Benchmarking internal communications: formal strategies bring success

Picture of Michael Carty, Benchmarking Editor

Internal communications are significantly more likely to be both successful and effective if supported by a formal communications strategy, according to 2010 benchmarking research from IRS for XpertHR. 

The IRS/XpertHR Benchmarking survey on absence is based on responses from 109 employers with a combined workforce of 411,415 employees. 

In addition to detailed analysis of the internal communications media used by UK employers, the survey also provides extensive benchmarking data on: internal communications methods used; how internal communications are used in managing major organisational change programmes; and the role played by social media in internal communications.
