[Main Stage Keynote] Being Comfortable is Not the Goal

Learn how MSCI is taking a bold approach with their internal communications to engage and empower a more modern workforce.

—

Staying ahead of the curve means being modern and bold, but that isn’t always the easiest, most comfortable direction to take. MSCI, an investment solutions firm, is a catalyst of change in transforming the investment industry. Their approach to internal communications is no different.

At MSCI, an investment solutions firm, they have a stated mission to, “bring clarity to a complex investment world” — and they strive to do the same thing with their internal comms. The first step was to bring the company out of its comfort zone and move toward a more modern approach to communication and employee engagement. They realized that to attract stronger, tech-savvy employees, they needed to offer a digital experience we are all accustomed to outside of the workplace.

With plans to reinvigorate My MSCI, their employee communications platform powered by Firstup, they were able to move away from sending antiquated email and instead, delivering content to the endpoint each employee prefers, and sending content that would give their teams a reason to engage.

Join Allison Nelik, Executive Director, Head of Global Internal Comms at MSCI as she shares success stories and learnings from maintaining and promoting a global employee engagement platform, including:
