The pandemic has changed how we engage and implement communications. Learning from best practices can equip us to handle future crises better.
In this series, I talk to practitioners on their strategies and tactics to involve, empower and drive communications. Specifically, I ask them to share how internal communications worked, what were the challenges and opportunities, how is the function perceived now, what skills mattered or will matter in the future and what tips they have for other communicators with future crises in mind.
