Inclusive Communications Audit

Inclusive Communications Audit: Why You Need It

When you communicate with your employees and your external audience you are making a statement about the values and ethos of your organisation. Audiences are super savvy about inclusion and if you communicate in a way that makes them feel excluded it will negatively impact the attraction of talent, revenue, retention and brand value.

You may have developed your communication plans with SMART goals and have clear and consistent brand guidelines in place, but this does guarantee they reflect your organisation’s commitment to inclusion. Our audit will help you ensure that you translate your communication to showcase your commitment to inclusion.

Inclusive Communications Audit: How It Works

At Inclusive Employers, we will work with you to ensure inclusion is front and centre of your mind when shaping your communications. We will work with you to:

• Conduct an Inclusive Communications audit that looks at your digital, print, film, audio and environmental communications;
• Ensure inclusion is embedded into your key messaging, your organisation’s DNA;
• Create a set of guidelines focusing on inclusive language, tone of voice and imagery, which are all fundamental to how you communicate.

To develop truly inclusive communications, we recommend consulting with your key stakeholders:

• your staff networks,
• unions,
• leadership teams and exec.

Working with colleagues who lived experience of protected characteristics enables us to develop all communications through the lens of inclusion.

To support the continued embedding of inclusivity, we offer Inclusive Communication Training to ensure your approach to inclusive communications is sustainable.
