How does the desire for diversity recognition, equality and inclusion affect communication? What about the mental health of communication professionals and how can one be an empathic leader in times of collaborative working?

The Nordic Alliance for Communication & Management (#NORA), together with the communication associations of Sweden (Sveriges Kommunikatörer), Denmark (K1), Finland (ProCom), and Norway (Kommunikasjonsforeningen), would like to invite you to the launch webinar of the NORDIC COMMUNICATIONS REPORT 2022, where we will discuss those questions and shed light on challenges and trends that are currently shaping the profession. This also includes looking at the current state of CommTech implementation in communication departments in the Nordic countries and discussing quality dimensions in external consultancy as well as the question of establishing uniform quality standards.

As the second Nordic study of the communication sector, produced in cooperation with the European Communication Monitor series, the Nordic Communications Report provides exclusive insights into the communication practices of professionals from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland.

Winni Johansen, professor of corporate communication at Aarhus University and adjunct professor at BI Norwegian Business School will present the results followed by a panel discussion among heads/(vice)chairpersons of the four Nordic communication associations:
