An organizational announcement (or communication) is a formal message sent by an organization to its employees, customers, or the general public. It is typically used to announce changes or new policies, or to thank employees or the public for their support.
Organizational announcements can be classified according to their purpose:
- Communication about policies and changes: These announcements typically include information about new or revised company policies, and may also include instructions on how employees should be communicating with each other or carrying out their jobs.
- Communication about events and special promotions: These announcements may include information about company-sponsored events, such as company picnics or holiday parties, or special offers that will be available during the period of the announcement.
- Communications about employee changes and departures: These announcements may include information about who has been hired or fired, promotions or transfers within the company, or changes to work hours or shifts.
- Communications about product or service updates: These announcements may include information about new products or services that the company is offering, or changes to existing products or services.
- Communications about company goals and objectives: These announcements may include information about the company’s vision, mission, or goals, or about changes to the way the company is operating.
- Communications about company culture and values: These announcements may include information about how employees should behave, or about the company’s values and how employees should live their lives.
