Our ‘Be 100% You Every Day’ employee engagement strategy is in the running for a major communications award
We’re proud to share the news that our ‘Be 100% You Every Day’ strategy has been named as a finalist in the innovation category of the Communicate: Internal Communications and Engagement Awards.
The awards celebrate outstanding achievements in internal communications, and their impact on business performance and role in boosting employee engagement. The Best Innovation category recognises the most creative approaches to internal comms, as well as their problem-solving approach and impact on the wider organisation.
We launched ‘Be 100% You Every Day’ in January 2019 to create a unified identity across our employee network and define what it means to work for Arvato. This involved a series of new initiatives from a dedicated awards programme and Q&A platform, to an image-led marketing campaign activated through vinyl stickers, posters and photo frames for employees to personalise.
The judges praised the campaign’s Big Debate initiative, which invites a panel of representative employees from every section of the business to discuss new ideas and initiatives directly with our CEO, Debra Maxwell and HR Director, Sally Neale.
Sally Neale, HR Director, Arvato CRM Solutions UK said: “This shortlisting recognises the significant impact that the ‘Be 100% You Every Day’ programme has had on amplifying employee voices and transforming our approach to decision-making.
“The Big Debate has been pivotal to this, creating a dedicated channel between our employees and the leadership team. It has already delivered a series of successes, including the development of a refreshed learning and development programme for our agents, a series of new environmental policies and processes, and the winners of the Be 100% You Awards.
“Overall, the wider ‘Be 100% You Every Day’ strategy has produced great results, including a 15 per cent increase in the number of employees who would recommend Arvato, and a 10 per cent increase in motivation across the business. We’re excited to build on the momentum we’ve created so far, with a number of exciting initiatives in the pipeline.”
The awards will be held in October in London.
