As a large organization with offices spread across distances, I was looking for a system for staff members to share information with one another in an easy and effective way.
Three years ago, we launched Wardrop’s news program through Axiom News, which has proven to be a valuable communication tool that is used by the people and for the people.
Because the stories are based on interviews with Wardrop employees and posted on our Intranet for staff members to read, there is frequent and real-time information sharing. Axiom takes care of the interviewing, writing and posting, so it is an easy way for employees to share their successes and ideas.
Through the stories, initiatives and successes are brought to light that otherwise would go unnoticed. People are now more aware of what is happening across the organization and in our different fields of work.
Stories shine a spotlight on wins. Those involved in the success are interviewed or named in the articles, recognizing people for their accomplishments.
The Wardrop News program is a valuable resource for our organization and one that I would recommend to anyone looking for a dynamic and engaging communication method.
