Why Emotion Beats Logic in Internal Communications ✨ Ever wondered why certain internal messages resonate more than others? It's because colleagues are driven more by emotion than pure logic. Look back at your most engaging internal communications. ✅ Did they touch on a shared frustration? ✅ Did they offer a fresh, perhaps bold, perspective on a workplace issue? ✅ Maybe they even challenged the status quo of your industry norms. These messages likely struck a chord because they tapped into emotions, not just because they presented logical solutions or detailed success strategies. So, when crafting your next internal communication, consider: 1️⃣ Relatable Stories 2️⃣ Emotional Connection 3️⃣ Vision of Change Yes, logical solutions are important, but the emotional context can make your message truly impactful. Let's start speaking to the heart as well as the mind in our internal communications. #InternalComms #EmployeeEngagement #CommunicationStrategy

Good #storytelling... 🐻 🐻 🐻 It's one of the cornerstones of internal communications. It can be the difference between memorable or a mediocre #internalcommunication. In recent weeks, I've been contacted by a number of colleagues from a previous workplace asking about a DE&I video series we ran back in 2021. The fact that past colleagues are still contacting me about internal communication we ran 3 years ago makes me 😁 It means, the effort we went to, and most importantly, the bravery of people telling their stories has had a lasting impact. Internal communication relies on good storytelling to engage and excite employees. But to tell good stories, we have to be able to spot a good story. We have to be good listeners. We also need the right ingredients - ideas, content, media, channels and timeliness. What makes a memorable story for you? 👇

Seeing the vast differences in corporate cultures every day makes it immensely clear — internal communications are vital to that culture companies are striving for, keeping, and nurturing. But, as the day-to-day experiences of employees include more and more clutter (from email, chats, intranets...) — using visuals can help cut through that clutter, engage employees faster, and connect the pieces we need them to. We live in a digital, visual age—and need to meet employees where they are at.

If you are starting in Internal Comms, do this to master the art. 👉 Speak Human: ✅ Beyond sharing information, our goal is to build genuine connections. ✅ Achieving this means prioritizing clarity, conciseness, and, most importantly, empathy in every message we craft. 👉 Embrace Storytelling: ✅ Elevate your communications with storytelling. ✅ A well-told story can make your messages not only more engaging but also more relatable. ✅ It turns corporate announcements into narratives that employees can relate to. 👉 See Beyond the Role: ✅ At the core of impactful internal communications is the recognition of our colleagues as more than just their job titles. ✅ They have emotions, aspirations, and a desire for meaningful connections. In the end, it's not just about what we say but how we say it. Let's champion communications that genuinely connect! #InternalCommunications #EmployeeEngagement #StrategicHR
