Q: How do I reach frontline workers who don’t read emails?
- Mobile Messaging
Use SMS or messaging apps like WhatsApp to send important updates. These are more likely to be seen quickly. - Digital Signage
Install screens in common areas like break rooms or entrances to display real-time updates and important information. - Supervisor Briefings
Provide supervisors with short, clear huddle kits to share messages during team meetings or shift changes. - Printed Materials
Use posters or flyers in high-traffic areas to reinforce key messages, ensuring they're visually engaging and easy to read. - Apps
If feasible, develop a mobile app for company communications, allowing workers to access information on the go. - Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
Implement a system where workers can call a number to hear recorded updates.

Q: What’s the best way to show leadership that comms is working?
A: Demonstrating the effectiveness of communications to leadership involves using clear metrics and evidence to show how your efforts contribute to organisational goals. Here are some steps:
- Set Clear Objectives: Align your communication goals with business objectives, like improving employee engagement or reducing turnover.
- Use Relevant Metrics: Track metrics that matter to leadership, such as:
- Reach and engagement rates (e.g., open rates, click-through rates)
- Employee feedback and sentiment analysis
- Behavioural outcomes (e.g., increased safety compliance, reduced absenteeism)
- Link to Business Outcomes: Show how communication efforts have impacted key business metrics, such as employee retention or productivity improvements.
- Gather Qualitative Feedback: Use employee surveys or focus groups to gather feedback on communication effectiveness and share success stories.
- Regular Reporting: Create concise, visual reports summarising communication activities and their impact, using dashboards if possible.
- Case Studies: Develop case studies highlighting specific campaigns or initiatives that had a significant impact.

Q: How can I stop employees feeling overloaded with messages?
A: To prevent employees from feeling overwhelmed by messages, focus on streamlining communication and ensuring relevance. Here’s how:
- Audit and Consolidate Channels: Identify overlapping channels and consolidate where possible to reduce duplication.
- Prioritise Content: Clearly define what constitutes a must-see message and limit the volume of non-essential communications.
- Create a Content Calendar: Establish a rhythm for when and how often messages are sent, so employees know what to expect and when.
- Segment Audiences: Target messages to specific groups based on their roles and needs, ensuring relevance and reducing unnecessary information.
- Keep Messages Concise: Use clear, succinct language and highlight key points to make messages easier to digest.
- Gather Feedback: Regularly ask employees for feedback on communication preferences and adjust strategies accordingly.
