Overview

Taking internal comms to the next level - advising the business on authentic, relevant and empathetic communications to create belonging and engagement

Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 November 2022, London

There can be no doubt that internal communications has earned its place in the sun over the last few years. It’s become an important way to share transparent, reassuring, caring, motivating and sometimes urgent communications with employee wellbeing at their heart.

So while the spotlight still shines on your role, what could you do to transition out of crisis mode?

How do you become a long-term trusted adviser to your business?

And what steps can you take to arrest the growing trend towards disengagement and attrition afflicting workplaces everywhere?

At PR-Week’s Strategic Internal Communications conference, taking place on 22-23 November 2022, our panel of energising speakers will inspire you to bring a sense of ‘fun’ back to your workplace to create a meaningful employee experience that makes your employees want to come to work.

At the same time, our thought leaders will address serious issues around:

• embedding diversity and inclusion
• the future of your workplace
• managing your executive communications

and how you can reasonably support your employees through the cost of living crisis by showing empathy without overstepping. They will also explain how you can mediate ethically between your leadership and employees.

Join our community of internal comms professionals in November so you can feel supported in what can often be a lonely role.

Don’t miss the opportunity to propel your own career forward with our dedicated career advancement workshop on day two.

You’ll also be able to take part in workshops on encouraging belonging and engagement on day one.

Book your place by 7 October to save £100 and secure your ticket to levelling up your internal communications.
