Leading Through Change: Using Intranet Comms to Build Trust
Debbie Kruger, Director of Communications & Social Impact at ClouderaLearn how Cloudera leveraged their intranet as a “town square” to manage significant leadership transitions, using Simpplr to facilitate communication, build trust, and humanize new executives during a period of massive organizational change. We’ll also learn strategies for maintaining employee connection and morale during times of upheaval, including the use of Q&As, AMAs (“Ask Me Anything” sessions), and leadership visibility campaigns through Simpplr.
From Shared Drives to Self-Service: Transforming Access to Information
Sarah Byrne, Director of Communications at L+M Development PartnersLearn how L+M implemented strategies to shift employee behavior — moving key resources away from shared drives and email toward a centralized intranet, promoting self-service access to information and reducing bottlenecks in HR and comms. Attendees will also hear about L+M’s current major initiatives, including a major integration with Ceridian Dayforce to automate people data, and the launch of a branded mobile app to enhance the employee experience.
Messaging at Scale: Aligning Comms Across Complex Business Units
Matt Rivera, CMO at Day & ZimmermannLearn how Day & Zimmermann is developing governance strategies to unify internal communications across a diverse set of business units and employee groups. Drawing from recent employee feedback and content coordination efforts, he’ll share how the company is aligning messaging while empowering teams to engage effectively within a complex organizational structure.
