Debra Helwig, Senior Internal Communications Manager at KCoe Isom, spoke at Engage’s Internal Communications Conference this past week.

The two-day virtual event featured round tables, interactive sessions, and speaking slots from a wide variety of internal communications experts. The speakers gave us all some great insights to take home and build upon.

About three-quarters of our firm comes to [MangoApps] every day, to check out content and to use the quicklinks to access the tools they need.

-Debra Helwig, Sr. Internal Communications Manager, KCoe Isom

We were really pleased with Helwig’s presentation, in which she discussed how and why their team chose MangoApps, and gave a tour of the platform. She gave some great advice about how to find success with a modern intranet and knowledge repository. Stream her presentation below.

Debra and her team are a shining example of how implementing a platform like MangoApps can drive employee engagement. They’ve saved their people a ton of time by connecting the dots and creating organized, intuitive pages and directories.
