Though we’re removed from excellent, we’ve got established a couple of codecs which have proved useful to Runtastic. These strategies assist us distribute right info to the suitable viewers on time.
At the start, we attempt to be interactive the place attainable. We’ve got established fairly a couple of conferences—most of that are voluntary for everybody—in order that all of us keep knowledgeable about what’s occurring.
Firm-wide All-Palms Assembly
Like many different tech firms, we collect all Runtastic workforce members as soon as a month to share probably the most related company-wide info. Most significantly, we begin by celebrating new Runtastics, promotions and household updates. Every assembly has a spotlight matter the place workforce members (the consultants, in spite of everything) share helpful insights.
Administration Q&A
We’ve got devoted a further month-to-month hour to a Q&A with our Administration workforce. The Administration workforce solutions no matter Runtastics have on their coronary heart: be it product strategy-related matters or questions on people-related choices.
Other than these company-wide conferences, a couple of areas (like Advertising or Tech) additionally share their most essential updates through devoted Space All Palms conferences. As well as, our Product groups invite everybody to get Sneak Peaks through the bi-weekly Early Eyes and Dash Demo classes.
Inner Communications Instruments: Slack, E-Mails and the Wiki
The upside of shows is that they permit prompt suggestions and interplay. It’s exhausting to doc the information supplied and even make it searchable for later use.

Preserving an Overview
As we realized that we’ve got quite a lot of info to share inside the firm, the HR workforce determined to roll out a month-to-month Publication, the HR2 (Useful Human Relations Report). With the assistance of Gifs, hyperlinks to helpful articles and supposed puns, we not solely sum up what’s going on but additionally have Runtastics share what strikes them. This consists of private tales on well-being to how they felt about onboarding.
Runtastic has Mastered Inner Communications, Proper?
Whereas we put quite a lot of effort into inside communications (particularly when working from residence), we all know that we’re removed from excellent. Repeatedly, workforce members miss out on info, and our suboptimal Wiki search operate will be problematic. Since we share a lot info, it’s generally exhausting for Runtastics to know the place they’ll discover what they’re searching for, particularly after they solely lately joined.
Regardless, we repeatedly enhance our inside communications and are all the time curious to find out how different firms deal with them. Be happy to share your experiences within the feedback!
