From breaking down workplace silos and fostering connections during COVID to onboarding new hires, facilitating cross-country conversations, and enhancing internal mobility during Careers Week, we're proud to support Informa in achieving their goals!
Following the recent merger between Informa Tech and Tech Target, a second RandomCoffee platform has been launched to drive new programs that ensure a smooth integration between both companies.
Informa uses RandomCoffee to tackle key HR challenges, from fostering workplace connections during COVID to supporting internal mobility during Careers Week. Each program is designed with specific settings and matchmaking options to best fit its purpose. Following the merger with Tech Target, new programs are being created to help employees build relationships and ease the transition.
High-level sponsorship ensures RandomCoffee programs are a core part of Informa’s strategy. Leadership backing increases participation, making networking initiatives more valuable and widely embraced across the organization.
Informa blends regular networking programs with targeted events like Careers Week. This mix keeps engagement high, offering both continuous connections and timely opportunities for professional growth.
Informa drives participation through internal campaigns and external visibility on LinkedIn. Success stories, leadership endorsements, and posts from both admins and participants create buzz, making networking initiatives more engaging and impactful.
"With the intention of connecting our global colleague base and learning more about each other's culture, we ran a program with RandomCoffee called Cross-Cultural Conversations." - Savannah Charles, Diversity and Inclusion Manager at Informa
"I had the pleasure of participating in a "Random Coffee" an initiative by Informa Tech aimed at fostering connections among colleagues. I had the chance to chat with Olivia Tait, one of our talented Audience Development graduates at Informa Tech. It was truly enriching to learn about Olivia's journey and her role here." - Felix Moritz, Business Development Manager at Informa Tech
"It is interesting to hear the experiences and insights of other colleagues. The RandomCoffee initiative is also a great way to enjoy a short but informative break from the day-to-day matters we have to deal with!" - David Lewis, Key Account Sales at Informa
"I’ve had many good conversations with many colleagues and the pairing was also good as the program pairs me with people outside of my team and division in some cases. There are a few colleagues from whom I’ve understood different cultures and we shared understanding and meaning of different festivals and rituals" - Anjali Garikipati, Senior Business Data Analyst at Informa
"Several colleagues I met through RandomCoffees later became key collaborators on various projects. This pre-established connection made it easier to work together and enhanced the success of our efforts. I believe RandomCoffees is an excellent initiative." - Prit Raman, General Manager - Corporate Strategy at Informa
