Learning Points From Health • Messenger - Senior Managers in existing organisations key providers of information • Message - How does this effect me? • Medium – face to face and internal channels the most effective • Measurement –should be an explicit and integral part of the change process
ESAIT Communications to Date • Communications Research • www.esani.org.uk • ESAIT Update • RPA News • Face to face meetings with staff • Communicating Change Consultative Group (CCCG) • Engagement with organisations and staff unions
Learning Lessons – Moving Forward • Setting out the journey ahead • Communicating on the ‘Me’ issues – staff transfer, location, recruitment, redundancy etc • More research and measurement, more face to face meetings – supported by other media, more engagement, more exploiting of technology • No more stop/start?
