A brand’s vision and values are integral to the decisions made day to day, but are they imparted onto a business, or rather uncovered to already lie within their DNA?

Being over 14 years into a journey of helping businesses share the big picture, Craig Smith - Founder of The Big Picture People - joins us on this week’s episode of Work Happy.

He takes us through the importance of defining and aligning values between the business and its people, how to share stories with increased visibility of our business leaders, and much more.

This episode covers

• Defining personal values and organisational values, and tying the two together
• Company values not being imposed on a business, but uncovered within
• Use of storytelling to convey a brand vision
• Curating a culture of collaboration
• The need to flex to meet the needs of your organisation, and vice versa
• Getting the values off the wall and into the business

Business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) planning helps ensure uninterrupted operations in the event of unforeseen disruptions such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, or other crises. Watch Valorem Reply and Microsoft explore the impact an unexpected disaster could have on your organization, what challenges you might face in implementing your own BCDR strategy, and get a firsthand look at Azure BCDR. Topics include:

• The Value and Importance of BCDR
• Top IT challenges to Implement BCDR
• Impact of an Outage
• Microsoft Azure Solutions for BCDR
• Live Demo
• Q&A

There’s an ever-growing link between internal communications and change management across the board, which is clear to see from observing Asahi’s two functions working so closely together.

Asahi’s Head of Change Management, Soraya Abdelmageed, works closely with Sally Tidman, Internal Comms and Engagement Specialist, to combine the strengths of both teams.

Sally & Soraya join us on Work Happy this week to share how they’re creating ‘Digital Heroes’, tackling the challenge of access, storytelling as an essential quality, and much more.

This episode covers

• The relatively recent creation, and subsequent success, of Asahi’s change management function
• How storytelling is essential to creating change, particularly stories from senior leaders
• Video as an effective messaging medium
• Overcoming communications challenges like language barriers and reaching factory staff
• Asahi’s Digital Hero network

Microsoft Viva is an incredibly useful suite, but to many it presents a dizzying array of tools without the clearest idea on how to extract the most value from them all.

That’s where Silicon Reef’s very own Martin Day comes in, joining Alex Graves this week on the Work Happy podcast to simplify Viva and why it truly matters to your business.

We’ll hear how to pick the modules that best suit your team, allay fears that it’s the ‘death of the intranet’, and much more!

This episode covers

• What is Viva and why your business should be aware of it
• Which of the Viva modules can deliver most value to your team
• How to measure the adoption of these tools
• Pitfalls to avoid when trying to implement a vast number of Viva’s modules

Tiberiu "Tibi" Covaci - Application Innovation Lead at Microsoft Azure
Eric Johnson - Principal Developer Advocate for Serverless at AWS

DESCRIPTION
A few years ago, cloud native was viewed by many as a buzzword or just a developing trend. Today, it has become the standard for companies seeking to boost team efficiency and reduce costs. To fully realize its benefits, a comprehensive understanding of both its capabilities and costs is essential. AWS and Microsoft are two big players on the market and Tibi Covaci, from Microsoft Azure, and Eric Johnson from AWS Serverless, are advocating for cloud native as a default characteristic of any organization, no matter of its size.

Welcome back to a brand new series of the Work Happy podcast, kicking off with Sam Bleazard from Fortnum & Mason, inventors of the Scotch egg…

Sam is an Employer Brand Content Producer, and while that Scotch egg fact may seem trivial, it’s part of the all-important brand story and human experience that should underpin any successful business.

Join us for the start of series 3, where we dive into how vulnerability mirrors strength in business leaders, why you should roll out the red carpet for employees, and the merging of internal and external comms.

This episode covers

• The growing trend of merging specialisms, and cross-discipline work between PR and marketing
• Why it’s vital that there’s a human experience underpinning a business’ story
• How to protect your brand when it’s presented on external platforms
• Blurring lines between internal and external communications
