Human Resources Communications

Inspire Action

Increase understanding and participation around key Human Resources-related activities such as employee benefits, health, and wellness offerings, opinion surveys, corporate giving and social impact, learning and development, and recruiting and retention initiatives.

I’ve crafted award-winning communications and engagement strategies for companies updating their benefits plan offerings, reimagining their employee recognition programs, and reorganizing or reducing their workforces.

Benefits Open Enrollment

I will partner directly with your benefits team to understand what’s changing (or not!) and how to build a communications plan so your employees understand what they need to know and do to take full advantage of your company’s benefits.

• Are you updating your benefits provider or changing your benefits plan offerings? 
• Are you planning a passive or active enrollment? 
• Will you update your pharmacy insurance benefit or adjust your employer contribution to a Health Savings Account or hold your employee premiums steady? 
• Are you adding premium offerings like fertility or adoption benefits, enhanced parental leave, EAP and mental health support, elder care or daycare supplements, or even considering opening an on-site daycare facility for working parents? 
  

Employee Opinion Surveys

It’s critical to understand how your employees feel about your business, your leaders, and each other.  Whether you run an annual or bi-annual employee opinion survey or are looking to add more frequent pulse surveys to the mix, I can help you assess your current questions or craft new questions that get to the heart of what your leaders need to know about employee sentiment.

I will also help you put those results in context by reviewing, comparing, and communicating your survey results to your executive leadership teams, department managers, and individual team leaders.  From there, we can work together to craft a plan to host additional listening sessions and focus groups with specific teams or leaders to gain a deeper understanding around specific topics.

Employee Engagement Programs

Build programs that help employees feel seen, heard, recognized, and connected to each other – and your company, from employee recognition initiatives and volunteer days to charitable giving or social impact programs and employee listening campaigns.

Launch focused internal communications programs that improve leadership messaging and engage your leadership teams in best practice communication initiatives to boost overall employee engagement across your company or organization. 

I will establish a true partnership with your leadership team to create buy-in around your collective strategy and ideas to engage your employees.

A Champion for People-Focused Communications

I developed and led the implementation of a multi-channel comms campaign for a client’s benefits annual open enrollment that resulted in 99% employee activation, and was recognized with a 2020 IABC Gold Quill Award.

I designed and delivered a new person-to-person recognition approach that resulted in a 140% increase in participation within the first two weeks over the company’s previous person-to-person recognition program, and received a 2020 IABC Gold Quill Award.

I rebuilt the Internal Communications function for a  mid-size financial services organization, which received a 2022 Forbes America's Best Midsize Employers award.
