Also available to listen via

As an internal comms professional, you naturally know that it’s incredibly important to keep employees informed, connected and engaged. But that’s far from a given.

In this podcast series, Lesley Arens therefore – together with Tom Segers, managing director at Spencer – steps into the minds of several communications professionals. Together they look for levers for frictionless internal communication. How do you make sure everyone is on board, and how do communications professionals already work well with HR professionals today?

In this episode, we go and gather inspiration at the general hospital Vesalius in the rolling Haspengouw region, with 326 beds, 130 doctors and 800 staff members spread across two campuses, one in Tongeren and one in Bilzen. With Sarina Simenon, communications manager at AZ Vesalius, and Ann-Catherine Verjans, communications officer & data protection officer.

And 5 concrete tips from internal communications professionals for HR professionals:

  1. Avoid jargon! Use clear language

  2. Avoid vague objectives. Be concrete about what you expect and what you offer

  3. Don’t only mention the ‘need to knows’ but also the ‘nice to knows’

  4. Get your own employees more involved

  5. Give a behind-the-scenes look and make the communication relevant and light that way
