How to defend and expand your internal comms budget for 2024
With the weight of ongoing employee engagement challenges resting on the shoulders of internal comms, the question of how to attain the budget needed to make an impact is back on top of the agenda. We've partnered with Gallagher to help you craft an action plan so you can make the case for more in 2024.
Making 2024 the year of internal comms growth
The rate of internal comms scope expansion is off the charts. But, at the same time, budgets remain stagnant. While no longer undervalued, the function remains under-resourced and underfunded. It’s time to make 2024 the year of more.
In a world where low employee engagement is costing the global economy $8.8tr, this is the time to fight for the resources we need to make an impact in our workplaces and beyond.
In this webinar, we are joined by employee experience agency and internal communications consultancy, Gallagher, to bring you the advice you need to protect your existing budget and make the case for more.
Gallagher share early insights from their annual State of the Sector report, and give up-to-the-minute advice based on the latest emerging trends. Discover how to build a compelling business case that will convert dollar-driven leaders into employee engagement champions.
