Engaging Employees through Video
Video is the easiest and most effective way to share information with your employees. Creating engaging and informative content allows employees to better understand the impact of a new process or training program. Using visuals and quick snippets also makes it easier for people to retain information, and it keeps them watching so you can ensure they don’t miss out on anything important. I created the following videos using editing tools such as Clipchamp, PlayPlay and Canva.
The Rollout of LastPass
CECO rolled out a new requirement for securely storing online login credentials through LastPass. To support IT’s goal of high adoption by users, I created an instructional video that outlined the importance of LastPass and how easy it is to set up an account.
Educating about lean
With the first workshop of LEAN practitioners completed, it was important to show how using the LEAN principles would benefit CECO. Who better to explain this than the participants themselves, including the LEAN instructor? As a company with majority remote employees, the interviews were captured through recorded video calls.
Celebrating success
Getting close to 100% participation in code of conduct compliance training can be a challenging task, so when your numbers show that employees are taking an interest in completing their training, it’s time to celebrate and thank them.
creating a central place for information
In 2023, I worked with IT and marketing to create an employee portal on SharePoint called myCECO. The portal was designed to be a central place for sharing stories and news, company information and important quick links. myCECO launched in late June 2023 and content was added to it at a regular cadence.

TELLING STORIES THAT INSPIRE
Feature stories that are published on employee channels don’t need to just inform, but they should inspire others. At CECO, I wrote employee spotlight stories that focused not just on what an employee did day-to-day but more so on what motivates them, how they support their local community or what advice they can provide. Other stories highlighted interesting “Did You Know?” subjects or demonstrated the positive impact of charitable giving. Here are just a few examples:
