We stepped into Life Between Islands at the Tate Britain as three generations to support what we love. We left considering our own #BlackBritish experience and much more (end of the video). The only thing missing from the 'living room' was the plastic-cov…https://t.co/7ZjFiC2psy

"Oh gosh, is this my stop?!" "No way, I forgot I had that mug!" and "It's been ages, how have you been?" I captured moments I experienced for your viewing pleasure, as many embrace #hybridworking and head back into the office, following the lift of Plan B…https://t.co/hADDOhM4FS

In what ways has hybrid/remote-working changed how you hear about potential stories or office #gossip? Some virtual meetings are a snooze fest (straight facts), but someone, at some point, will drop an unexpected nugget that perks the ears up. It's someth…https://t.co/xBwm6dN3mq

Do you feel appreciated? Interesting piece about rituals over routines. Suppose you know what to expect for team celebrations for your promotion, work anniversary, or birthday (same old thing for everyone). In that case, the approa…https://t.co/cNAxEenEPy https://t.co/5IJT0D36xb

What's on your playlist? Swapped blocking out the white noise of the open-plan office for working from home playlists - great company, makes you feel good, and according to science, improves productivity. My go-to:

How do I create a new sense of energy? I’ll go out on a limb and say it’s a question on the lips of #leaders, IC professionals, and #hr professionals right now. The pandemic continues to impact our everyday lives, January blues is in full swing, and ever…https://t.co/jwiApXMFdo

We all need a break. Whether big or small, a change of scenery (Wales on this occasion) brings me great pleasure. #wellbeing has been an area of focus for many IC professionals throughout the pandemic, and I think it's here to stay for 2022.

With a background in #journalism, it's always a pleasure switching hats and stepping into the #pr space. Thanks to Chartered Institute of Public Relations Corporate and Financial Group for an insightful event with Oscar Williams-Grut, City Editor,

Combining #technology, #data and human science.

Setting aside the buzzwords in this article, three 'nuggets' it explored that I found interesting...

1) Analysing the language we use at the start of the employee journey.

2) Going…https://t.co/DLQ6y4vhWT https://t.co/1uM3QYnKo2

Gives a whole new meaning to 'feeling like presenters are in the room with you.' #videoconferencing has its place but this takes it to a next level and I love it!

Of all the business use cases, I'd consider it for a virtual staff…https://t.co/KcevTQX4wR https://t.co/GwHtXYoGJL

It's award season! Never underestimate the power of peer-to-peer #rewardandrecognition

We're just a few sleeps away from our second Celebrating Success Colleague Awards, which launched in what was a challenging year for so many - we needed the 'feel go…https://t.co/7EoaGC1t49

Content shared by employees receives 8X more engagement than content shared by brand channels (spotted on Sociabble). I enjoyed listening to discussions when I sat in on refresher training with our Partnerships team and social media guru Chimaechi Allan,…https://t.co/WCGY1iPwNO

Customers deem human interactions to be more than 3x as helpful for successful #digital adoption.

The vulnerability of #blogging, particularly at #work, is a real thing. But I've learned so much from those who have shared their personal life experiences so openly. The latest blog shared today was about grief.

It's day 3 of Talk Money Week! For IC, it means working closely with external comms peeps to catch nuggets to signpost to, encouraging colleagues to take action, so we practice what we preach, and generally trying to remember what day it is.

It's a bit like 'Secret Santa.' We're not sure what we'll get or who it is from (sometimes), but we fully appreciate the sentiment. And yes, there are officially 52 sleeps until Christmas!

Key is to remain curious, look at the issue from different angles, align comms objectives with project objectives, work out how it fits into the bigger picture, ask for key project milestones and try to avoid ending up in project management mode (for the…https://t.co/iP3awMtfsw

A healthy reminder for those moving to more automated processes. #digitaltransformation is not just an IT decision and “#culture eats strategy for breakfast.” https://t.co/xas2cLiNR0

Curious leaders who value employee voice help to make your IC function that much more effective. With hybrid working and the loss of 'water-cooler conversations,' IC pros have had to think differently about how they 'listen.'
