The Value of Belonging in the New World of Work
Access Whitepaper
About this Whitepaper
The business of “belonging” has fast become a hot topic among the C-suite. Once a term owned by the human resources (HR) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) crowd, its value at driving organizational performance is now recognized by 93% of organizations.
Yet factors such as increasing political polarization and the after-effects of the pandemic—including hybrid working—are fracturing workplace cultures. Achieving a sense of belonging among employees is considerably more complex—and increasingly critical. With this backdrop in mind, how can communicators contribute to creating a feeling of belonging in today’s workplace?
In this whitepaper, we’ll explore the business case for belonging and what it means for both individuals and organizations. In addition, we’ll share some useful insights, tools, and tips that can help you to plan an effective, inclusive communications approach.
By the end of it, we hope you’ll agree that sparking better connections, whether that’s between individual employees or through wider, cultural initiatives, is one of the most valuable things you can do to foster belonging.

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.
