Tips & Tricks from Tops & Flops

Looking to shake up your internal comms tactics? Here are few ideas you can steal from FGS Global's recent “Tops & Flops” report and webinar, drawing insights from 25 internal comms leaders at large companies:

Refresh those town halls. FGS’ interviews confirmed town halls are tops for internal comms. To keep them fresh, consider rotating the location of your live sessions to distribute the experience across sites. For global orgs, try alternating the primary language to balance inclusivity and practicality in some locations. Also, take a fresh look at your approach to Q&A, including the tradeoffs and opportunities between live Q&A, anonymous questions, themed Q&A, standalone AMAs, and how you manage unanswered questions.

Reinvigorate leadership/team connections: Try a "Lunch Roulette" program, where a randomly selected group of employees enjoy an informal lunch with leaders. Or, pilot a briefing event featuring 2 or 3 leaders followed by a social gathering where employees can engage those leaders in conversation. Consider establishing a recurring 30 min session with groups of new joiners and your CEO/leaders to discuss the company’s strategy, values and culture.

New insights

  • “Note to all executives: Employees aren’t interested in exposition or pontification when org changes—i.e., their livelihoods—are in flux,” says Mister Editorial in a recent post where he breaks down a 2,342-word internal memo sent by CNN’s CEO.

  • Who comments more on employee surveys…satisfied or dissatisfied employees? People & Data Scientist Ludek Stehlik set out to find the data-backed answer to this question…check it out here.

  • Last week I asked whether folks would be interested in a “survey of surveys” summarizing useful info from the many internal comms reports out there. 60% of you said no, you would not find this useful. 👎 I have an unhealthy obsession with those reports…so I may do it anyway.😅 But I will prioritize accordingly.
