INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS
We are all on the same page here!
Internal communication refers to the exchange of information and messages within an organization among employees, departments, and levels of management. Internal communication helps build trust and transparency, improves employee engagement and motivation, ensures consistent understanding of goals and strategies, facilitates problem-solving and decision-making, and strengthens organizational culture and cohesion.
Here are 10 questions to start with when looking into internal communication:
o1
What is the current method of communication between the CEO, management, and employees?
02
Is the intranet user-friendly for employees to access information?
03
Is there a staff newsletter in place?
o4
How are contract wins, project updates, milestones, and achievements communicated?
05
Is there an accessible employee suggestion program for all staff?
06
Where can employees find resources such as internal org charts, templates, company presentations, brochures, training information, messages from management, online training, and company policies?
o7
Is there a structured induction process for new employees?
08
What is the employee satisfaction level and when was the last communication survey conducted?
09
Are the company’s Mission, Vision, and Values known to all employees?
10
Is there a uniform template for internal communication (noticeboards, online communication, PPT presentations)?
PROJECT COMMUNICATIONS
Let’s set it all up!
When staff is assigned to a project, they are no longer working only for their organization, they are walking into a new organization that has its own way (or soon to shape its own way) of doing things. On bigger projects, a consortium may be formed, bringing together employees from diverse companies with varying cultures. Each of these team members is used to their organization’s way of operating. One of the most important things to do early on in the life cycle of the project is to create an identity and culture that employees can feel part of, along with a ‘one project, one team’ spirit.
We can help you get there!
