“Within your company there is an army of ambassadors who can be your
greatest asset, if they are armed with accurate information and the knowledge
that they are important to the organization.”
How you communicate internally is as important as how you communicate externally.
Internal and external communications create a two-way communications loop, feeding
into and reinforcing each other. Effective internal communications can help unify an
organization. Staff that have a clear understanding of the vision and key messages
of the company are the most skilled at transmitting that information.
Newsletters, an intranet, and blogs are just some of the ways
to communicate with your employees and stakeholders. The key to
creating an "army of ambassadors" is understanding what the best
medium is for your audience, and what messages need to be conveyed.
