Is 2024 the year we unlock AInternal Communications?
Annual performance reviews are so 2023. In 2024, if you’re not strategising ways to create a more connected, engaged, and empowered workforce, powered by AI and driven by hyper-personalisation and real-time feedback, you’re speaking to the past, not the future.

What can US businesses teach SA about inclusion at work?
We may think of workplace diversity as a problem unique to South African businesses based on our history, but it's not. We only have to look to the US, where chief diversity and inclusion officers and gender-neutral pronouns are part of business to realise that maybe we have a thing or two to learn from our counterparts up north. 23 Sep 2022 Read more

Gender equality: How woke (or broke) is your internal comms?
It's Women's Month - that time of year when every company becomes 'woke' to the issues affecting their female employees and the many ways their recruitment programmes, wellness initiatives and gender equality policies are fighting the good fight and winning. And yes, many companies have made very real strides in transforming the workplace into a place where women have voices and make choices from positions of real power and influence across the board and, indeed, on the board. 3 Aug 2022 Read more

When innovation is the path of greatest resilience
Many businesses are still operating in that emergency 'first response' mode - reacting to every challenge every day, just to survive.
