Between April and July 2018, Poppulo conducted a unique piece of research into how employee communications are conducted by IC teams and resonate with employees across a diverse range of industries in the US and Europe.
With internal communications playing a key role in the employee experience, we set out, in conjunction with the world's leading ethnographic research company, Human Factors International, to investigate what communications mean from an employee perspective.The industries included: pharmaceuticals, infrastructure engineering, mail and transport services, healthcare and manufacturing.
Research methods included a combination of work environment observation and in-depth interviews with employees, line managers, and Internal Communicators - to obtain a full picture of communications flow through each organization.
During the research, four distinct generalized personas emerged, with commonly shared characteristics irrespective of industry or sector. The results also show a gulf between the priorities and activities of IC teams, on the one hand, and the needs and wants of employees on the other.
The Marketing & Product Team
It’s no secret that all employees, regardless of industry or role, rely on timely and accurate information to carry out their jobs and remain aligned with the company’s objectives. However, the task of managing internal communication is no longer confined to a single department or function.

We will explore the barriers that communicators commonly face, best practices to overcome them, and how a better understanding of behavior science can be a catalyst for best-in-class communications. Our expert panel, including Lindsay Kohler, Lead Behavioural Scientist at scarlettabbott and Joss Mathieson, Chief Encouragement Officer at Change Oasis, will guide you through a thought-provoking discussion that will shed light on the beliefs, concerns, and practices that often hold communicators back from maximizing their impact, including lack of clarity, limited resources, reduced influence, and the fear of making mistakes. And, drawing from insights gained from our maturity model, our experts will outline key elements that can revolutionize your communication practices. Be prepared to expand your thinking and explore new approaches that will invigorate your approach to communication. Key Takeaways:
Great communicators don’t necessarily make great leaders, but brilliant leaders are always superb communicators. That business leaders today must prioritize communication as a critical skillset is beyond debate. We know it from our own worklife experiences and from having witnessed the critical role CEO communication played during the pandemic, in addition to numerous research papers.
