3 tips to rethink your internal comms tech stack
Thinking of upgrading your employee communications tools? Here’s how to keep your tech transition on track—and employees happy about it.
Yesterday’s town halls and bland emails don’t have what it takes to inspire today’s dispersed, discerning workforce.
If you want to win the battle against remote distractions—and unite your employees—it’s time to rethink your toolkit.
Kimberly Tate-Nuwar, senior director of communications at LexisNexis Risk Solutions group, recently shared guidance on these crucial topics in a Ragan Training session titled “The Hybrid Workplace Toolkit: Build Trust and Boost Dispersed Engagement.” Here are three prescient takeaways from her talk:
1. Put employees first (not tech).
“My big takeaway for those considering a tech transition is that transparency and trust must come first—not the tools,” says Tate-Nuwar.
“Right before the pandemic, we were making a shift from legacy tools to Office365 collaboration tools like Teams and SharePoint,” she explains. “We were also in the middle of a big rebranding, so we focused first on earning our employees’ trust in the transition.”
2. Take employees’ pulse.
