With so little direct contact and so many channels vying for attention, how can companies reach out to dispersed employees and keep them engaged?
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, DHL launched a global employee photo competition, an inexpensive, accessible solution to engage some 500,000 employees stretched over 220 countries.
The Finance Minister, Mr. Arun Jaitely on February 29, 2016 presented his 3rd Union Budget in the Parliament. Various changes have been proposed in the income-tax provisions which would impact the taxable income of an individual.

And while internet stalwarts attract most attention (witness eBay’s infamous four-tweet SEC disclaimer before its results presentation), some of the most interesting social media applications are used by companies from less glamorous sectors.

Coutts and National Portrait Gallery: Grayson Perry: Who Are You? - Corporate...Communicate Magazine
Coutts has long supported the arts industry with sponsorship programmes running over the past 300 years. From Octoober 2014 to March 2015, Coutts was the headline sponsor of the fascinating Grayson Perry: Who are you? exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery.
Grayson Perry's exhibition display featured Britons that embody a particular potent aspect of contemporary British identity. Coutts used its association with the exhibition to highlight its specialist interests – investing through art and philanthropy – while also championing the important role of the arts in the economy. The sponsorship has resulted in almost 300,000 visitors attending the display, with 96% of them would recommend the exhibition to a friends or family.

Boots and Macmillan: working together to improve the lives of everyone living...Communicate Magazine
Boots UK and Macmillan Cancer Support united in partnership in 2009 to achieve a single game changing ambition; to help people affected by cancer access specialist information and support on the high street.
By leveraging the expertise and passion within both organisations, they created life-changing cancer support services delivered in a retail setting for the first time. There are now over 2,000 Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacists working in-store every day, and over 400 Boots Macmillan Beauty Advisors are helping people manage the visible side effects of cancer.
Hear from Rowena Howell, partnership services manager at Macmillan and Oonagh Turnbull, head of CSR at Boots UK on how this long-standing partnership is working to benefit so many people every day. Learn how they companies work together to combine their assets and knowledge to help people affected by cancer more powerfully than they could alone.
Starting with 8.5 tonnes of general waste going to landfill, the Fresh Olive Company implemented an environmental campaign to achieve zero landfill status. Being a food manufacturer with 130 employees it was imperative the employees get on board and fully back the initiative. This was both an environmental and internal communications challenge.
Working closely with Veris, they developed a creative stakeholder communications programme – Ready, Steady, Green! that was fun and resulted in operational improvements. The programme educated and inspired employees to do more with less through interactive workshops and visual communications tools. The interest and enthusiasm of the employees is maintained with additional seasonal campaigns.
The results were impressive, with green behaviours being embedded as a central focus of the business. Zero landfill status has been achieved, items have been donated to local charities and inedible food waste is now sent to Anaerobic Digestion which saves an impressive amount of carbon. Together, they proved that sustainable behaviours don’t need to be tedious or boring.

Tata Consultancy Services:The digital skills gap: bring the voice of 90 milli...Communicate Magazine
Tata Consultancy Services, a leading IT services firm, took a youthful approach to highlighting its work across Europe and generating brand awareness with senior public figures and decision makers. A youth and technology themed thought leadership campaign was an ideal fit with TCS – 70% of its global workforce is under the age of 30 and the company has strong working relationships with over 200 European schools.
The campaign also provided the perfect opportunity for TCS to showcase its stalwart support for the digital industry and young talent. The cornerstone of the campaign was a study of Europe’s youth and their attitudes to work and technology, featuring contributions from leading stakeholders including European government bodies, academics and businesses.
The results were impressive. Key partnerships were established, TCS’s image was strengthened, client engagement levels were at 92 % and the social media campaign was widely praised in the traditional press.

Ian McDonald Wood, research and consulting director, FutureValue
The past year has seen major changes in reporting, with greater requirements needing to be encorported in companies’ strategic reports due to the recent modification to The Companies Act 2006 legislation. Explaining specific aspects of intangible assets has always been a key area in the narrative report in previous years, so what's changed?

The IIRC works to ensure integrated reporting is embedded into mainstream business practice, the FRC sets standards for corporate reporting and FutureValue are content specialists who help businesses develop meaningful content and narrative in their reports.

Reputation in Oil, Gas and Mining 2014: How to engage employees when undergoi...Communicate Magazine
Wael Allahou, corporate communications executive, EQUATE Petrochemical Co
A company’s reputation is of the utmost importance to both internal and external audiences. When EQUATE Petrochemical Company went through a brand refresh – identifying new brand behaviours and modernising its logo, it was important to get its employees involved. As a global company with over 2,000 employees, a comprehensive internal comms strategy around the rebrand and behaviours was vital. Wael Allahou, corporate communications executive at EQUATE, shares the story of how employees were engaged and inspired by an internal communications programme which included the prize of a trip to NASA for astronaut training and a zero gravity flight.
Ashley Shackleton, external affairs Officer, Oil & Gas UK
The oil and gas industry is by some margin the single largest industrial contributor to the UK economy. In addition to its economic contribution, and its role in protecting energy security, the industry is a world class driver of innovation in UK science and technology. The oil and gas industry also creates and sustains an impressive number of skilled and valued jobs. Unfortunately these facts are not well known or understood. By proudly and consistently telling our story we will raise awareness about our contribution, improve understanding of what we contribute, and ensure we attain the support and recognition we need to thrive as an industry. This session will explore the public’s perceptions of the UK oil and gas industry and how we may hope to change them.
Reputation in Oil, Gas and Mining 2014: Trust as a Business DriverCommunicate Magazine
Rishi Bhattacharya, managing director energy & industrials, Edelman
Why Trust? Trust is a crucial asset. It is essential to protect, nurture and enhance trust in order to be successful in today’s complex operating environment. It is crucial for all organisations, but especially those operating in the energy sector.
In this session, and based on the findings of the annual Edelman Trust Barometer, we explore the role of trust in moving a business from having a licence to operate, to having a licence to lead. Through a short presentation, panel discussion and Q&A we explore the state of trust, the interaction between business, government, NGOs and the media, how to go about building trust and its importance to the bottom line.
Reputation in Oil, Gas and Mining 2014: Why does brand matter for extractive ...Communicate Magazine
Ian Louden, head of brand at ArcelorMittal, explores the relationship between brand and reputation. He suggests that now, more than ever, the brand that matters is the one that lives in the heads of stakeholders, not the one that the CEO or brand manager dreams of having.
Today, what stakeholders think about companies, in both their minds and hearts, can make the difference between advocacy and preference or opposition and rejection. Great brands – the kind for which stakeholders give the benefit of the doubt when a crisis comes – are earned as a consequence of the company’s actions and behaviours.
