Clear, consistent, and coordinated communications – that’s what we need. Join us for the CommsFest – designed by comms professionals, for comms professionals.
The challenges are there:
- The pandemic, new consumer regulation, remote working combined with a hostile news agenda and ever-changing political influence means that landlords are having to reassess and reimagine how they engage with a raft of stakeholder groups daily
- Relationships with, and understanding of, tenants must change. Trust needs to be rebuilt. Services must be re-designed working closely with tenants
- Strong partnerships with stakeholders in other sectors and across housing communities are vital in the pandemic recovery.
