Did you miss the 11th Annual Strategic Internal Communications – West Conference in San Francisco? If you did, you’ll be itching to know what is currently top of mind for internal communicators from some of the world’s most complex internal comms organizations.
Cerkl held a workshop at the conference that analyzed common struggles faced by internal communicators. The sessions were so profound and impactful, that we decided to take the learnings from the workshop and build out a whole series around what is at the forefront of global internal communication challenges.
Attending the conference was immensely worthwhile because we were able to unearth real-time insights into how these challenges can be tackled effectively right now. We’re going to share feedback from participants with you and show you what you can do to turn things around in your organization.
Role of Internal Communicators in Organizations
We know that internal communicators play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between leadership and employees. This is why we continually look for ways to make their jobs easier.
In the dynamic landscape of organizational communication, internal communicators ensure alignment, employee engagement, performance, and productivity. However, navigating the complexities of internal communication within modern organizations commonly comes with its unique set of challenges and pains.
These challenges can range from managing diverse communication channels to fostering a culture of transparency and trust. Whatever the internal communication challenges are, internal communicators need to constantly adapt to rapidly evolving technologies and shifting organizational dynamics.
During our recent workshop, we uncovered a multitude of pain points and challenges commonly experienced within organizational communication ecosystems. The workshop provided a platform for professionals to share their experiences, exchange best practices, and collectively explore solutions to these pressing challenges. We realized that we needed to identify the most pressing challenges, which is what Maddy Rieman, Head of Customer Success at Cerkl, has done. Maddy has immense insight and has incorporated knowledge she has gained working with more than 400 organizations during more than a decade spent working at Cerkl into her list.

This is Maddy’s list of the most common challenges internal communicators face:
2. Communicating to a diverse and distributed workforce

Building on the rich discussions and insights gained from the workshop, we are excited to announce the launch of a blog post series that will dive deeper into each identified pain point.
