My work is an important part of my life
In 2016 Michael Page launched a brand new internal communications strategy, moving from a reactive to a proactive approach. An audit looked at the number of messages being distributed, the channels used and the percentage of messages that pertained to the EVP. As a result, they devised a strategy and implemented new communications channels, including SMS and a brand new Leadership Pack, which is sent monthly to managers of people. These managers are then responsible with sharing the information with their teams. They also increased the use of their creative studio and implemented a quarterly update from the UK MD, which is distributed via the Leadership Pack. Earlier in the year, they provided all employees with branded headphones, giving them the tools they need in order to listen to video and audio communications. They are also launching an internal communications radio show in November 2016, which will showcase real people and real stories from across the business. This will replace wordy communications, which were not previously engaging. They are also planning a campaign to re-introduce PageConnect (Yammer) to the business in 2017, where they will host and signpost to key content. The objective is to increase engagement around important business messages and encourage the use of the platform as a key communication platform.
