Stories. They foster connections and connect employees. They bring the human perspective of issues to life. When it comes to improving Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs (DEI), stories from your team members are a must.
In 2020, the world faced a reckoning as we grappled with the murder of George Floyd. As we sought to better understand racial and socioeconomic divides, leaders everywhere made commitments to more actively embrace and support DEI. As part of these efforts, storytelling emerged as a helpful tool.
Now that substantial time has passed, it’s time to reexamine our efforts. Did the commitment you made or renewed in 2020 result in action? Have your efforts stagnated? Have you found ways to share employee stories, bringing new voices into the light? In this guide, we explore how to promote DEI efforts through employee storytelling.

Securing leadership support for internal communication initiatives can often feel like an uphill battle. Many communications professionals find it challenging to get executives to recognize the value of effective internal comms, making it difficult to drive engagement and alignment across the organization. But with the right strategies, communicators can bridge this gap and bring leadership on board, securing extra support and resources.
Internal communicators are at the heart of their organizations, connecting all the dots, bringing cohesion to whatever chaos the world introduces, and ultimately moving their companies forward. Simply put, IC is crucial, and therefore, communicators are constantly busy. In that rush to ensure effective employee communications, we've found that communicators are spending less time thinking strategically about their own careers. That's why we want to set aside time to talk about how to advance your career in IC—while at the same time ensuring the steps you take are beneficial for your organization.
