• According to Gallagher's State of the Sector 2020 report, 70% of companies globally agree that internal communication is involved in driving the employee experience and people agenda. Gallagher's survey was conducted in 45 countries across 33 industries and almost half of the surveyed companies have more than 5,000 employees.
• The research conducted by Towers Watson reveals that companies with highly effective internal communication are "7 times more likely to outperform their peers." According to Zahra Media Group, "an engaged workforce enables 2 times higher productivity, 3 times faster profit growth, 2 times lower employee turnover, and 19.2% growth in operating income."
• The 2019 Internal Communicator Index report of the global workforce communications platform SocialChorus reveals that 75% of companies are investing more in employee engagement than they did two years before 2019. The survey shows that internal communications have taken a more essential role in organizations.
• According to Sonia Fiorenza, SocialChorus's vice president of communications and engagement strategies, "Employees need consistent and comprehensive communications from their company to feel included in the overall company direction, build trust and buy into what the organization stands for. Because of this, it is no surprise that organizations are investing in internal communications more so than ever before. As the ways in which companies engage employees continue to evolve, the role of the communicator will only grow as they look to keep up with the demands of the modern workforce."
