Employment Q2 2025 quarterly news roundup

Post-pandemic, the global economy remains in turmoil. War, escalating geopolitical tensions, extreme weather events, supply chain shortages, rising inequality, shifting attitudes towards work and capitalism and more are reshaping the labour market.

While hard to discern in the moment, these shifts and undercurrents nonetheless have a profound impact on how organisations hire and engage with people at work. Internal communicators have a pivotal role to play in maintaining community and cohesion across increasingly diverse and transient workforces. Our quarterly employment updates help internal communication professionals stay informed and think more expansively about ways they can deliver strategic value.

People Q1 2025 quarterly news roundup

As global stability deteriorates, anxiety is on the rise. Internal communicators must assimilate the wants, needs and expectations of increasingly diverse internal stakeholders. Only then can organisations harness the full potential of colleagues across the age spectrum, who are pushing back on top-down, centralised, and increasingly outdated, command and control management archetypes.

In this mercurial new landscape, internal communication is a meta-skill that increasingly underpins organisational success. Our quarterly people updates help internal communication professionals stay informed and think more expansively about ways they can deliver strategic value.
