Communication strategies

Communication strategies are designed to help the organisation communicate effectively and meet the organisation’s objectives. You need clear communication strategies that channel information promptly and appropriately to the right people with contingency plans for communication breakdowns. A range of communication strategies may be needed at various times to meet the needs of specific groups of people or individuals. There is also a need for communication plans for when a crisis occurs. Different strategies are required to work effectively with different individuals and in different situations. You will need to decide on the best strategy to communicate effectively with staff, with external stakeholders and with people receiving services. All strategies should be a good fit with the vision and values of the organisation, and strive for consistency and accuracy in sharing information.
