You are HR, an internal communicator, an innovation project manager... And you all use too many tools. One tool to send newsletters, another to feed back content from the field, for learning, etc. And we're not even mentioning everything! In short, you are suffering from the multiplication of internal communication tools. Does this problem reflect the presence of independent silos in your company? Don't panic. You can change things, and here are 3 reasons to do so.

Stop the proliferation of internal communication tools and simplify the employee experience

It is a fact that is very easy to observe in companies: the multiplication of internal communication tools tends to lose employees. They have a tool for monitoring, a tool for sharing, a tool for reacting... the list is long! Not to mention the multiplication of tools that meet the same need! To help employees become more efficient and agile, their experience must be optimised and simplified. A single interface with animpeccable UX is better than all the tools in the world combined.

Creating a "coherent whole

Faced with the proliferation of internal communication tools, simplifying the experience of employees is a first step. But beyond simplification, there is also consolidation. Indeed, rather than multiple isolated tools each offering a unique experience, it is advisable to offer platforms with multiple functionalities each offering a coherent path. Imagine, for example, a platform that manages employee learning, knowledge sharing and content feedback. From the same interface, they could train, inform themselves, share, be inspired, give feedback, etc.

 

A common dashboard for support functions

And if employees remain in a coherent internal universe, it is the support functions that benefit! Instead of working separately, Human Resources, Internal Communications, Innovation and Digital will be able to sit around the same table to observe the commitment and overall performance of employees. The objective? To put an end to the silos and look at performance on a global scale, in the same way that employees themselves experience it.
