Hi there,

Happy New Year!

Here at Jostle we love the start of a new year because that’s when we get to sit down and plan out all the exciting things we want to explore, implement, and achieve for the year to come.

We invite you to do the same! And if you need some inspiration, look no further than this month's Jostle Voice. You can get motivated by some previous Jostle Award winners, find some helpful resources for your intranet's News, and even learn what workplace practices are so last year.

Make 2019 your org's year to shine by starting right here!

-Vince

Spotlight on... 

We always love hearing from our customers, especially when they’re doing great things with their intranets to facilitate internal communication. Here’s what five of our customers had to say about how they’ve improved their internal comms. These customers are also Jostle Award winners and we're so proud to see them shine! We hope their experience and track record will inspire you to boost your internal comms this year!

Are you doing anything fun, inventive or inspiring with your intranet? Step into the spotlight and let us know!

• Content guides - with article themes, topics, and examples to help you put together a content road map for the year ahead.

Find all this, plus much more to help you take your News to the next level!

 Extraordinary workplaces in action

• Want to give your organization a fresh start for the new year? Start by doing away with the 7 workplace rules that are holding back your organization.
• There's been a lot of chatter about the curse (or charm?) of open plan offices. If you've got an upcoming office re-design, get the scoop on the pros and cons of open workspaces.

Things that make us...

• Want to take a nap: The cost of sleep deprivation is taking its toll on employees worldwide, so this Japanese company is rewarding employees who get more sleep!
• Buy stamps: Want to amass an international collection of postcards by only travelling as far as your nearest mailbox?
• Rethink the norm: If your company is hitting the conference circuit this year, ditch the old swag and delight attendees with unconventional giveaway ideas.
