Three key takeaways from our event on practical internal comms for a changing organisation, including: 1. Leadership visibility and transparency build trust - Employees want leaders who openly "tell it as it is," communicate clearly, and engage in small-group settings rather than large broadcasts. 2. Shift from broadcasting to employees to working with them - Involve colleagues early, equip managers to cascade effectively, and close the feedback loop with "you said, we did" to show that employee voice drives action. 3. Align before you communicate - Use shared calendars and coordinate priorities with senior leaders to prevent inconsistent messaging, overlapping announcements and miscommunication that can erode employee trust.
This morning’s #CCInternalComms event discussed practical strategies for building trust, keeping employees engaged, and staying ahead of organisational change. Here are some headlines.
