It’s been a roller coaster three years for workplace communication professionals, as comms proved to be business critical at a time of great uncertainty and rapid change.

We know that. And we know how much that change has transformed the comms function itself, not only elevating its role but also its wider reach across the business, with greater differentiation between organizational and operational communications.

we know about employee comms in 2022 after the whirlwind of the past few years?

Communicators are busier than they’ve ever been but how are their comms landing with employees? Are perceptions meeting reality, or is there a disconnect? What’s working and what’s not—and most importantly, how do employees feel and what do they want from their workplace comms?

To get answers to these and many more questions, we commissioned independent research to survey over 5,000 employees and Internal Communications professionals earlier this year.

Some of the answers surprised us—and we think they will surprise you as well.

Join us on this webinar where you can be among the first to get exclusive first sight of our research findings and hear expert analysis from award-winning employee communications strategist Priya Bates, to help increase your impact as a communicator.

We know how the world of work has been totally upended and its impact on workplace communications. But what don’t we know about employee comms in 2022 after the whirlwind of the past few years?

Internal Comms professionals have been run off their feet, but how has their work been landing with their audiences? What are they doing differently to reach increasingly dispersed employees?

they reaching their people? And what do employees think of the comms they’re receiving?

We commissioned independent research to survey over 4,000 employees and IC professionals to find answers to these and many more questions. The findings revealed a growing divide between perception and reality, between what businesses think they communicate to their workforce and what employees actually experience.

This whitepaper gets under the skin of our survey results and reveals the reality of workplace comms today. It looks at:

Like never before, internal communicators have the technologies that provide the data we need to deliver the right content to the right audience at the right time, and in the format employees want.

It enables us to get really rich insights into levels of engagement and we can target content dynamically to those audiences.

But with all this technology and access to all this people data, there has never been a greater need to personalize content and make it relevant to the people receiving it.

Because relevance is everything. If employees are getting comms that are not relevant to them they just don't want to know – and it undermines the credibility of the IC team.

These Top Tips, from Poppulo's webinar with Brilliant Ink's Ann Melinger and Jackie Berg: 

From data to insights: Using employee data to create more personal and measurable communications,

 shows how you can take advantage of technologies and people data to make your communications more effective.
