Internal Communication Trends & Best Practices for Employee Engagement in 2026 Webinar

It’s time to shift focus to 2026. To help predict what will shape internal communications in the new year and beyond, we surveyed 200 communicators on their successes of 2025 and what they think will have the most profound impacts as we move forward. Based on these findings we released the Internal Communications Trends Report, which explore the key forces shaping employee engagement, including shifting employee expectations, emerging technologies, and evolving communication channels that are transforming internal communication strategies.

In this webinar, PoliteMail’s Mike McNeilly and Paul Stewart break down what today’s communicators need to succeed: improved sentiment measurement, smarter use of AI, sharper channel planning and leadership alignment. The session will also highlight practical, data-backed email techniques — including subject line optimization, audience targeting, sender strategy, timing and design best practices — to boost attention and engagement.

You will learn:

• 2026 internal communication and employee engagement trends.
• How to strengthen feedback loops and sentiment measurement.
• Effective channel strategy that balances email, multimedia and new formats.
• Proven internal email practices that improve readability and response.
