Internal Communication Message Templates

Reliable staff communication during these uncertain times is key to maintaining employee engagement. SMS messaging is an effective tool for quickly communicating important internal information with the assurance that the message will be delivered and seen on time. With 98% of text messages opened and 90% read within 3 minutes of delivery, SMS offers a secure and trusted communication channel for time-sensitive information which will not get lost in overflowing employee email inboxes or junk mail folders.

Consider the following tips when texting employees:

• Keep your message, short, simple and to the point
• Limit your communication to essential time-sensitive information relevant to the employee
• Communicate during office hours only unless there is an emergency
• Maintain a tone of professionalism

SMS messaging can be used for various types of staff communication, including event and meeting notifications, office announcements, corporate news, HR updates, or scheduling changes. Here are various examples of templates you can customise and implement as part of your own internal communication strategy.
