“...Used strategically...digital signage can be unbelievably powerful. There are organizations using it to reinforce culture and values, to create awareness of local events, to get news out in a hurry, and even to drive traffic to the intranet…”
- Shel Holtz, Corporate Communications Author, Consultant, and Speaker.
Here are four ways you can utilize digital signage in your next internal meeting:
Display Agenda On-Screen
In a typical meeting, you will likely receive a copy of the meeting agenda. This is your meeting ‘bible’ - a play-by-play of what you should expect and what topics will be covered.
Like any itinerary, the meeting agenda is essential. Everyone wants, or even needs, a copy - and that’s a lot of paper. With digital signage, you never have to worry about printing multiple copies again. A digital screen allows you to effortlessly display your agenda, and any other meeting content to be covered, on a screen that is sure to grab attention.
The best part? Our digital signage system can integrate with a number of different platforms and tools, so that your digital agenda can seamlessly be transferred from computer to screen.
Keep Employees Engaged
Let’s be honest.
Not many employees enjoy sitting in a two hour meeting, particularly when they aren’t contributing to the content or asked to participate. Chances are, they’ve already stopped paying attention to you at the end of the first hour.
A digital signage system will keep your employees engaged and active as long as you are displaying relevant content that coincides with your meeting topics. Employees who feel like they are engaged in their workspace are 59% less likely to look for a job with a different organization in the next 12 months.
This is a great way to have some fun with a meeting. Display questions on your screen, engaging photos or even videos to really keep your meeting fresh and active - no one will be sleeping through a meeting where digital signage is present.

Showcase Important Updates
Our digital signage systems enable you to showcase details at the touch of a button (or screen). With easy-to-use drag and drop functionality and the ability to connect to any data source, what you choose to put on your screen is limitless.
Internal trending information is something that can be easily displayed, as well as information for employee training and even health and safety initiatives.
Help Instill Your Company Culture
While brand awareness is important for both customers and employees, an awareness of what your company culture is important for employees to grasp.
A digital signage system is your chance to brand all of your meeting content and showcase what your company culture is all about. Putting the face and personality of your business into everything you do is a way for employees to draw a strong connection and feeling of familiarity with your brand, and how they fit or are able to contribute. Meetings are a great way to instill this.
A startling 69% of employees were found by Globoforce to say that they would work harder if they felt better appreciated and recognized.
It’s great to have company branding throughout your building, but taking the extra step to integrating your branding and culture into your internal meetings will push you one step ahead to creating a truly innovative business plan and motivated employees.
