CONSULTANCY

Caroline is an internal communications consultant with a decade of experience across a broad range of industries, including education, health services, charities, pharmaceuticals, and FMCG. As a long-standing member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR), Caroline continually enhances the expertise she has gained through training, mentoring, workshops, conferences, and professional qualifications.

Caroline’s own personal experience of loss and her observations from working with dozens of different organisations over the years have highlighted one key point above any other: communicating clearly and frequently about wellbeing and mental health at work is critical.

Sadly, the statistics do not bode well, particularly for smaller organisations.

The overwhelming majority of UK businesses are woefully under-resourced when it comes to internal communication and employee experience.

According to recent studies*, organisations with 500 people or less have an average internal comms team size of 2.4 and that already small number is getting smaller all the time. Yet these organisations account for 99.9% of the business population and employ 60% of the private sector workforce**.

This is the reason Daddy Blackbird Communications came into being.

Studies also indicate that it’s a lack of information, rather than time or resource, which slows progress on mental health in the workplace***. For small internal comms functions, and those ‘teams of one’ who are pulled from pillar to post, it can be a frustratingly impossible task. Daddy Blackbird Communications specialises in consulting for SMEs on internal communication plans, strategies and implementation that enhance the employee experience when it comes to accessing the wellbeing and mental health support, tools and resources they need.

Reach for a helping hand to let colleagues know they are valued and cared for.

Forming a trusted partnership with Daddy Blackbird Communications will enable those battered and overburdened comms functions to proactively promote wellbeing and to make it the priority it really needs to be.
