Employee engagement copywriting – attracting, motivating and retaining talent

Are you looking for an experienced internal communications copywriter who can deliver the right content for your organisation and help to attract, motivate and retain talent?

I’ve worked as an employee engagement copywriter across many sectors, including Finance, Legal, Property and Tech, as well as for many specialist HR and recruitment organisations in the UK and internationally. Much of my work also involves ESG copywriting, helping businesses and their employees to engage with wider communities and follow sustainable approaches.

I’ve also written complete recruitment and employee-aimed websites, such as for Lazard Careers and the Career Transition Partnership. In addition, strategy and tone of voice development has an important role to play in employee engagement.

Employee engagement videos

Videos are a great way of recruiting and engaging employees, and I’ve written or edited numerous scripts for a wide range of employers.

This was the first in a series I put together for Aiven focusing on the unique culture of this Finnish tech company, also creating web copy and employee showcases.

Employee engagement with a delicate difference – ensuring corporate and national security by making sure your colleagues have everyone’s best interests at heart.

 

Radio recruitment commercials

Radio is a great medium for recruitment, and I’ve been writing radio commercials like these for over 30 years for clients such as BT, Lloyds of London, Tesco and London Buses.

This is a post-Covid care home recruitment ad for Anchor Hanover, written at a time when a particularly careful balance had to be struck.

The Royal Mail rap! This recruitment ad for drivers actually worked so well that I ended up writing and recording several new versions.
