Employee communications a hot topic at IABC (#iabc09)

I feel like a lot of internal communicators get stuck in their own worlds sometimes. Our audiences are the people inside the four walls so sometimes we don't look outside for help, or maybe just don't realize where help is. At least I never did.

The IABC World Conference lets internal communicators take a step back and see the success other companies are having with new strategies and technologies. There are so many great ideas, case studies and thoughts on how to improve employee communications.

This morning I was fortunate enough to be on a panel with Jeremy Schultz, Paul Barton, and Dave Meyer. Even though we each have internal communication backgrounds, we've had wildly different experiences. And I hope this helped those attending.

UPDATE: And there was this guy named Steve Crescenzo there, too. You might have heard of him.

I was pleased to see so many questions asked during and after the session from the session attendees. And frankly thrilled to see so many people up early to attend. Great communicators know that there are improvements that can be made, but not for not just for the sake of doing something different but more to engage employees with the business.

And even outside of this session, there are so many other great speakers sharing their employee communication stories.

We've heard we all need to be better story tellers, and sometimes are stories are the ones best told. I'd like to thank everyone for sharing their hard work.

I was at that great session, but I could have sworn there was five speakers, not four. Who was the handsome bald man leading the panel? Steve Crescezno
