Best practice
Regular and effective two-way communication can lead to increased morale and engagement.
- Think of your audience and write your message appropriately, considering style, language and tone.
- Think about your key messages.
- Communicate using the appropriate channels, eg email, social media, the Staff Digest, a meeting...
- Do not write in jargon or use acronyms without explaining them.
- Conduct an internal communications audit within your department to find out how well communication is currently working, and to identify barriers to effective communication.
- Remember that good communication is a two-way process. Provide opportunities for staff to communicate their views to you.
