The fifth point is something which I will vouch for. There is a lot of communication download that happens on a daily basis in an organization. If an announcement is designed well with corporate colors and has an image/ any design element which reflects the content of the announcement, it always tends to stand out and captures the attention of the readers. It is important that we bring this element in the internal announcements in an organization. The overall package of an announcement (content, placement of content, the design, subject line) is what that makes it effective.

Comment on Yin and Yang of Internal Communications – making employees advocates of the brand by aniisu

Thanks for dropping by and leaving a note.

Engaging managers and supervisors is important to the success of internal communication.

You can only involve them if they can see the ‘big picture’ about where the organization is heading and how they are an integral element of the journey.

To help them understand their role, you need to link the organization’s vision and strategy to their responsibilities at work.

This can be done through candid conversations, constantly reviewing the business goals, the opportunities that exist and how they can motivate their teams towards those objectives.

Showcase and recognize managers who live the values and strategy while delivering business results. It will set an example for others to contribute. Use your internal channels to spread the word.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I enjoyed reading your article on the Yin and Yang of Internal Communications. I’m particularly interested in employee engagement and internal branding. My question is, how do I involve the line managers/supervisors in the different division in this process?

Thank You

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a guest lecture by Mr. Aniisu K Verghese on Internal communications and web 2.0. The lecture was very knowledgeable and interesting. It enhanced our knowledge on the importance of communications for any organisation as well as it made us aware of web 2.0.

Comment on Insights from a communication stalwart - Mike Green of Intel by Deviah

It was interesting to interact with Mike. Whether you are a large company or small, clever management can use internal communications as a tool to inspire loyalty and better performance. The trick is how best to get your message across without appearing to be motivated or biased.

In too many cases internal communications’ aim seems to be simply to utilize allocated budgets, with not a thought for how effective it is.

As a result internal communications is frequently uninspired and boring.

I hope the interaction with Mike made a difference to some of the people who attended.

Thanks to Vijay for the opportunity.

You are right Aniisu, there is a need rather urgency to talk about various practices. And who better to do it with than our own fellow commitians.

I extend a big thank you to Vijay and Arun as well - I had met them some 3 years back and it was nice to catch up again!
