Overview
Great work on getting this far! You're now ready to communicate your new platform to the rest of your organisation.
In this step, you’ll plan and execute your internal communication. This is step 9 in the implementation process (it follows step 8 – Training settings). After this step, you’ll do step 10 – Managers.
How to complete this step?
Now that you have your first training ready, it’s time to communicate your new platform with the rest of your organisation!
To complete this step, follow the process below:
Decide on your method of communication. Some common examples are:
A simple email sent to your staff;
A meeting or presentation;
A combination of an email and a presentation.
Prepare your method of communication. This could be drafting your email or preparing some simple PowerPoint slides.
Send your email, or complete your presentation.
What are the best practices with this step?
It’s important to properly communicate with your staff about this exciting change before they use the platform.
Your internal communication should include why you’ve made this change and the benefits to your staff.
Many organisations choose to wait to send invitation emails to users until after they have completed their internal communication. If you’ve instead chosen to send your invitation emails during your user upload in previous steps, you can ignore action 4 above.
What are examples of this step in action?
We’ve included an example email below to show you what your internal communication might look like. Be sure to think about the benefits to your own organisation and customise it to you:
