On Tuesday September 30 we had an in class discussion about companies with good internal communication. Although we went over several, we barely scratched the surface.
One company that has good internal communication is Nokia. With social media becoming huge, Nokia started it's own social media division in 2008. The goal was to improve communications throughout the company and to get Nokia's employees engaged. Other purposes of Nokia's expanding social media since 2008 have been to get their 125,000 employees to learn about new products form the company and to receive feedback on any potential issues.
Another company with good internal communication is London Drugs, a western Canada pharmacy/department store chain. I noticed that their practises were good while working for the company before attending school. Information was provided through e-mail, social media, and through regular meetings. Although not all the info was useful for a basic employee, the company still tried to give as much info as possible. This is an example of good, if a bit excessive, internal communications.
