The role of leaders in internal communicationMegan Thomas
While a leader’s presence in the market is likely to be quite evident, the way they communicate internally with their people will not usually be on display. So, if you are an internal comms professional, how do you know if you are on top of best practise approaches and doing a good job supporting your leaders? What does the most effective leadership communication look like?
These questions prompted me to conduct some research and find out what leaders in other organisations were doing. This includes a first ever survey of insights from 79 communicators. I hope these thoughts provide other comms professionals with some useful ideas about how to approach and influence leadership communication in your organisations.

13. People always say, ’’Make sure you get a job doing
what you love!’’ But that isn’t the best advice. The
right job is the job you love some days, can tolerate
most days, and still pays the bills. Almost nobody
has a job they love every day.

- People are realistic and reasonable, but many of us spend hours
(years!) at work, so culture and environment are important
- Ethics, CSR and ‘doing good’ are important – especially to young people
- Flexibility and recognising the importance of work-life balance is crucial

Cheesey stock image - this is what it feels like, right?
More than half of us believe there's no such thing
64% of people said they were ‘satisfied’ in their current job
67% of people from North West said they were ‘satisfied’ in their current job, higher than our survey’s national average (64%)
REALITY:
Ingmur quote
So, we all have the ability to be happy
Broken down by time:
57% of the time we're happy in our jobs
Which means of the roughly 260 working days each year, 148 of them, we are happy
OR IN MY DAD’S CASE: OVER 5.5 YEARS NOT BEING HAPPY!
2.85 days in a working week
12.5 working days in February
Roughly 261 working days in a year = 148 of those ‘happy’
Well, it's these guys.
Why? Plentiful work / working outdoors / sense of accomplishment

Where's happy?
Well - they're probably not and I'm sure anyone who has to use Southern Rail everyday probably has happiness that is limited to the days the service is running on time
BUT, nevertheless, South East is happiest at work - which is supported by ONS estimates on happiness in their Annual Population Survey on Personal Wellbeing

Question asked: What would make you more happy in your current job?
Also on this list:
More perks
More support
More incentives
Less pressure to get so much done
PEAK PERKS...
The point here is that people have realistic ambitions and desires when it comes to perks
It's not private jets and wads of cash, actually what people value most are the perks that will help them live their lives.
Much-used term to describe something which I, personally, find highly subjective and unquantifiable.

Options or working from home, flexible hours etc will all contribute, but in
And there's definitely a trend - France email example / VW email example - response to always being connected?
Employment rate is at an historic high, more women than ever are at work, so there's a need for many of us ESPECIALLY GEN X, to achieve a work-life balance. NOTE: it's not about slacking, it's about responsibilities
GEN Y – used doing whatever they like whenever they like on their devices – time is less of a factor?
Contentious and surprising - and almost certainly restricted to older workers – triple lock

Young people can barely afford the rent, let alone buying a house, let alone a pension

31% said they'd like a boss who is a family woman or man themselves.
17% said they'd like a boss who enjoys a pint!
