An organisation’s core values help drive employees, giving them a purpose to work towards or work for. These values are also important to convey with the right tone, which is the role of the communications director.

Claire has 10 years of experience in strategic communications and is skilled in Employee Engagement, Crisis Communications, Mergers and Acquisitions, Corporate Communications and Global Online Event Management. Claire’s vast experience has led her to move across the pond from Scotland to America.
In this episode, Claire describes what a communications role looks like within an organisation, incorporating the change of remote working. Claire identified how we should embrace it as it can provide us with fresh challenges to become sharper at communicating and considering finer details such as the time to communicate and welcome it. Claire finally covers the impact technology has had on communication professionals. There are many positives, such as the variety of platforms available, however as we have become more accessible to our families and colleagues, there needs to be a greater focus on the clarity of messages.
