A good internal communication plan is critical to how a business operates and functions. Despite its importance and everyone’s good intentions, we have found that not all internal communication teams have a strategic internal communication plan in place. The lack of a strategic plan tends to manifest in various aspects: it can influence the team's operation, alter communication with staff, and often can significantly affect the overall business performance.

In a testament to our innovative solutions and exceptional leadership, Simpplr has received numerous industry awards in recent months. These accolades span employee experience technology, communications excellence, and executive recognition, highlighting our commitment to transforming how organizations connect with their employees.

Most intranet failures start with short-term thinking — choosing the most affordable option, the easiest migration path, or the platform with flashy features. A year later, you're managing a stagnant intranet that employees avoid and leadership questions.

The use of AI in the workplace is no longer a futuristic concept — it’s a present-day reality that is reshaping how we work, communicate, and create value.

Every leader communicates — but not every leader communicates well. How you speak, listen, and respond shapes your influence, your team’s culture, and your organization’s outcomes. Yet, few leaders receive formal training on the communication styles that drive clarity, connection, and trust. Instead, they fall back on habits — some helpful, some harmful.

An economic slowdown forces difficult choices as budgets tighten across industries. Executives scrutinize every software renewal and platform investment with unprecedented rigor. The mandate is clear: Demonstrate immediate value or face the budget axe. This pressure hits just as employees demand better digital experiences to navigate increasingly complex digital workplaces.

Workers check their phones throughout the workday, yet many companies continue to limit vital information to desktop intranet portals. This disconnect leaves staff uninformed and undercuts your technology investments.

The difference between guessing what employees want and knowing what they need comes down to one thing: asking. But traditional employee survey tools often create more friction than results. Simpplr Surveys changes that equation by bringing employee feedback and listening directly into your digital workplace.

Generative AI has changed how Americans communicate at work. No longer just a theory, this content-creating technology now powers daily workflows across industries. From drafting messages to answering employee questions, AI in the workplace is reshaping internal communications and creating new possibilities for employee connection.

Many organizations have high hopes when launching their intranet — fresh interfaces, new content and the opportunity for seamless collaboration. As the shine fades and initial excitement wanes, many intranets begin to suffer from a lack of ownership and governance.
