Amsterdam-based AkzoNobel is the largest global paints and coatings company and a major producer of specialty chemicals, employing 55,000 people in 80 countries. The company approached Headlines after a recommendation from Shell, also headquartered in The Netherlands.

Working on a retained basis, a multi-skilled team of writers, creatives and internal communications specialists supports the company’s global HR function in delivering its strategy to share best practice and achieve consistent world-class performance.

Our work includes helping to develop communications strategies; creating a structure, brand and content for a global HR intranet; providing ongoing support for a fortnightly HTML bulletin; and creating a suite of materials, videos and training activities to support initiatives linked to diversity and inclusion and employee engagement.

Continuously improving employee communication and engagement should be at the heart of every internal communications team. Headlines’ IC healthchecks are designed to help your organisation re-focus its communications goals, plan for the year ahead and get the best results from your engagement strategy.
