Internal Communications

About this training

As much as Internal Communication is a vital component of success in any organisation, it is often neglected and underutilised by both employees and management. How do you choose the right tools and media to maximise your reach and get the message across to the right people?

This training course has been designed to provide you with practical strategies to energise and motivate your entire organisation to get involved and stay engaged throughout the implementation of your communication plans. The course will enable you to implement a strong, effective and healthy internal communication culture within your organisation.

Target group

This workshop is designed for anyone who has responsibility for internal communications – either across a whole organisation or within a large department or across a number of teams/workgroups.
