Use images to engage dispersed or remote teams! No budget for Stock photos? No problem. Creating visually appealing internal communication content can be fast, easy, and not break the bank. Keep reading to discover how to create more efficiently.
The power of visuals in employee communication
Our brains love visual information. MIT reports that the human brain can process entire images in just 13 milliseconds — the first evidence of such rapid processing speed.
Do not get us wrong; what you say and write is of great importance. Yet, keep in mind people, especially the non-desk workforce who are constantly on-the-go, appreciate content that is easy to consume.
Furthermore, there is evidence of increased attention and interaction on digital posts, news, or updates that contain images. For instance, a study on what makes content viral by The Huffington Post found that having at least one image in a Facebook or Twitter post, means significantly more shares. This correlates with our team’s and partners’ experience on their Actimo employee app; information paired with attractive visuals has more engagement.
In this day and age, images certainly help capture attention and convey a message. Examples of their positive impact in marketing for products and services, and academics, abound. Yet, the power of visuals bleeds into employee management as well. Using beautiful images can also drive remote engagement results for internal marketing, employee communication, onboarding and training.
Engaging content helps engage employees, wherever they are.
Including images in employee communication can help:
- Spark interest.
- Increase understanding.
- Reinforce a message and help with recall.
- Humanize the employer brand, and build connections.
