“Trust is the operative word of the century. And it’s been proven numerous times that the voices of businesses are trusted the most by employees over other sources. That’s why leaders have a huge responsibility to ensure that not only should their actions match their words, but that their words are conveyed with authenticity, integrity, and impact,” said Staffbase CEO and Co-founder Martin Böhringer. “VOICES was created to enable, inspire, and equip internal communicators to support their leaders and businesses effectively. We’re convening some of the most brilliant minds in organizational psychology, business communications, and strategy with only one goal: To empower and enable internal communications experts.”
