About this Whitepaper

Optimizing engagement and employee experience is a priority for organizations of all sizes everywhere these days for very good and sound reasons.

They influence how someone feels about the company they work for right through their tenure and how they speak about it – and recommend it, or not – to others after they leave. And they really influences the bottom line.

With communications being key to both engagement and employee experience, we set out to investigate how comms are conducted by IC teams and how they resonate with employees.

We've conducted a unique piece of research in the US and Europe and this week publish the results in conjunction with this new white paper that covers:

  • The focus on meaning-making in the modern workplace
  • The new era of human-centric employee experience
  • How and why communication is a key piece of the puzzle
  • The shared comms experience of employees across diverse industries
  • How four generalized employee personas have emerged

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.
