Line managers are often the most trusted source of information in any organisation — but they’re rarely trained in how to communicate well.
Internal communication training used to be reserved for HR or comms teams. In 2026, it needs to be a core leadership skill. Here’s why:
Managers are the message
Employees trust their direct manager more than anyone else.
Change fatigue is real
Consistent, timely communication prevents burnout.
The rise of hybrid work
Communication gaps widen without face-to-face interaction.
Clarity on tone, timing and audience segmentation
Templates for common situations (e.g. performance updates, change rollouts)
Practice in giving feedback and navigating tough conversations
Thesmia.ai provides:
Manager-specific templates and toolkits
Talking points and FAQs for major announcements
Leadership decks that align with employee comms
Managers don't need to become comms experts — they just need support. Internal communication training, combined with AI-powered tools like Thesmia, gives them what they need to lead with clarity.
