The conclusions and topics were compiled with AI from the publications on this page, with the sources alongside. How that works · How we count
What the publications show
BCG and the Thomson Reuters Institute both report that leadership’s AI plans are not getting through to employees. In the BCG survey, 40 per cent of employees find their own CEO not open enough about AI.

A study by the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas of 375 employees in five countries finds that effective internal communication goes together with greater work engagement and happiness at work. Differences between men and women were not significant. This rests on a single study.

Trust and culture as seen by executives and by employees
- Gap between the top and the front line
- Trust in leadership
- Unwritten rules
Executives think employees trust them and understand the culture. Recent measurements show a widening gap: fewer than half of employees trust their leadership, and only one in five feels strongly connected to their own organisation's culture. Leadership is the last to notice.
