Social Media Policy Do's and Don'ts with Sharon McIntosh and Sharon Phillips | Growing Social Now with Barbara Rozgonyi

When we think about messaging, we typically think of what we say about our work to the outside world. Although that’s important to be sure, some would argue that what we say internally is just as, if not more, important. In this episode of Messaging on a Mission we hear from Phil Finch, a former VP of communications at a large not-for-profit, Sharon McIntosh, a world-renowned expert in internal communications, and Sara Jackson, executive director of Internal Comms Pro.    Key Takeaways Experience -Internal communications start with the leadership team and the focus with which they run the organization.  -Everyone thinks they can do internal comms. Common Mistakes -Focussing on the channels, not the content -Asking questions of employees too infrequently -Ignoring the leadership team’s role -Many people under-communicate. It’s really hard to over-communicate in a professional environment. Advice -Employee comms is a continuous process, it’s not a one and done. -Two-way communication is critical. Listening is just as important as telling.  -Start small and expand over time as you are able. Five Future of Internal Communications -Superior employee experience, not just words  -Employees expect a consumer-grade experience  -Internal comms professionals as internal digital marketers -Collaboration between functions, such as internal comms and human resources -Messaging internally will require an approach of “intra-preneurship.” Perfection is no longer required.
