About this Guide

IC Surveys find year-on-year that email remains the most widely used employee comms channel. However, communicators aren't spending a lot of time creating emails employee's love to open, and aren't getting the full benefits of this popular channel.

Employees now expect to engage with your digital communications the same way they do outside of work – they want to get information quickly, interact with the message, share with others – and be part of the dialog.

Is it time to take a fresh look at what you're sending and see where you can improve? With today's technology there is absolutely no need for boring templates, dull presentation and irrelevant content!

Download our new guide and we'll show you:

  • How to craft content that connects
  • Use the right tools for the job
  • Provide ideas for impactful newsletters, leadership comms, change and events emails
  • How to use interactivity (e.g. video, personalization, rich media)
  • Emails that drive internal feedback and social collaboration
  • Measurement and insight – how to get it, what to do with it

The AI Toolkit for Internal Communications

The AI Toolkit for Internal Communications

Internal communication is under real pressure. IC teams are expected to support leaders, shape culture, and deliver relevant, personalized communication to an increasingly diverse audience—all while operating at greater speed and scale than ever before. AI arrives at the right moment. It doesn’t replace communicators; it elevates them. Applied well, AI sharpens the fundamentals of effective communication: diagnosing issues, shaping the narrative, guiding leaders, and delivering messages that connect people to purpose and progress. At its best, AI accelerates drafting, adapts content for different formats, improves accessibility, and surfaces insights about what’s landing. Without governance, though, it can create noise or risk. The opportunity for IC teams is to bring AI in thoughtfully, with governance and human judgment at the center. This guide shows how to do exactly that. Inside, you’ll find practical guidance on when to use AI, where humans remain essential, how to establish guardrails, how to prompt effectively, and how to scale AI responsibly across channels and teams.
