There’s no doubt that we’re living in a unique time, a time when people are reporting increasing feelings of isolation, loneliness, and frustration. For many, work is a respite from the difficulties of the greater world, but it can also be a source of stress. How can leaders communicate with their employees to bring them into the fold rather than push them out?
Just a few years ago, leaders could hold a company retreat, bringing everyone together in person. But today, people are working in different environments and from different places. In this environment, inclusive communication is essential. Not only do company leaders need to tell employees what’s going on, but they also need to make sure their leadership & communication style bring everybody in and leave nobody out.
In this executive brief, which is based on a Poppulo Bootcamp Presentation by René Carayol MBE, an Executive Coach and CEO Advisor, we explore how leaders can create an inclusive culture for their employees through the use of inclusive communication.

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.
