Each year Gatehouse, an internal communication and employee engagement consultancy, publishes the results of its annual industry–wide survey of internal comms professionals in a report it called ‘The State of the Sector’.

This week it released its 2013 findings, revealing the current challenges internal communicators are facing and where their focus will be over the coming months. It also looks at channel use and explores the impact of new and emerging technologies like Enterprise Social Networks and Apps.

As well as being an insightful snapshot of internal communications today, the report is a useful way to:

• See how you measure up against other organisations
• Win support for new projects, and
• Help you decide what to focus on
