Communicating Through Constant Change: From Noise to Meaning

When change never stops, most employees experience internal communication as noise – not meaning. In this Engage Employee Summit podcast episode, a live panel with Nicole Sarmiento Quevedo, Project Office & Campaign Lead Global Internal Communications at Merck, Juliette Green, Head of Internal Communication, Engagement & Culture at RAC and Linzi Elder-Gibbins, Head of Internal Communications at Shoosmiths explores how internal communication teams can turn constant change into clarity that actually lands.Drawing on very different contexts – from 63,000 colleagues across 60+ countries, to roadside patrols with five minutes a day to read anything, to time‑poor lawyers – the panel lifts the lid on what happens when comms are brought in early as true strategic partners versus “can you send a newsletter on Friday?”. They share real stories of slowing major programmes down to avoid “car‑crash” change, designing around frontline realities, and using pilots, champions and employee voice to move from sell‑and‑tell to listen‑and‑adapt.
