It\u2019s quite simple. Video offers a compelling visual connection that other internal communication cannot provide, especially for companies with enormous workforces in far-flung cities.

Never before has it been as important to provide employees an optimal digital work environment. And never before has it been so confusing to do so. As a Chief Human Resource Officer you want to provide inviting, efficient and fulfilling employee experiences. As a Chief Technology Officer you want technology that is extensible and provides flexibility for business changes. As a Chief Communication Officer you need channels that break through digital noise and enable effective and efficient bi-directional communication with employees. As Chief Financial Officer you want a comprehensive solution and commercial model that comes at a low financial impact and ultimately pays for itself. And as employees we want to be able to do our jobs in a frictionless, effective manner with tools that have the same style and ease of use that we have become accustomed to in our personal lives. The good news is that enterprise technologies, social constructs and many work cultures have evolved to the point where all of this is possible. The challenge is evaluating the seemingly endless technology and process options to make this a reality for any one company. This blog is my attempt to share what I have learned working with Global 2000 companies over the last 26 years to solve various instantiations of these same challenges. I do not have all of the answers, and I fully suspect that through the process of researching, talking to others and writing, I will likely learn as much as anyone who reads these posts. At the very least, by the time I retire, maybe I will have documented enough knowledge and insight to have helped someone, somewhere.\",\"sameAs\":[\"andyjankowski\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/AndyJankowski\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/author\/admin\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Why Video is Integral to Internal Communication","description":"Why would companies want to add video, yet another form of internal communication, to the mix?","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2012\/05\/17\/why-video-is-integral-to-internal-communication\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Why Video is Integral to Internal Communication","og_description":"Why would companies want to add video, yet another form of internal communication, to the mix?","og_url":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2012\/05\/17\/why-video-is-integral-to-internal-communication\/","og_site_name":"Enterprise Strategies","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EnterpriseStrategies","article_published_time":"2012-05-17T13:54:13+00:00","article_modified_time":"2015-07-27T18:12:09+00:00","og_image":[{"width":805,"height":604,"url":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/video.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Andy Jankowski","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@AndyJankowski","twitter_site":"@workingevolved","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Andy Jankowski","Est. reading time":"1 minute"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2012\/05\/17\/why-video-is-integral-to-internal-communication\/","url":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2012\/05\/17\/why-video-is-integral-to-internal-communication\/","name":"Why Video is Integral to Internal Communication","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2012\/05\/17\/why-video-is-integral-to-internal-communication\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2012\/05\/17\/why-video-is-integral-to-internal-communication\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/video.jpg","datePublished":"2012-05-17T13:54:13+00:00","dateModified":"2015-07-27T18:12:09+00:00","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/#\/schema\/person\/5cc50b0a461fb29e9839942d29fc0268"},"description":"Why would companies want to add video, yet another form of internal communication, to the mix?","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2012\/05\/17\/why-video-is-integral-to-internal-communication\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2012\/05\/17\/why-video-is-integral-to-internal-communication\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2012\/05\/17\/why-video-is-integral-to-internal-communication\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/video.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/video.jpg","width":805,"height":604},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/2012\/05\/17\/why-video-is-integral-to-internal-communication\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Why Video is Integral to Internal Communication"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/","name":"Enterprise Strategies","description":"Delivering the Future of Work","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/#\/schema\/person\/5cc50b0a461fb29e9839942d29fc0268","name":"Andy Jankowski","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/enterprisestrategies.com\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/978ad146c4e273d94fd290e33faf0c95?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/978ad146c4e273d94fd290e33faf0c95?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Andy Jankowski"},"description":"Why read this blog?
