The Employee-First Approach: A Game-Changer

Written by Sonam Faisal | Mar 19, 2024 11:05:27 AM

Internal communication is no longer just a company newsletter or a notice on a bulletin board. Today, industry-leading organizations are leveraging an employee-first approach to internal communications, where meaningful, personalized content drives engagement, productivity and overall business success. 

A leading global software giant leveraged a thorough employee-first strategy, they did this by segmenting their diverse workforce into specific audience groups and this allowed them to tailor the content and delivery method for each group. The result? A highly engaged workforce that felt seen, heard, and valued, ultimately resulting in heightened productivity and a boost in company morale. 

Another well-known worldwide technology leader recognized the importance of internal comms and took an employee-first approach, launching a 'Connected Recognition' program. Employee achievements were amplified through this platform, fostering a sense of community, improving morale, and increasing overall employee satisfaction. 

Such case studies clearly indicate that when employees are placed at the forefront, organizations reap the benefits.

Building a Culture of Connectivity and Collaboration

Let's explore a little further the power of an Employee-First approach. A key aspect of this strategy is adopting a sense of collaboration and unity within the organization, making it more than just a workplace but a shared effort. For example, a Swedish music streaming giant, used space called ‘Lunch Roulette’ on their intranet where employees can sign up to have lunch with someone from a different department. This initiative was instrumental in breaking down the competition and creating a solid, cross-functional team that is deeply connected, regardless of their geographical locations or roles. 

Not only does this create mutual appreciation and understanding, but it promotes the sharing of ideas across boundaries, sparking innovation and contributing to the steady growth and success of the organization. An employee-first approach truly goes beyond communication, nurturing a culture that recognizes and celebrates diversity, and encourages input and collaboration at all levels. With such a connected workforce, businesses are empowered to navigate the ebb and flow of any industry landscape with resilience and agility.
