How to keep your internal communications going strong while working from home
Many businesses have experienced switching to home-office or adopted a hybrid approach. But the change from working together in an office to working alone can be difficult. Especially when it comes to keeping the line of communication going strong.
As a company with part of our team working remotely for about four years, one of the things we have had to focus on is communication. Especially sharing what we are working on, updates from departments, and other information to keep everyone in the loop. Video is a perfect way to do just that. Video helps us communicate and visualize information clearly and it gives you the chance to keep the updates short and effective, and the recipient can view when it suits them, as well as several times if needed.
That is why we have opened up a free trial on our video creation tool for everyone, so you make videos that can help you to stay connected with your co-workers, give updates to your team on projects, and provide news and updates to all employees.
To get you started, we have come up with some examples of how your business can use video to keep the communication going while working from different locations.
Share project updates
Keep co-workers updated on the progress of projects and ongoing work. Usually, businesses have regular meetings with status updates where people show progress. Switching these up to short videos to show how projects and work is an efficient way to keep everyone in the loop.
Share updates
Create a video to show your progress. Both numbers and other updates on how your team is doing. Below is a simple example of how you can use video to give the rest of your team or management a look into how things are going.
Share work
Sharing work is important when working remotely. As we always say, it doesn't need to be done or perfect, but always share with the team because it is fun, but also relevant, to see what others are working on. Take a screen recording of your screen to show your work and you can explain what you are working on at the same time. Show and tell.
Messages and news
With a hybrid or remote workplace, there is an increased need to keep employees updated on developments and news, with more frequent updates from leadership and messages tailored to reach a wide internal audience. Video allows you to communicate messages in a clear and personal way, keeping all workers aligned and informed.
Keeping communication open and frequent when there is a lot of change is crucial. Give employees the information they need on topics that are important for them.
Remember that when you create a video, it doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be clear. Filming with your phone or your webcam is just as effective as long as you keep the information straightforward.
A great example of how to use VIBBIO and video to spread important information is the example below from our customer Capgemini Norway who is using video to update employees and customers about cybersecurity during home office.
Training and new routines
During times with lots of change, there might be an increased need for new routines and training. Video is an easy way to send tutorials and learning material to update people on new working routines or training of new tools.
With VIBBIO you can use the recording feature to share screen recordings of how to use new tools, or videos with updates on how the new work routines should be now in these new times of remote work.
