How often does it happen that the bigger the company gets, the more disconnected management is from the employees?
How often does it happen that the bigger the company gets, the more disconnected management is from the employees? It's understandable - there are many responsibilities, many people and departments with their managers. It is not unusual for a company that started small where everyone knew their CEO and consistently communicated with them to only hear from the management a couple of times a year. The moment all the employees stop fitting in one room, there is a lot of opportunity for chaos. It's very common for culture to quickly turn into a mess, which does not lead to good internal communication. People want to feel like they are a part of something bigger, be included in the decision-making process, and stay connected.
Enter - executive announcements, an easy way for leadership (or really anyone!) to communicate with the rest of the organization. Create an approachable letter to update the company on changes, connect about milestones, or ask for feedback on the recent updates. Make sure it's consistent with a cadence - employees will know what to expect and how best to find out about important company news.
Want to take it a step further? Ask employees about what they would want to see in the executive announcements. Maybe they would like to see a more personal side of the leadership, or there is a lot of interest in how the past quarter went from the financial standup, or maybe they would like to know about coming up holidays. Create valuable conversations with employees consistently to build deeper relationships and ultimately improve company loyalty.
Allow people to hear directly from the CEO with a monthly CEO Update. Direct contact helps set the tone for the company culture, communication style and opens the door for a more connected organization. Make it informative, fun, personal, and customized to fit the company's personality and the CEO.
Inter-department updates are wonderful to keep everyone in the loop on the achievements, plans, and brainstorming opportunities. Whether it's coming from the HR department or the Sales team, it adds another perspective and look-in opportunities for everyone else. Share the knowledge and grow together as an organization.
Whether it's holiday time or open enrollment, company announcements are a must for a company of any size. Have a centralized way to distribute important information and customize who gets to see it.

Explore GuideYes, at Assembly, security is a top priority. Each quarter, we have ongoing security work that is everyone’s responsibility. While we maintain a strong security posture, it was important for us to prove to our customers that we do everything we claim to do. This led us to pursue a SOC 2 Type II report that would provide evidence of our compliance with industry gold-standard security practice.

Assembly connects to the tools your employees use every day to offer an easy, seamless experience with minimal change management.

That depends on the company's permissions set up. That said, over 90% of the employees on Assembly's platform are recognized on a monthly basis. That means nearly every employee across all of our customers are receiving regular recognition from their peers, managers, or leadership. We're extremely proud of this.
They are not required. You can use Assembly without having rewards set up. However, we don't recommend it if you intend to have a high adoption and usage rate. You can always keep the costs down by offering internal culture rewards that are fulfilled by you internally.
No, you can remove allowances from anyone or everyone. It's up to you but we do recommend using points whether they're worth a real dollar value or not. Companies that use points have a much higher engagement rate even if those points don't exchange for real dollars.
