New Report shows the current state of the Internal Communications sector

Each year Gatehouse, an internal communication and employee engagement consultancy, publishes the results of its annual industry–wide survey of internal comms professionals in a report it called ‘The State of the Sector’.
This week it released its 2013 findings, revealing the current challenges internal communicators are facing and where their focus will be over the coming months. It also looks at channel use and explores the impact of new and emerging technologies like Enterprise Social Networks and Apps.
As well as being an insightful snapshot of internal communications today, the report is a useful way to:
  • See how you measure up against other organisations
  • Win support for new projects, and
  • Help you decide what to focus on

To download your copy of the free report, visit the Gatehouse website.

Embodiment for Coaches & Trainers Workshop

Those of you involved in coaching and training may find this new practical workshop from VoxImpact (Maria Wilhelmsson) interesting.

Lead by Mark Walsh, one of Europe’s leading ‘embodied’ trainers, the workshop sets out to look at how our physical presence impacts the way we work with and influence others. It aims to demonstrate how participants can make better use of posture, movement and breathing, as well as better assessments of the signs from others, to improve the learning experience and improve results – even in a no-nonsense business environment.

The workshop will take place in Morges on Friday 23 May from 09:00-17:30.

For more information or to register, visit the relevant page on the VoxImpact website.
