We’re a community of like-minded communication professionals, at all stages of career journeys, striving to be the best strategic advisors to our organisations and clients.

If you are a solopreneur, or the lone professional in your organisation, it can be tough not having other professionals to bounce ideas off or talk through challenges. Happily, CSCE Members can pop into The Hive, post a question or challenge, and receive input from our global faculty, as well as other members. This exclusive feature is monitored so all queries and comments are answered promptly.

Hybrid Work Environments
Is your organisation a hybrid workplace? What challenges do you have as an internal communication professional? A recent US-based article said that 75% of companies planned to downsize their office space as a result of the new paradigm. Further, most are employing a 'hot desk' approach, where each day employees scramble to find a desk. This means that there is no opportunity for employees to personalise their space, hang up a diploma or two... or even know where co-workers might be located. We've gone from a lot of assurances (everyone in the office every day, everyone located in the same place) to a lot of variables. How are you coping?

As always, we have some fabulous training opportunities coming up. Check our website for more information on these, and other courses available in-person, online or on demand.
