Email is dead. Or so people keep on saying. Endlessly But, of course, it’s not.
On the contrary, email as a workplace communication tool, is being used by more people in more companies than ever before.
According to the Radicati Group Email Statistic Report 2021-2025, the total number of business and consumer emails sent and received per day will have grown from 319 billion in 2021 to over 376 billion by 2025. So much for being dead.
What has changed, and continues to evolve, is that while email continues to be the most widely used workplace comms tool, it’s now just one of many that companies must have to reach and engage all their employees wherever they are: in the office, on the road, the frontline or the factory floor.
From how to assess your current use, to important measuring techniques and stakeholder analysis, to email planning, structure, and style, this guide is essential for anybody who wants to get the most out of the world’s most widely used and effective workplace communication channel.

In today’s competitive business landscape, it’s increasingly important to showcase the impact and value of internal communication efforts. IC teams that use data-driven strategies can ensure their communications contribute to business success—and, most importantly, that they have the proof to back it up.
It’s time for a strategic communications reset. Strategic focus is key to company success, yet half of internal comms executives say they don’t strategize to deliver their top priorities.
The debate over the return to the office remains divided, with opinions on whether to return—or in what capacity to return—split across the board. Regardless of whether the return is mandatory or voluntary, it will be doomed if the office experience is subpar. If the in-person environment fails to meet employees’ needs and expectations, it will inevitably lead to low morale and poor engagement, making it difficult to retain and attract top talent.
