2. Team brief
It was identified as a key corporate priority that we needed to do more to improve communications with staff across the organisation. A new NHSGGC Team Brief was introduced as part of a formal system to ensure managers across the organisation regularly updated their staff on key corporate and local issues. Using a structured cascade system this allows us to: • Provide key information to employees quickly, accurately and in an easily understandable form • Promote two-way face-to-face communication • Provide a forum for discussion and feedback • Increase awareness and understanding of key policies and decisions and how these relate to the Board’s overall aims and objectives • Provide a backbone for service areas to build their own internal communications around
