Ebook: Leverage the science of storytelling
Employee Recognition and the Powerful Science of Storytelling
For internal communications professionals, the more you engage the brain, the more people can understand and remember the message you’re trying to get across.
In fact, Paul J. Zak, American neuroeconomist, found that people better understand and remember a speaker’s key points when using character-driven stories with emotional content.
This is because humans by nature are social creatures, so if you can craft your message in a way that resonates with your employees, you can amplify important information, humanize leadership, and foster positive behaviors. Let’s talk about the power of storytelling.
With this ebook you will gain:
- The science of storytelling and the emotional impact it can have on your organization.
- What to write, how to interview employees, and how to write authentic employee recognition stories.
- The best places to publish employee recognition stories, and how these stories bring information to life.
