And the survey says...

Every now and then, I like to take a break from talking about just digital signage and pass along interesting data impacting the world of employee communications.

I think just about everyone is a little bit concerned (if not absolutely terrified) about job security right now. And, to no surprise, internal communications professionals are part of this group. I caught wind of this survey out of the UK that shows that slightly more than 50% were either very insecure or quite insecure about their job prospects compared to 12 months ago, and some had even already lost their job.


Like I said, these numbers probably translate to just about every job sector across all industries. But what interests me is that only 4% feel very secure in their job. Now the data collected isn't overly scientific, but for only roughly 1 out of 20 internal communicators to feel secure in their job, that's a frightening number.

If there ever is a time, now is it to prove to your businesses the value you bring as an internal communicator to the table!

Do you have a 'before' picture? Be interesting to see how people *really* felt then as well.

Sorry my friend. That would be good data to have though. There will always be people who feel insecure about their job, but it's the fact that only 4% feel very secure is what scares me.
