Internal marketing is vital to the success of any company. All employees serve as ambassadors for your brand, so it’s helpful to arm them with tools to keep them informed of pertinent internal/external communications and engaged – the more your team members feel a part of the organization, the more engaged they will be. The following tips highlight key strategies to build a stronger internal marketing presence.

Publish an internal employee newsletter – Internal newsletters are very informative for employees. It allows information to be easily passed down through the grapevine and engages your employees to get more involved with what’s happening in the company.

1. Schedule daily or weekly team meetings – Ignites employee feedback and collaboration. Production meetings? Morning pow wows? 2-second lean highlights, etc. This gets your employees on the same page and gives them a chance to get involved and speak up on a weekly basis and communicate goals and expectations for the week.
2. TV Screens or Communication Boards – in production areas, high traffic areas, break rooms, etc. This could highlight birthdays, anniversaries, safety announcements, etc. Reflecting on accomplishments or special days gives your employees the feeling of recognition and pushes them to thrive for more.

Set the expectation from the get-go. Planting the seed on day one and ongoing reminders engrains the importance of company culture and consistent communication.

Giving employees a voice is always a great way to make them feel valued. Asking for feedback or suggestions through a notepad or suggestion box encourages employees to jot down thoughts and ideas throughout the day to help make a better workplace for everyone.
