Learn how to conduct a communication audit that will provide the hard data you and your management need to make the right decisions.  

Scrambling to meet the next deadline for the employee pub. Running e-mail copy through the approval ringer. Tying up all the logistical loose ends for next week’s town hall meeting. There’s plenty to keep you busy when you work in employee communications. But are you sure the tactics you’ve chosen are the best ones for reaching employees? And what about strategy? What do employees really need to know to do their jobs?

Before you spend scarce company resources on employee communications, you’d better know the answers to these and many other questions. And a communication audit can give you those answers.

Why a communications audit? How does it work? How can it help boost the bottom line? Where to focus? What to ask?

This session answers all these questions, plus gives you an inside look at how one company audited its employee communications program, what they learned and how they applied their learnings. Hear from the communicator who led the project and the measurement experts who helped her succeed.

In just 90 minutes, you’ll learn how to conduct a communication audit that will put your program on the right track.

Key learning topics:

  • How to make the decision to conduct a communication audit — often the most difficult step in the process — and how to sell management on the idea
  • How to know what communication issues to focus on
  • How to write powerful questions that reveal the most useful information
  • How to analyze data, so you know the most important items to act on
