About this Guide

Employees want to have a voice and be heard, respected, and involved. It's something any sensible business leader or communicator should want too. Employees want communication to be open, honest, interactive, trusting and two-way; and they want to know about the business, the reasons behind decisions and the objectives and effects of proposed changes.

These Top Tips will give you the tools to create and nurture the communication environment both you and your employees want in the organization.

You will learn how to create the desired environment characterized by trust, openness, transparency, sharing and engagement – and avoid the negative environment you don’t want: closed, opaque, say-do disconnected and siloed.

The tips will walk you through:

  • How to Communicate
  • What to Communicate, and
  • How to Listen - perhaps the most important communication skills of all

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.
