Empowering employees

Targeted and personalized communications keeps employees engaged and informed

How it started

Employee engagement from one single hub

“Firstup has brought so much value to Newell Brands,” explained Christina Moylan, Manager, Corporate Communications. With the launch of their employee branded app, Newell Now, employees now have one single hub to access all their company information where they are. In addition, employees are empowered to share content to other employees, creating a connected environment.

Where they landed

The untapped potential of Firstup

Newell Now allowed the internal communications team to send the “right content to the right group of employees,” said Christina. “Targeted content has given us the ability to share announcements and events with the right group of team members, without flooding the inboxes of those that don’t need to see a particular message.” Additionally, they’ve been able to create a sense of urgency. Within 30 seconds, they can send a push notification to their employees to get a specific message out. All this is captured with their metrics, where they can see which content is performing best.
