2Stories on employee engagement in the detachment era

The workplace is more complex and demanding than ever before. With multiple seismic shifts colliding all at once, this is arguably the most challenging era for workers in human history. Right now, desk-based workers the world over are as disengaged as they were when we were all in Covid lockdown. What on earth is going on? Carol Williams, executive producer and head of audio at 2Stories, and Brendan Cooper, head of the internal comms division at 2Stories, unpack eye-opening research and listen to voice notes from knowledge workers around South Africa to understand what is behind this lack of connection. One thing’s for sure, there has never been a more important time for organisations to get their internal communications strategy right.
