Internal and External Relations

According to Watson Wyatt's 2007/2008 Communication ROI Study, “Companies with the most effective employee communication programs provided a 91 percent total return to shareholders (TRS) from 2002 to 2006, compared with 62 percent for firms that communicated least effectively. Moreover, a significant improvement in communication effectiveness is associated with a 15.7 percent increase in market value .” ( http://www.watsonwyatt.com/research/ ). One primary area of expertise University Connections can transfer to your organization is how best to improve and effectively manage internal/employee communication.

In addition to the importance of effective internal communication, external relations leading to a positive public image or reputation affect a company's ability to achieve all other measures of success. University Connections can help you develop an effective external relations strategy, which will allow you to build and maintain a positive corporate image and manage crisis communications.
