LED screens are now a standard feature of commercial and public spaces such as shops, restaurants, transport hubs, and healthcare facilities. However, they are also now widely used to enhance internal workplace communication. In today’s fast-paced work environment, employees often do not have the time to read traditional memos or noticeboards.

Emails also quickly get buried in the noise and have little impact. Therefore, many businesses are turning to digital signage solutions to revitalise and improve internal company communications. Here are just some of the ways that LED display screens are being used.

Company announcements

Companies often need to impart news and information to their employees, and a digital screen is a swift and effective way to do this without the need to filter it through layers of management or resort to more easily missed communication methods such as emails and notice boards.

Digital screens can be used to provide updates about company projects or achievements, or to announce new appointments to key job roles. They can also be used to display motivational messages and celebrate the achievements of teams or individuals. This helps to build a sense of camaraderie among the employees.

Event calendars

Businesses are packed with meetings and events, so a digital display calendar makes sure that everyone understands what is happening and when. This can avoid frustrating mishaps such as double-booked meeting rooms, and keeps upcoming events fresh in people’s minds. Timely reminders can be issued prior to the event, ensuring that no one misses out.

Keeping up with training and development

All businesses benefit from a well-trained workforce who are equipped with the latest skills, and are able to work across different roles if necessary. The screens can be used to showcase training videos and learning and development programmes to ensure that staff are up to date with their knowledge, and are given the opportunity to progress in their roles.

This can also be useful when onboarding new staff or when staff are transferring between departments. Continual training and development helps to keep staff interested and motivated in their job roles, and this minimises turnover and helps to foster a positive company culture.

It also improves the productivity and efficiency of the company, helping it to remain competitive and establish a good reputation within the industry. 

Social media feeds

If the company has social media feeds, these can be displayed to keep staff informed about news and events in the sector, or to display staff-generated content or inspiring or entertaining messages. 

Mission statements

The company mission statement should be at the heart of all the actions of employees, as well as transparent to visitors and customers. The digital screen is an ideal way to display the company mission statement in a prominent area to ensure that it stays at the forefront of everyone’s minds. 

Performance metrics

In certain sectors, a company may wish to display targets or key performance indicators to record progress and to keep managers and team members informed about current goals and achievements.
