How do you connect distributed field staff with leadership when they're on the road between appointments? Kristen Griffiths, Associate Director of Communications & Patient Advocacy at Incyte, found the answer with an internal podcast called "The Connection Lab." After survey data showed employees wanted more leadership visibility, Griffiths developed what she calls "culture on demand"—an audio-first solution that lets field representatives connect with executives during drive time. The podcast features leaders sharing personal stories that create authentic connections written communications never could, like an executive revealing how a family member's chronic illness inspired her pharmaceutical career. In this session, Griffiths reveals how she transformed employee engagement through the simple power of human storytelling.
