Research Help Wanted
Published 1/20/10
IABC/Washington member Michelle Vanderhoff is conducting a survey as part of her Master's thesis in Communication from Johns Hopkins University. She isresearching employee and internal
communicators preferences for using certain types of media in their workplace, as well as overall communication satisfaction.
This study will be comprised of a Web-based survey all employees and all internal communicators in a Washington, DC-area company that has at least 200 employees. The organization must possess full-time internal communications staff and currently use the following vehicles to communicate with employees: blogs, e-mail, Intranet, and company Web site.
The results of this research may help researchers and internal communications professionals better understand the reasons why employees use certain types of media, so your participation would be very helpful.
If your company fits these criteria and is interested in participating, please contact Michelle by Tuesday, February 9.
