CIPs - Internal Communication with Company Podcasts

In this episode, Kath dives into the power of CIPs (Company Internal Podcasts)—a private podcast created for internal staff and teams. She explores how businesses with diverse workforces, including remote, hybrid, part-time staff, and those on leave, can use an internal podcast to communicate vital updates effectively, build a stronger company culture, and ensure no one feels left out.

Kath explains how a CEO or leader can create a single monthly podcast to update, motivate, and engage their team with tone and clarity that email simply can't deliver. She highlights scenarios like addressing sensitive topics such as cutbacks while maintaining a positive and collaborative tone. Additionally, she shares ideas for weekly episodes featuring team stories, HR updates, or onboarding resources to foster inclusivity and build team understanding.

The episode underscores how CIPs can enhance mental health, wellbeing, and communication by creating a shared experience for all staff, regardless of their location or role. Kath wraps up by inviting listeners to reach out if they’d like help creating or training their team to launch their own SIPs.

Key Takeaway: Company internal podcasts are a powerful tool for effective communication, employee engagement, and building a cohesive workplace culture.
