Effective Line Manager Communications - a CIPR Inside study
The successful running of any organisation relies on effective and efficient line manager communication. In autumn 2021, CIPR Inside conducted a deep dive into line manager communication. The research painted a clear picture of the IC and HR approach to enabling and supporting line manager communications, as well as the extent to which these skills are valued within organisations.
We hope that the data in this report will spark discussion within and beyond the IC community to increase organisational engagement and ultimately improve line manager communications.

measurement and for RoI internal communication report
Measurement gives us the opportunity to finally prove the impact good communications can have on an organisation. It allows leaders to finally see us as the strategic function and gives us the kudos we deserve. Our Measurement and ROI for Internal Communication report isn’t going to solve all the problems we have when it comes to measuring effectively but the frameworks within the report are a good starting point. We hope you find this report useful and can establish a strong measurement practice within your day-to-day work.
The full report is available to CIPR and IOIC members through their respective CPD and resource portals.
