Internal communications - broken
(Posted by francois to: marketing communications )Corporate blogging today relates the results of a Scandinavian survey (surveyed 12,000 people in 24 companies) about internal communications (here). The results are pretty poor - and I am sure that if we were to run a similar survey in the US or broader Europe, the results would be pretty similar.
Check this out:
- Top management is neither visible nor credible. Just 4 out of 10 think the top execs do what they say.
- Strategic communication doesn't succeed. Only 50 % of the employees say they know the goals and strategies of their company.
- 50 % feel that they are not enough informed about changes in the company.

Blogs can help internal communication, but if so many companies still don't get the message that internal communication can help them, I don't know if there's much chance they will even understand the possible benefits of a blog! (Not to mention simply engaging with their employees therough more traditional internal comms means). See "The drivers of internal communication" at http://www.simply-communicate.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=61&d=68&h=60&f=75&dateformat=%25e-%25h-%25y .
