Celebrating innovation in workforce communication

Each year, Ragan recognizes the top professionals in employee communications with their Ragan Employee Communications Awards. And each year, Firstup customers not only make the cut but consistently take home the top awards. This year is no different and we are proud to support the bold and innovative communications professionals at:

• Whirlpool Corporation in the Executive Communication Category for “Marc’s Whirled Approach to Employee Comms” 

• Newell Brands in the Humorous Video Category for their “Fishbowl – Leadership Video”

• American Cancer Society in the Mobile App Category for “ACS2Go”

• Bright Horizons Family Solutions in the Newsletter (Print) (Digital) Category for  “The Weekly Buzz” AND in the User for HR (Intranet) Category  “Bright Horizons Digitizes the Benefits Onboarding Experience”

• Lendlease in the Value to Employees (Intranet) Category for “How Lendlease Ensures No Employee Gets Left Behind”

We’re especially excited this year as the winners cover a range of capabilities critical to any successful workforce communications strategy. Employers need to be able to reach employees where they are by utilizing a variety of channels — from targeted emails to intranet portals to mobile apps. Even more importantly, communicators need to deliver relevant content that aligns and mobilizes their workforce to achieve the most important initiatives of the business.
