Culture gets talked about constantly. But what actually shapes it day to day? We’re partnering with bink. on a national study of U.S.-based communications and HR leaders to better understand how culture is built, sustained, and tested inside organizations. The survey explores where culture aligns or breaks down, how leadership and systems influence behavior, and what holds up under pressure and change. It takes about 15 minutes to complete, and all responses are confidential and reported in aggregate. Complete it by May 20 for a chance to enter a random drawing for a $500 gift card.

Here’s your weekly dose of what’s happening at the intersection of AI and employee experience: 1️⃣ Human-centered leadership is becoming a business imperative In a workplace built for constant connection, many employees still feel unseen. The reminder: leadership shapes the day-to-day experience of work, and that experience directly impacts trust, retention, and performance. @Forbes 🔗 forbes.com/sites/teresaho… 2️⃣ The future is human + AI AI can turn chaos into competitive advantage, but only when it’s treated as a system. Without clean workflows, useful data, and clear processes, AI doesn’t fix operational chaos. It scales it. @Inc 🔗 inc.com/heather-wilde/… 3️⃣ 15 unique gen AI use cases for internal comms More IC teams are using AI weekly, but the real value isn’t just faster drafting. It’s using AI to map narratives, pressure-test messages, build institutional memory, and turn scattered data into insight. 🔗 simpplr.com/blog/gen-ai-us… 4️⃣ AI learning is becoming the new self-improvement trend For Gen Z and Millennials, building AI skills is becoming part of career readiness. The bigger shift: personal development is moving from self-reflection alone to “self-skill” — learning what helps you adapt and stay valuable. @timesofindia 🔗 timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/spo… 5️⃣AI is making humanities skills newly valuable AI labs are hiring philosophers to help shape how models behave, make decisions, and align with human values. As AI gets more embedded in work, ethics and critical thinking are becoming practical business skills. @BusinessInsider 🔗 businessinsider.com/ai-job-market-… 6️⃣ Five interconnected trends defining internal communications right now AI, trust, manager enablement, well-being, and measurement are all reshaping internal comms. The function isn’t just being asked to communicate more. It’s being asked to prove impact, coach leaders, and help organizations navigate change. 🔗 simpplr.com/blog/internal-… ➕ Follow us for weekly updates on how AI and employee experience are evolving together.

May the Fourth be with you. ✨ (The Force is stronger when everything works together.)

We all know internal comms isn’t about sending more. What’s important is connecting your work to what the business is actually trying to achieve.

Internal communications has come a long way. It’s trusted, embedded, and seen as critical to the business. But it’s still hitting the same structural limits. Our 2026 State of Internal Communications report breaks down what’s really happening inside IC teams right now, from where they’re gaining ground to where things are still getting stuck.

AI investment is accelerating, but results aren’t keeping up. Across 300+ IT leaders surveyed, it was clear that AI only delivers real value when it’s grounded in the right foundation. When data is fragmented, systems don’t connect, and governance lags, even the best AI initiatives fall short.

“Can we put this on the homepage?” If you’re in IC, that question is the ultimate test of your patience. The fix isn't just saying "no" — it’s making the decision objective. Try scoring every request from 1–5 on reach, value, urgency, and action. If the total score is under 15, it doesn't belong on the homepage. Keep it targeted. 🎯 Protect your high-visibility channels. Your employees (and your sanity) will thank you. For more quick tips, sign up for our monthly newsletter, IC You: simpplr.com/resources/news…

Most enterprise AI initiatives stall because of foundational gaps: fragmented data, unclear ROI, and missing guardrails. We’re hosting a (free!) half-day Summit to solve for exactly that. Join analysts and practitioners to map out a repeatable, governed path for AI in the digital workplace. Register now: simpplr.com/ai-at-scale-su…

According to new research from Forrester, there is a significant gap between ambition and reality: while 75% of organizations are interested in AI-powered digital workplaces, only 25% have actually reached deployment. To bridge the gap from interest to impact, AI-first strategies must ensure the platform hosting it can actually support it. Read the full Forrester study to see how top IT teams are solving the fragmentation problem to unlock AI’s full potential. simpplr.com/resources/rese…

AI is moving fast. Your infrastructure probably isn’t. Join us for AI at Scale: Powering the Digital Workplace, a working session for IT leaders who need AI to move from experimentation to something reliable, secure, and measurable. simpplr.com/ai-at-scale-su…
