Quick, name the first thing that comes to mind when you are asked the question, “What makes a business successful?” You and most other people would probably say hard work and determination, good leadership, employee engagement, excellent customer service, customer loyalty, and other similar answers. You are correct, of course, as all these factors contribute to the success of any business. However, most people would miss to name another factor that belongs to this list: effective internal communication.
While internal communication does not seem to be an obvious answer to the question, it is clearly a vital tool that lies in the heart of business operations. If this statement seems a bit vague to you, then imagine the state of your business if none of your employees communicates with you or with one another. No one would follow company policies for the simple reason that they do not know what these policies are. Each worker would do his own thing (or probably not do anything), having been left in the dark without directions or instructions. As a result, teams and departments would be clashing with each other, productivity and efficiency would go down, and none of your goals for the business would be met. It is only proper that you build an internal communication plan for your business.

In your case, this refers to the sharing of information between and among the management and staff. The internal communication plan involves the use of structured, intentional and carefully planned communications. Unlike much of the informal communication that occurs in your company, the thrust of the internal communication plan is to set in place channels that facilitate effective communication to increase employee engagement, raise productivity levels and boost profits.
Specifically, a good internal communication strategy can help drive business success through:
