A Small Business Guide to Big Employee Engagement
Too big to run on tribal knowledge, too small for a dedicated comms team. Here's what to do with the gap in between.
You used to know everyone's names. Ideas moved by osmosis. Someone chucked a thought in shared channel and someone else just... handled it.
Now there's a steady stream of new faces, meetings where you scroll to see who's even in them, and role titles specific enough that nobody's sure who owns "telling people things" anymore.
You want to run good comms. But it's become another item on an already full day, and it turns out that communicating about the work is somehow harder than doing the work.
"Did I mention that at stand up? Post it on Slack? Update the shared doc?...
...Am I meant to do all three now?"
Suddenly, you're doing more 'work about work' than actual work. And it happens when a business outgrows its systems before intentionally choosing the ones you need.
Most advice on this stuff comes from enterprise playbooks. Big teams, bigger budgets, and stats that reflect working cultures on the other side of the world. So, we've teamed up with our friends at Workvivo by Zoom to bring this session together. Offering lessons learnt from SMBs overseas, adapted for what drives engagement in ANZ, and packed with practical, low-lift ways to build yours.
JOIN US ON 29 SEPTEMBER
Join us for a free 30-minute session on:
- The scaling cliff: why connection quietly breaks down as you grow, and the habits that hold it together anyway
- What 'hearing from leadership' should actually look like day-to-day
- Ways to build and maintain trust when priorities seem to shift faster than Hogwarts staircases
- How to tell if any of it's working... without relying on a 40-question annual survey.
Plus: a live, personalised engagement snapshot for your business.
Who this is for:
Founders, HR Leads, Ops Managers, or anyone else who's 'ended up' owning comms and engagement. If your business has grown past the point where everyone fits in one room but hasn't built out a full people/comms function yet, this is built for you.
Can't make it live?
Register anyway, we'll send you the recording.
