Setting your DE&I benchmarks around employee feedback

While two thirds of communicators told Ragan that they identify DEI as a top priority at their organization, only 40% said their organization has created a DEI leadership position.

You’ll learn:

  • Ways to partner with HR to build a diverse talent recruitment pool and promote upskilling initiatives that create new leaders

How Email Metrics and Benchmarks Can Improve Your Internal Communications Strategy

Research shows that 80% of internal communicators believe internal comms was elevated to a more critical position over the past year. However, without measurable goals and a data-driven approach to internal communications, it can be challenging to develop a consistent, successful internal communications strategy.

It also remains the most commonly used internal communications channel.

In this session, we will dive deep to discover industry-specific internal email benchmarks that will empower you to set realistic goals, offer expert advice on how to interpret data, and measure your communication effectively, using a tool like ContactMonkey.

What you’ll learn:
