Blog 5 ways AI can save internal communicators time this festive season Last updated: November 22, 2023 Calculating… The holiday season is almost upon us and for internal communicators, it means multiple communications to engage and inform employees. Whether it’s a thank you message from the CEO, Christmas celebrations, or a look at the year ahead, crafting effective messages during this busy period can be challenging. We recently launched our new virtual AI assistant, Aria. Aria is a powerful tool that uses generative AI to produce high-quality content based on your prompts, streamlining the content creation process. The topic of AI is a controversial one and has been at the forefront of many debates and conversations on how to use it ethically in the workplace. One thing is certain, communicators who take advantage of the benefits of AI will have the upper hand. It’s clear that internal communicators are overworked and under-resourced. Using AI in a responsible way will allow you to save time on routine tasks and focus your attention on more strategic tasks. In this blog post, we’ll explore the pros of using AI and how it can help you save time, especially during the festive season. Time-saving content creation AI can provide you with a framework for content creation, which, in turn, can save you a significant amount of time. Whether you need to draft a Christmas news article, a message from the senior leadership team, or a new policy, Aria can generate initial drafts based on your input. However, it’s important to note that AI shouldn’t completely replace human judgement. Always review and edit the generated content to ensure it aligns with your brand’s voice and objectives. Aria can provide you with a starting point and adding content afterwards will help with authenticity and tone of voice, especially if you’re ghost writing content from a key stakeholder. Personalised communication During the festive season, personalisation is key to engaging employees. We understand the importance of tailoring messages to different audiences. Oak Engage‘s Smart Delivery engine will work out how to get your message to people so you don’t have to. Powered by AI, it can help internal communicators create personalised content that resonates with specific employee groups. Whether it’s highlighting team achievements, recognising individual contributions or sharing department-specific updates, AI can assist in delivering the right message to the right people, at the right time. Generating FAQs Christmas time can often result in a number of employee queries about time off policies, year-end bonuses and other HR-related matters. Aria can generate FAQ documents to address these common queries, easing the burden on the HR team. This not only saves time in crafting responses but also ensures consistency in the information provided to employees. Creative inspiration As the year comes to a close, communicators may find their creative juices running dry. Need some new ideas for content, a new approach to something, or ideas for festive activities and virtual events? Aria can help. By leveraging AI to spark creativity, communicators can keep their strategies engaging and innovative. Check out our blog for some inspiration on how to celebrate Christmas in the workplace.
