Top Trends & 10 Video Ideas to Boost Employee Engagement

In today’s fast-paced work environment, keeping employees engaged is crucial for productivity and morale. When people feel involved, valued, and part of a team, they contribute fresh ideas, stick around longer, and take pride in their work. As work models shift—blending in-office, remote, and hybrid setups—it’s important to understand the trends shaping engagement and match them with video content that resonates.

Key Engagement Trends

1. Hybrid & Remote Collaboration
Teams are spread across home offices and company sites. Engagement efforts must bridge the distance—think virtual gatherings, shared digital spaces, and consistent content that connects everyone.

2. Holistic Well-Being
Employees look for support in all areas: mental health resources, financial guidance, and programs that recognize life beyond work. Highlighting these offerings shows you care about the whole person.

3. Genuine Inclusion
DEI isn’t just a buzzword—it means creating spaces where every individual’s background and perspective add value. Engagement comes from knowing your voice is heard and your experience matters.

4. Clear Purpose & Values
People want to understand how daily tasks support broader goals. Videos that link team achievements to company missions help employees see the impact of their work.

5. Personalized Growth Paths
Training sessions, mentorship pairings, and clear career steps keep staff invested. Showcasing real examples of career progression can motivate others to seek similar paths.

6. Open Leadership
Teams trust leaders who communicate honestly—sharing updates, admitting challenges, and inviting feedback. Videos where leaders speak directly to staff foster a sense of partnership.

How Video Connects Teams

• Real Moments in Action: Viewers experience actual day-to-day scenes instead of reading about them.

• Stronger Team Bonds: Hearing peers’ voices and seeing familiar faces builds camaraderie.

• Wide Accessibility: Whether on your intranet, Slack, or social channels, video content travels quickly.

• Employee Recognition: Featuring individuals on camera shows appreciation and boosts morale.

10 Video Concepts

1. A Day in the Life
Film several colleagues—remote and on-site—going through a typical workday. Capture morning check-ins, task handoffs, breaks, and end-of-day wrap-ups to highlight team routines and collaboration styles.

2. Why I Choose This Company
Interview employees across roles: ask about their favorite projects, memorable moments, and what makes the culture special. Weave clips together to show diverse perspectives.

3. Project Behind the Scenes
Document a recent initiative from start to finish. Film brainstorming sessions, milestone celebrations, and the final deliverable. Include candid remarks about challenges overcome.

4. Wellness Snapshot
Show employees joining yoga breaks, mental health workshops, or financial planning seminars. Include brief testimonials on how these programs help balance work and life.

5. Learning Spotlight
Follow an employee through a training program or certification process. Record their first impressions, key takeaways, and how they’re applying new skills on the job.

6. Community Outreach
Film your team volunteering or hosting a charity event. Capture hands-on moments—packing meals, planting trees, or mentoring students—to underscore your organization’s community commitment.

7. Stories of Inclusion
Invite a panel of colleagues from different backgrounds to share what inclusion means to them. Record honest reflections on support networks and company initiatives that have made a difference.

8. Leadership Fireside Chat
Set up a relaxed Q&A with executives. Let employees submit questions ahead of time. Record leaders discussing company direction, recent wins, and how staff contributions shape the future.

9. Milestone Celebrations
Gather clips of work anniversaries, promotions, and team wins. Include quick messages from colleagues congratulating each other, plus any fun traditions you observe.

10. Employer Brand Highlights
Compile the best moments from the videos above into a 60–90 second reel. Use upbeat music and brief voiceovers to tie everything together into a cohesive narrative.
