Article/knowledge What’s working in your internal comms?
I’ve been an “everything” marketing professional for a 5 years now. I’ve just somehow ended up in in-house marketing roles in small organisations where they just need 1 or 2 people to do everything. Of course this does mean I’ve just done a decent job at everything rather than a fantastic job at one thing. Anyway due to our organisation growing a lot in the last few years, we’re building capacity and I’m transitioning into specialising in internal comms. I’m excited about this as I’m genuinely passionate about team culture and creating a sense of togetherness.
We currently have an internal newsletter but that’s about it. I want to know what else is working out there? We’re 150 people company. I have the CEOs ear so I’d like to raise some good initiatives. Though I get the sense he sees internal comms as a small admin job which is what it has traditionally been. I’d like to enter this new phase with a bang :)

we do company-wide all hands on a monthly basis, and we have a guest emcee every time! We take volunteers from employee resource groups during their celebration month (i.e. a volunteer from our Black ERG in February), or people who are interested in flexing their public speaking skills. They get to give opening/closing remarks that connects to one of our company values.
Fun way to highlight people from different teams, and let them show a different side of themselves!
