Worth Their Time: Earning a Place for Internal Comms in the Front Line Working Day

Frontline employees don't need another channel to check. Their working days are already busy, their attention is limited and they often have established ways of finding information, talking to colleagues and getting things done.

So launching another platform isn't enough. It has to earn its place.

Join Everyone Active, DP World, Flip and Work Networks for a practical conversation about what makes technology genuinely useful and how it benefits employees in their everyday working lives.

Every entry was assessed by an independent panel of 40 judges, who praised the outstanding calibre of this year’s submissions.

Is the Office Christmas Party a Thing of the Past?

The Bridget Jones Christmas party, karaoke, party hats and all, has quietly disappeared from British working life, replaced by team lunches, online quizzes, volunteering days and events that finish at five. Christina Lewis, founder of Herizon, asks what that shift says about employee engagement now: a loss of the informal connection that bound teams together, or a workforce finally choosing how it spends its own evenings.

A sharp read on who after-work events really serve, and what the end of the office party tells us about culture after the five-day week.

Fairness Is the New Frontier of Retention as Burnout Quietly Drains Growth for a Third of UK Firms

New Dayshape research, surveying 200 senior leaders at UK professional services firms, finds retention problems stem from how work is planned and distributed. Burnout is cited by 31% of leaders as a key reason they lose top performers, rising to 42% in large firms. While 86% believe their people are fully utilised, only 69% have clear visibility of team capacity.

With 32% saying talent shortages are already holding back growth, “quiet attrition” is an emerging risk.

  • Almost all of it comes from the summit itself and the community around it. Podcast episodes are cut from audio recorded on the summit stages. On-demand sessions are full recordings of keynotes, panels and case studies. Case-study articles are written from the presentations given at the event.

    Webinars are live, hour-long broadcasts with senior engagement leaders and partners, recorded and published afterwards. Research is contributed by the Engage community, our partners and our own surveys. The news section covers employee engagement, employee experience and internal communications, written and selected editorially. Nothing here is paid-for editorial. 

  • Yes. We publish editorially led content from practitioners, researchers and the wider employee engagement community. If you have a case study, an opinion piece or industry research you would like considered, send it to enquiries@ebm.uk. Research that meets our editorial standard is published with a link back to your organisation.

    We do not publish promotional or product-led content for free; if what you want to publish is product-specific or would commercially benefit your organisation, see question 6. 

  • Yes. Engage Employee webinars are sponsored, live, hour-long sessions broadcast to the Engage community and available on demand afterwards.

    As the sponsor you have full editorial control of the topic, the speakers and the content. We handle the rest: promoting the webinar across the community, building the registered audience from the people most relevant to your topic, hosting the broadcast and publishing the recording.

    Webinars are also available as part of summit partnership packages. Contact commercial@ebm.uk for availability and dates. 

  • The Engage Employee podcast is available on Spotify and on this page. Episodes are candid conversations recorded at the summit with the people behind the UK’s most engaged workforces, cut from the stage audio and published through the year.

    If you would like to feature in a podcast, either as a speaker at the summit or as a partner, contact commercial@ebm.uk. 

  • We keep the editorial and commercial sides separate. The news, research and case-study sections only carry editorially led content; anything that promotes a product or service, or from which your organisation would commercially benefit, is published as sponsored content and is paid for.

    That includes sponsored articles, sponsored research and sponsored webinars. Contact commercial@ebm.uk and the team will talk you through the options and the audience you would reach. 

  • Possibly. Every session at the summit is recorded, but not every recording is published.

    If the session you are looking for isn’t here, email editor@ebm.uk with the session title, stage and year, and we will check the archive and send it on if it is available. 

  • Yes. The Engage Employee community has been built over more than a decade and includes senior HR, people and internal communications leaders at many of Britain’s biggest brands.

    We run commissioned research and surveys into the employee engagement industry on behalf of partners: you set the question, we take it to the community, and the findings are published as a report with you as the research partner.

    Contact commercial@ebm.uk to discuss a brief.
