New Rules Internal Comms Cover

Why internal communication needs a reset

Today’s workplace is distributed, asynchronous, and saturated with messages. Email, chat, meetings, and tools compete for attention—often creating more noise than clarity.

This white paper explores how internal comms must evolve to meet this reality. It shows why the intranet should become the backbone of communication, not just another channel. You’ll discover how to:

  • Use the intranet as a true communication hub
  • Secure internal messages in a hybrid environment
  • Make compliance part of everyday communication
  • Replace fragmentation with integrated communication
  • Apply 7 concrete steps to modernize your comms in 2026

With real-world case studies (Rubix, Quest Diagnostics) and practical frameworks, this guide moves beyond theory and into execution.

Here's why you need this guide:

Because internal communication is no longer about “sending messages.” It’s about:

  • Reaching people who don’t share the same office, hours, or tools
  • Reducing digital chaos instead of adding to it
  • Proving the impact of your communication strategy
  • Making security and compliance invisible—but effective
  • Building trust in a world of constant change

If your teams are hybrid, global, or overwhelmed by channels, this guide gives you a clear path forward—grounded in reality, not trends.
