The audit we offer to our clients is meant to help them mainly in:

– Capturing the type of information and contexts that are most desirable by employees – depending on the scope of their responsibilities and positions in the organization
– Defining the strategic and tactical goals suitable for the internal communication strategy
– Assessing the employees’ general perception of the existing method of internal communication in the company
– Verifying the areas in which employees would see the necessary changes
– Verifying the degree of attractiveness of corporate information prepared so far
– Verifying the current method of informing and engaging employees.

Managerial communication

Most studies on internal communication confirm that what is really important for an employee does not occur between an employee and a corporate communication department but between an employee and their immediate supervisor. Only the managers who are engaged in communication can create committed teams. That is why managerial communication occupies a special place in our Audit and concerns the assessment of the quality and effectiveness of managerial communication in the organization.

Planning

Conducting this type of analysis requires proper preparation, which is why we always carefully plan all stages of the evaluation of internal communication of the company, beginning with 1.Audit preparation 2. Introduction of the Audit into the organization 3. Audit realization 4. Presentation of the conclusions

Conclusions

The conclusions from the audit constitute a verified basis for designing an effective internal data-based communication strategy.

The strategies of internal communication we create are used by our clients chiefly for the purpose of:

– Building employee involvement
– Ensuring high quality bilateral communication inside their company
– Developing attitudes among employees that contribute to achieving the goals set by the company with the lowest financial, time-related, image-related and psychological costs possible
– Creating organizational culture allowing to achieve competitive advantage
– Promoting organization’s values
– Supporting the organization undergoing the process of changes – our strategies are aimed at eliminating or minimizing employee resistance to change, they build support and understanding for the decisions undertaken by company management among all internal groups of stakeholders as well as the promotion of the company’s strategic goals inside the organization

Defining and building a company’s identity and its organizational culture allowing it to succeed in a hyper-competitive world is a fundamental issue for every organization. People who combine shared values, defined in a way that is transparent to all, who understand the common goal and fulfil a clear vision, feel responsible for the results.

Through the educational and training programmes devised by Citybell as well as communication strategies we help our clients in defining and promoting organization values, defining the desirable organizational culture as well as formulating a promise that employees and managements ought to make to one another. Thereby, we assist in building commitment and trust inside an organization.

For our clients we develop suitable programmes that enable expanding the point of view in respect of an organizational identity and culture, looking at oneself and one’s style of operation from a slightly different perspective, conducting a constructive dialogue that touches upon even the most complex issues, formulating new conclusions and defining new actions for the future.

They provide an opportunity for an open and friendly dialogue between employees, members of a given team and between teams.
