New transformation & change comms roles

New insights

  • Only 19% of associates trust their CEO to tell the truth about the organization according to Edelman’s latest Trust Barometer survey focused on the workplace. As usual with this report, lots of good points about how employees trust managers and some new data on the impact of transformation, AI, and economic optimism. If you’re ever in a conversation about whether a one-time message from a leader will have the intended effect, this survey has plenty of data to back up the need for sustained, consistent messaging.

  • Speaking of surveys, ever found yourself weighing the importance of free-text comments in an employee engagement survey or a post-town hall feedback form? Culture Amp published some helpful benchmarks on survey comments that are worth considering.
