The technologies we choose can make or break internal communications, especially in these unusual times. Finding the elixir of setups that keeps your staff feeling informed, connected and purposeful is no mean feat – especially when the pressure is on to keep your organization moving through a pandemic. With so many tools and emerging practices to help us orchestrate technology enabled communications, there’s too much choice and precious little time to get it right given the current circumstances. The sudden change in business direction, people’s behaviour, and the world around us has put internal communication to the test. Whether you are being resourceful with existing tools or implementing new technologies the imperative is to foster effective communication to contribute to business survival. Knowing what technology to implement, when to use it, and how to get staff engaged are fundamental decisions for any internal communications team.  

Join Janine Weightman, an independent Knowledge Management Consultant and founder of Knovolution Ltd, on our next IoIC Newcastle and North East Hub meet up, where she will shed some light on this quandary from a different business perspective. Janine will introduce the concept of Knowledge Management (KM), explore the coexistence of internal comms and KM in organisations, and expand our understanding of the criteria we may wish to consider when choosing and using technology for internal communications. 

The session will be run on Zoom, with the link provided the day before the session.

Being made redundant is never a great experience, and it's even harder at the moment. But what if it's also an opportunity?

Join us for this webinar, where Eleanor Tweddell author of 'Why losing your job could be the best thing that ever happened to you' will explore the possibility that being out of work could be a chance for something new, a chance to recharge, a chance to reinvent yourself. After a career of 23 years in corporate, including a few Head of IC roles, for brands such as Virgin Atlantic, RAC, Costa Coffee, Vodafone she decided to do something different. 

Details of how to join the webinar will be sent on the day of the webinar. The email will come from streamstudio so please check your junk folders just in case.

We are approaching yet another demanding six months for internal communications professionals. Whether it’s dealing with the continued challenge of remote working or having to cope with complex new working environments, it has never been harder to keep colleagues engaged and motivated. The IoIC want to try and support our colleagues in and around the Manchester area by sharing best practise and experience through our virtual hub. It’s times like this when we need our peer support more than ever.

The session will be run on Zoom, with the link provided the day before the session.

Join Chief Executive Jennifer Sproul and Cathryn Barnard from Working the Future as they share some of the key trends reshaping the world of work and unpick how world-class internal communication will play a critical role to drive and shape the future of organisations.

This interactive webinar will present the opportunity to pose questions to our Future of Work Expert and engage in a conversation about the changes facing the world of work. We'll be discussing the evolution of the internal communication profession, and its repositioning as the catalyst of positive change to ensure organisations and their people thrive.
