We just love this quote from Katie Macaulay, the host of The Internal Comms Podcast!
Indeed, internal communications professionals play a critical role in empowering businesses and ensuring business continuity.
Why?
While your organization’s products and services can seemingly be replicated at the touch of a button, the one thing that is hardest to copy – is your organization’s collective wisdom which is fast becoming its most important asset.
