    Every year, Gallagher’s global State of the Sector research gives us valuable insights into the challenges, priorities and practices shaping internal communication and employee experience.

    But the quality of those insights depends on people like you sharing what’s happening in your organisation.

    That’s why the Centre for Strategic Communication Excellence is proud to partner with Gallagher, and we’re encouraging everyone in our network to take part in the 2026/27 State of the Sector survey.

    Please participate by 13 November.
