Melcrum Podcast 24 October 2007: Shownotes

By Sona Hathi, Assistant Editor, Melcrum

The wait is over! The latest Melcrum podcast, with a focus on Comms Canada, is now ready to download.

This week's podcast introduces another Chicago-based co-presenter, Jason Blackwell, Melcrum's senior marketing executive. Jason and I present to you three great interviews in this week's edition.

First, Adwoa Buahene, one of the keynote speakers at the Comms Canada event talks to Annie Waite, global editor of the Internal Comms Hub website, about the "4-Gen" workforce - the 4 generations being: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y. (Begins at 00:28)

Next, Annie catches up with Internal Comms Hub editorial board member David Grossman at the IABC conference in New Orleans, which took place earlier this year. David, who will also be speaking at the Comms Canada event, shares ideas on how managers can maintain a mix of new technology and traditional channels to communicate with employees. (Begins at 07:57)

And finally, part two of my interview with Job van Harmelen from TNT, who will be speaking at Melcrum's European Employee Engagement conference in November. Last week, Job described the various channels his team use to increase engagement and communication between the CEO and the global workforce. This week he speaks about the roll out of TNT's engagement survey and gives three top tips for communicating with a dispersed workforce. (Begins at 11:14)

I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as we enjoyed making it!

That tagline sounds familiar - Ann Wylie's newsletter I think?! On that note, Ann's written a great piece for the Internal Comms Hub that I've just uploaded - called 'How to take the numb out of numbers' and looking at making financial company information more compelling and understandable.
