Internal Communications
Looking for advice on how to communicate more effectively with colleagues? Need help introducing a new communications channel? Think your team would benefit from some comms training? We're here to help...
Our Internal Communications team can offer support with training, channel development, communications partnering opportunities, departmental communications and comms campaign planning.
We also look after the staff portal 'insite', the all-staff email 'inbox insite', the staff twitter account '@warwickinsite', the digital screens and run the Warwick Network staff conference.
Our team helps gather feedback from colleagues, develop conversations between teams, and is responsible for ensuring all our employees are well informed about matters affecting them and have a voice in the way our University is run.
There's a range of toolkits available to help you get started. Visit our Communicate section which offers a quick start guide, channels, audience and objectives guidance, plus plenty more.
