with strong communication, and the people leading internal comms know just how much impact the right message, to the right people, at the right time, can have.
In this panel, you’ll hear from internal comms leaders using Workshop to connect with employees across every kind of workplace, from corporate HQs to frontline teams, and from fast-growing companies to enterprise organizations with a lot of moving pieces.
They’ll talk about what’s been effective, what they’ve had to rethink, and the communication habits that helped employees feel more connected to the company and each other. You’ll leave with practical ideas and real examples of how thoughtful communication can strengthen employee engagement far beyond opens and clicks.
