The average global cost of a data breach in 2024 is $4.88m, according to IBM. This is a 10% increase on the previous year and the highest ever. What’s driving this is the increase in frequency and sophistication of attacks as cyber criminals take advantage of organisations which don’t prioritise cyber security and leave gaps […]
Last year it was reported that there were record numbers of over 50’s in work across the UK. This coupled with the fact women over 50 represent one of the fastest growing segments of the workforce, means there are very few organisations where the menopause is not being experienced by staff.

Feeling unprepared for how AI will impact your communications and culture? You’re not alone. At the recent Blue Goose Briefing event, ‘AI:Friend or foe?’ there was a shared sense of organisations not being ready for the impact it will make – both positive and negative.

Nearly four years ago, in the height of the first lockdown, we wrote about how the pandemic might just have been one of the best things to happen to employee engagement.

What’s the single thing communications professionals worry about the most? I’d hazard, impact – if the things they’re producing, sending and socialising are actually making any difference.
