CONVENE COMMUNICATIONS
Build the employee experience your people deserve, and your stakeholders expect.
The best digital workplaces put employees at the center while delivering the outcomes leadership is counting on. We help you build one that does both.
The best digital workplaces start with the people who use them. When your employees can find what they need, connect with each other, and do their best work, engagement follows, and so does the business value your stakeholders are looking for. For nearly two decades, Convene has helped Communications and HR leaders build exactly that: digital workplaces designed around the employee experience, and the strategy behind it that makes the difference.
Where Communications, HR, and IT meet
The hardest part of building a great digital workplace isn't the platform. It's getting Communications, HR, and IT aligned on what you're building and why. These teams speak different languages and measure success differently, and when they pull in different directions, even the best platform stalls. This is the work Convene does best: bringing those groups together around a shared vision, the governance to sustain it, and a strategy that keeps the employee experience at the center. It's how a digital workplace becomes something your people actually use, and something your stakeholders can stand behind.
Everything we do starts from the same place: the employee. Not the platform, not the org chart, but the person trying to get information that makes sense to them, where and when they need it. That mindset runs through all of it, the strategy, the governance, the roadmaps, the day-to-day project work. And as AI rapidly changes how people find and absorb information, designing around the employee is what lets you turn it into a real advantage.
Our Offerings
We start by understanding where you are: what's working, where the challenges are, and where the real opportunities lie. From there, the work is strategic at its core, giving your digital workplace a clear purpose, the right channels, and a plan to match, always grounded in the employee at the center.

Scott Ashen
Managing Partner
Good. Here's the full bio rebuilt around Option 4 as the opener, keeping everything else we settled:
Scott Ashen, Founder
For nearly two decades, Scott has helped Communications and HR leaders create workplaces where employees feel informed, connected, and valued. He founded Convene Communications to focus on exactly that, partnering with leaders at companies like American Express, New York Life, and CVS Health to lead employee experience initiatives from early strategy through launch and adoption.
His work spans financial services, healthcare, and consumer goods, among other industries, with a consistent through-line: keeping the employee at the center while bringing Communications, HR, and IT into the same conversation. It's a perspective shaped by a career that started inside HR and grew across strategy, governance, and the day-to-day work of making change stick.
Scott's instinct to start with the employee traces back to where he trained: Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, where the work is fundamentally about understanding people at work. He also holds an MBA, and brings both lenses, the human and the strategic, to every engagement.
