Aviva FM radio helps with internal communication in pandemic

Internet radio for Aviva FM employees, launched in February, proves to be a helpful tool for internal communication. The radio currently broadcasts an hour-long program on Friday afternoons. You can listen to it live or listen to the recording later.

"In the pandemic, we looked for new ways to communicate with our employees. The format of the radio was right on time, it strengthens the bond between employees through less formal communication," Klaudia Szymczak of Aviva's internal communications team and the originator of the radio, said.

In each broadcast, there is a representative of one of Aviva's teams and tells about the work of the department from a lesser-known side.

"We don't mean just facts and figures, but curiosities that show the specifics of the work. I also ask, for example, about failures that we can now laugh about," Klaudia Szymczak added.

The music for the broadcast is proposed by the employees. The air includes a range of soft ballads to rock sounds, so everyone can hear the music they like. The name of the radio – Aviva FM – was also chosen by the employees from among many proposals presented earlier.

"We monitor the number of listeners and we assume the further development of the medium. The radio would not be created without our IT teams," Klaudia Szymczak said.
