As we head into the new year, we want to share some fun facts and highlights from 2022.

Internal communication is the heart and soul of any savvy company looking to create a solid company culture that values the employee experience (EX). And when your communications have AI and are tailored to the individual needs of your workers, this only improves EX.

It’s a new year and a new quarter – what better time to take a step back and think about the ways your team can collaborate more effectively and work more productively moving forward? Last month, we released the results of our annual developer productivity survey and our analysis of the trends and challenges that will shape the way developers and technical teams work in 2023. Read on to learn more about the developer productivity trends we think will make a big impact this year!

The technological advancements in the last decade have allowed significant improvements in the customer service environment. One of such innovations is in-app chat. In-app chat allows users to get their questions answered right at the spot while using a certain app.

User engagement is the process through which users can interact with your app for its intended purpose. It is the fundamental pillar of effective app strategies. As per research, app engagement increased by 30% between 2019 and 2020 and 7% between 2020 and 2021. Even though acquiring new customers is challenging in its own right, it becomes even more complicated when the space is highly contested among different brands competing for users' attention.

The idea of having a team dedicated to communicating with a company’s workforce isn’t new. Still, the last three years have intensified the need for an internal comms team as the workplace morphed from a single location to distributed locations, with employees spanning different cities, workplaces, and time zones.

Companies are eager to attract professionals reentering the workforce after a career break – returnships are one way to get there.

In fact, as we discovered in our Anywhere Work 2023 Employee Experience Survey Report results, 79% of HR executives feel that this “anywhere work” shift has created disconnects on a number of fronts, making internal communications more challenging than it was before. The struggle is rooted in the fact that most organizations are ill-equipped to manage a hybrid workforce.

Maximise productivity with these digital-first collaboration innovations.

Here are five EX trends based on the insight we’ve captured when listening to our customers, researching, and analyzing data, combined with a smidge of crystal-ball gazing.
