If you haven’t seen it yet the latest issue of the award-winning (IoIC Awards 2013 – Best Mobile category) AQ magazine has been released!
Our Spring 2014 issue has an exciting mix of stories – this issue includes:
The Circle of Life
Much has been written about the generation gap in today’s workplace. All the research indicates that Baby Boomers are very different to Generation Y. But is the truth that simple?
Sequel’s Business Development Director Nick Andrews argues that although one size does not fit all when it comes to employee engagement, labelling people by their generation might not be the right approach.
The Generation Game

How to use mobile for your internal communications
Mobile is a channel that provides an opportunity like no other simply because all of your staff will have one – many with smartphones and a large number with tablets as well. BYOD – that’s Bring Your Own Device, not Drink – is on the rise because usually employees have better personal mobile software than that provided by their company (if any is even provided at all). It is a grassroots movement that is happening to some degree within your organisation, whether you like it or not.
We look at the various ways you can use mobile to your advantage for communicating with employees.
Do you see what I see (IC)?
Communicators have seen a shift over the years in how their audiences wish to receive their messages. We have become used to getting information in quick and easily-digestible ways – you just have to look at social media to appreciate this.
AQ takes a look at some of the ways you can make your communications more visual – from infographics to video to tools such as Prezi.
60 Seconds with… Emily Gibbs, Head of Internal Communications with the Financial Times
In our regular interview-based feature we ask Emily how it feels to win the Young Communicators Award in 2013 from the EACD. Emily co-ordinated the first global Digital Learning Week (DLW) for employees at the Financial Times which had a great impact upon training and engagement – she shares the lessons she learnt from that experience.
