Providing frequent, concise updates to inform employees of organisational activities fosters transparency and alignment. This internal communication practice helps employees feel valued and empowered to contribute to business success.
While daily updates differ from weekly or monthly updates in their short-term focus, they are a crucial element of effective internal communication to ensure real time alignment and engagement. This article explores the value of daily updates, how to implement them effectively, and strategies for creating impactful messages that resonate with your team.
By definition, a daily update is an informal report or summary of current events. This includes both business-related news and societal developments that affect the company. It can also include reminders for upcoming tasks or deadlines, or other important dates and events. This type of update is most effective for organisations with fast-paced environments and large teams, as it reinforces a sense of urgency and helps employees stay informed.
To set up a daily update, you need to create a new field within a sheet and configure it to automatically populate with today’s date. Then, whenever someone changes the date in the field, the workflow will trigger and apply that change to the sheet’s TODAY formula.
When a user invokes your Action and subscribes to the daily update intent, they will receive an Assistant notification at their scheduled time each day. To improve the likelihood of subscription, consider showing the user the benefit of the service before prompting them to register and avoid repeating the registration prompt in too many contexts.
