Mommy Margaret's Message - by Margaret Brown
Having an internal company newsletter is a great way to address employee engagement, communication, and collaboration, but it comes with one catch: you need a wide readership. While you can include important articles in a newsletter, getting your employees motivated enough to read it is the extra leap you'll need to take. The key to this challenge is to make sure you organize your newsletter wisely. The front page is where you can make a real impression. You can start with a name for your newsletter that resonates with the people working under your wing, while still reflecting the company's brand and identity. This page is also where people see what's in the following pages, so making sure that you have interesting headlines lined up in the table of contents can work to your advantage.
