Developing the Right

Communications Culture

Included in the Comms strategy are components that include the premise that all communications should be based upon trust and credibility.

To help achieve trust & credibility, the following environment is necessary:

Attitude: positive, clear, constructive, co-operative, honest

Style: innovative, inspiring, creative

• Tone: clear and simple, non-arrogant, positive, informative

Language: non-jargon, to-the-point

• Communications Manager has the principal responsibility for developing this culture with help and input from INS Management team.

• Communications manager will further help develop this culture by coaching the managers, setting the example, spreading the comms culture across the department

Creating and Following a Communications

Strategy

The goal for all communications should be to add value rather than creating overload

• Too much communications or communicating about the wrong things is just as problematic as too little communication about important things!

• What, when (and how much) are we going to communicate?

• Where and how will we communicate? (what vehicle is best?)

• Who will play what roles in the team’s communications?
