Inclusive Internal Communications
Forget Campaigns. Build an Employee Advocacy Movement
Consider this. Over 60 million U.S. employees already flood social feeds with unfiltered stories about their workplaces – unpaid, unprompted, and undeniably real. No media spend. No corporate jargon. Just pride, amplified. When an admin posts on a Linkedin corporate page, 30% of the engagement comes from employees, who are 14X more likely to share […]
Stop treating Internal Comms as a box tick
First published on Strategic, March 19, 2025 Internal communication (IC) isn’t ‘extra credit’ work. It’s the foundation of a thriving organization.

This mindset has led to a dangerous pattern of undervaluing IC and dismissing its […]

The winds are shifting. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), once a cornerstone of organizational priorities is now on shaky ground, particularly in the U.S., where the government has dialled back support and even asked for reporting on DEI activities. Some companies are scaling back their initiatives, others are rebranding them quietly, and many employees are […]
Is Your Workplace Truly Multigenerational or Just Co-Existing?
I remember launching a ‘reverse mentoring’ initiative at a former employer to help a senior leader understand how Gen Z thought, felt, and engaged. It was eye-opening, both for him and for me.
