Building engagement remotely
How do you build engagement remotely with your staff team, especially as the pandemic stretches ever onwards? In this session we’ll look at how a wide range of charities are building engagement with their staff teams, which tools they’re using and how they’re planning their messages too.
There will also be time for hot potatoes – so come prepared to share your burning internal comms issues and we’ll work through those together in small groups.

Engaging Mencap’s existing and new remote workforce through the pandemic Mencap has always faced the challenge of communicating with a large part of it’s workforce who are remote and community-based. In this presentation, Liz will talk about how the pandemic has amplified this challenge, with all teams suddenly working remotely and a front line social care workforce who need to be kept up-to-date with an ever-changing landscape of Government guidance. Discover the tactics that she and her team employed to maximise their current channels and adapt and evolve new ones. Liz Clyro @lizclyro | |
Diversity and Inclusion Surveys Not-for-profit organisations are increasingly seeking to enrich their diversity and inclusion initiatives by using survey data. In this presentation Tim will explore questions you can ask in your surveys to find out more about your people, their diverse characteristics, and their experiences of working in your organisation. Tim will also share some examples of what his clients are doing in this area. | |

An intranet that works: The Holy Grail? VoiceAbility had the good fortune to have recently launched a new intranet just before the pandemic hit. Rachel will tell us about the intranet features that made it a gamechanger, particularly in the very fast moving situation of Coronavirus. But of course, an intranet alone is not enough! We’ll also hear how the charity has, with some setbacks to overcome along the way, put an effective intranet at the core of a solid internal communications approach that is driving staff engagement in an age of remote working, and how that’s being built on in 2021.
