Meet Pat Taggart, a documentary filmmaker specialising in corporate video storytelling. Together we explored the transformative role of video in internal communications. The discussion covers the evolution of video technology, the importance of authenticity, and the shift towards more organic content facilitated by smartphones. We also explore the benefits of enabling comments on internal videos to foster engagement and the pitfalls of overly scripted content.
Dr. Frank Douglas, a seasoned problem solver with a 24-year career in the pharmaceutical industry, shares his personal experiences with discrimination. We discuss his approach to reframing problems to achieve desired outcomes. The discussion highlights the need for empathy, understanding, and tailored solutions to combat discrimination. Dr. Douglas also underscores the role of middle managers and the significance of finding common ground to bridge divides in the workplace.
In this episode, we explore the pressing issues of burnout and mental health in organisations post-pandemic. There is a high level of stress among employees, with nearly 80% feeling burnt out. The multifaceted causes of burnout, such as lack of support and recognition, go beyond just long working hours. The discussion also highlights the importance of a balanced work-life approach and the preference for audio over video calls to reduce fatigue.
Generational differences aren't just about age—they're about understanding diverse life experiences and how they shape work preferences. Anna Hislop shares valuable insights into why continuous feedback and individualised support are crucial for managing Gen Z employees. This generation values autonomy and trust in the workplace, and adapting leadership styles to meet these needs can significantly improve organisational dynamics.
What are the complexities frontline workers face in their communication channels? In this episode of Engaging Internal Comms , I explored this landscape with Ben Collier from Ocasta Engage. We unravelled the web of challenges such as limited communication time and the sense of detachment from the central office, emphasising the critical need for innovative delivery methods. It's a thought-provoking dive into the reality of those keeping the wheels of retail, healthcare, and more, smoothly running.
