About Haiilo
Haiilo is one of the leading employee communications and engagement platforms globally. We help organisations reach every employee with the information that matters, reduce noise, build alignment and create a workplace where people feel informed, valued and connected.
Our platform brings together employee communications, community, surveys and analytics in one place, making it simple for internal communicators to deliver personalised, measurable and impactful communication across a diverse and distributed workforce.
What inspired you to become a sponsor of IOIC?
The internal communications community is at the heart of what we do. IOIC plays a crucial role in elevating the profession, raising standards and building a community where IC practitioners can learn from one another.
Sponsoring IOIC felt like a natural partnership. We share the same mission: to champion the value of internal communication and empower the people who make effective communication happen inside organisations.
How does your organisation support the internal communication community, and how will your partnership with IOIC strengthen that impact?
We partner closely with internal communication teams across the world — from the UK and US to global enterprise organisations — helping them overcome the challenges of message overload, fragmented channels and hard‑to‑reach audiences.
We support the IC community by offering:
-
Practical resources: guides, templates, webinars and research that help teams elevate their strategy and show impact.
-
Technology built for IC, not added to it: our platform is designed around real communication workflows and challenges.
-
Data that drives decisions: clear analytics that prove reach, engagement and business impact.
Through IOIC, we’ll deepen this support by contributing thought leadership, facilitating conversations and collaborating with practitioners to share real‑world insights that move the profession forward.
Which three topics or trends in internal communication are you most passionate about right now?
-
Cutting through communication overload
Employees are overwhelmed. The real challenge is not sending more messages, but designing communication journeys that are personalised and purposeful. -
Reaching and engaging deskless and frontline employees
Too many organisations still struggle to reach half their workforce. Creating truly inclusive communication means meeting employees where they are. -
Proving the impact of internal communication
IC is increasingly being asked to demonstrate ROI. Data, storytelling and integrated analytics are becoming essential to show value at leadership level.
What opportunity do you believe internal communicators should be focusing on right now?
Internal communicators have a huge opportunity to become strategic advisors within their organisations. With trust in leadership communications fluctuating and employee expectations rising, IC teams are uniquely positioned to shape culture, reduce uncertainty and support business transformation.
The opportunity is to shift from being “message distributors” to becoming strategic partners who use insight, behavioural understanding and clear measurement to guide how organisations communicate.
Finally, what’s one fun fact about your organisation that might surprise us?
We have a VW bus parked in our Hamburg office that any employee can rent for free. It is used for weekend adventures, team road trips and spontaneous escapes to the coast. It has become a much loved symbol of our culture and a reminder that connection and fun should be part of work, not separate from it.
