About this Guide

Working from home was an emerging trend even before COVID-19, but as we know so well, the pandemic threw out many of the old rules, creating incredible cultural shifts almost overnight. Nowhere have these changes been more prevalent than in the workplace. That’s why we wanted to introduce you to Accenture’s important and compelling recent research findings, which they also presented at their Poppulo Bootcamp Presentation.

The research started before the pandemic, identifying the pre-existing trends that COVID-19 put into overdrive. Consisting of a global workforce program of over 5,400 workers and 1,000 C-suite perspectives, Dr. Kelly Monahan and Dr. Tchicaya Ellis Robertson gathered insights on the dramatic changes in workplace habits over the past few years, and what those changes may mean for the future. They identify six key areas for improvement, with demonstrable effects on how employees can respond to the rapid changes in work habits.

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.
