Build and Support your Team Through Effective Internal Communication

Internal Communication helps you amplify the company culture you want to build. The messages you create have the power to transform employee behavior, shape attitudes, inform and influence, and guide employees to be more productive. Get it right, and it’s a persuasive force.

Barriers to communicating more frequently

Producing high-quality digital internal communication can be difficult and time-consuming.

Producing effective communication that make your brand and culture stand out should be straight forward, but it’s generally not the case. Every company has the best intentions and wants to communicate more frequently with their managers and employees, but the barriers are very high.

Understanding the needs of your employees is also crucial to getting it right. According to Gallagher’s Global Survey of internal communication professionals, the most critical focus for communication activities across the globe are corporate announcements at 88%, and communicating strategy at 89%.

Gallagher’s global research found that companies face some sizable challenges in creating internal communications, and some of these include the following;

• Companies can’t devote people or time to internal communication functions. It’s usually left to HR to craft a comms piece.
• The current tools are not fit for purpose. Creating new communication is frustrating, time-consuming, and the results are mediocre. Most give up trying to create a targeted internal communications campaign.
• Information overload - employees are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of words that hit them every day. Using email or instant messaging doesn’t penetrate through the noise. According to Glassdoor, 2 in 3 employees ignore emails.
• Managers lack the communication skills necessary to inform and engage with their teams.
• Frontline and deskless employees are hard to reach.
• There are no options for deploying ready-made professional communication which can be tailored and targeted for internal audiences.
