2:15 p.m. Fostering Employee Engagement
Once systems are in place to share content with employees, communicators must then develop materials that resonate with their distinct internal audiences. Using existing and new data, organizations can segment audiences to create content for different employee populations. By personalizing communications, organizations can increase their employee net promoter score and reduce absenteeism and turnover.
This session will discuss how to:
- Use data to segment internal audiences for content creation and distribution
- Audit existing communications channels for reach and effectiveness
- Locate and promote company champions at different levels of seniority and responsibility
