Organizations need to harness the power of internal communication metrics to drive business growth, supercharge employee engagement, and effectively manage change. With the advanced analytics functions of Sparrow Connected, businesses gain valuable insights to calibrate their communication efforts for maximum output. 

Understanding Internal Communication Metrics 

Internal communication metrics refer to data points that highlight specific engagement criteria related to your content. These could range from email open rates to sentiment analysis, making them crucial for any organization. Notably, IBM found that 72% of employees don't fully grasp their company's strategy, underlining the critical role communications play in an organization's success. 

Importance of Tracking Internal Communications 

Robust internal communications can boost productivity by a staggering 20 to 25% according to McKinsey. Tracking internal communications allows businesses to comprehend what motivates their employees, their commitment to company goals and strategy, and their employer brand strength. 

The analytics functions of Sparrow Connected can be seamlessly integrated into your communication strategy, empowering you to make data-driven decisions while tracking and measuring the impact of your internal communications. 

Overcoming Challenges in Capturing Internal Communications Metrics
