Lee Hopkins talks to Stuart Symons about Internal Communications

In the first of our weekly Semester two podcasts, Lee Hopkins talks to Stuart Symons from Santos. Lee took over the Santos boardroom and interviewed him for over an hour, grilling him to exhaustion and tears over the intricacies of internal communications at a major Australian company.

Along the way you’ll get to hear Stuart’s views on internal comms, where they fit into the total comms matrix, why print won’t die, the challenge of branding within internal comms, who Santos is, what resources any communicator can and should tap into, and what advice he would give to a student of employee communications and those interested in the art and science of internal comms.

A fascinating interview and a must-listen-to with pen and paper with which to take notes.

Kate Tuffin has the latest from the world of travel.
