Elevating Engagement from App to Studio: The Journey to Transform EX at Amazon

Leslie Letts is passionate about delivering a stellar employee experience (EX) and serving as a bridge between corporate and Amazon’s frontline employees. That’s why she was recognized as a “Bridge Builder” by Ragan’s Top Women in Communications Awards program. Hear how she and her team helped stand up communications in Amazon’s A to Z app for front-line employees during the pandemic — and have since transformed it into a complete “one-stop shop” for all associate communications. It’s an amazing journey that now even includes a world-class broadcast studio and other technology on the horizon designed deliver a 360-degree “surround sound” experience.
