Finding new and innovative ways to communicate with employees is becoming increasingly necessary in the modern corporate world. One way to do this is to use corporate desktop wallpaper on employee computer screens as a communication channel to relay important information that the company wishes to convey to its staff.

The background on your employees’ computer desktops is valuable real estate for communicating with them. The space can be used to display all sorts of messaging, from corporate values to reminders about security or news and information about your organization’s latest projects, products and initiatives.

It’s a great way to passively reinforce messages that you are delivering to employees via other channels. Whenever they look at their computer desktops, they’ll see the information you want them to see. This method isn’t as obtrusive as other methods of communication.

Having corporate wallpaper also ensures that your employees aren’t setting their own and using images that are inappropriate.

In many companies, deploying uniform corporate wallpaper tends to be done via the IT department using the Group Policy feature that is built into Windows. Group Policy is a tool that enables centralized management and configuration of a range of Windows features on user computers, such as applications and user settings.

Employees are looking at their computer screens for a large chunk of the day. Are you capitalizing on the unused space in the background of their screens?
