Internal & Change Communications
Internal communications connects business strategy with employees’ understanding of what is changing, why it matters and what they need to do. Narrative Consultants helps organisations communicate priorities and change with clarity, consistency and space for meaningful feedback.
Strategy needs to make sense in everyday work.
Employees can receive frequent updates and still be unsure about priorities or their role in a change. We help translate the business direction into useful messages for different teams, equipping leaders and managers to explain decisions and address the questions people actually have.
What a collaboration can include.
The scope is agreed around your priorities, audience and brief.
- Internal communication strategy and audience mapping
- Change narratives, announcements and employee FAQs
- Leadership updates, town halls and manager briefing materials
- Channel planning and editorial calendars
- Employee feedback and communication review
How we work
We start with the business context, affected groups and existing communication channels. Working with leadership, HR and relevant teams, we define the message, sequence and ownership of updates. Managers receive practical materials, while feedback helps identify where explanations or actions need to be clearer.
How progress is assessed
Measures can include employee understanding of priorities, awareness of next steps, manager confidence and recurring questions. Channel reach and engagement are useful signals, but they should be considered alongside feedback and evidence that people can apply the information in their work.
A practical example
During an operating-model change, communication can explain what changes, what it means for each team and where employees can get answers. A manager briefing and a maintained FAQ can support consistent conversations as decisions develop. This is an illustrative approach.
Before we begin.
How does internal communications support change?
It explains the reason for change, the implications for employees and the practical next steps. Communication works alongside the operational decisions and support that make the change possible.
Do all employees need the same message?
The underlying facts should be consistent. The detail, timing and channel can differ according to the audience’s role, location and information needs.
