Need you suggestion and Ideas....
Rallying management should be simple. But how do you engage and excite personnel working directly with patients? Or those working in accounting or human resources?
Employees must understand where the organization is going (Vision) and how they will get there. But more importantly, they must understand their own role in delivering the brand. Without this understanding, "brand" becomes a series of posters, a CEO video, a workshop - it becomes a "program" perceived as just another motivational tactic rolled out by management.
Thus, ongoing commitment by both management and employees is necessary to ensure that the brand is integrated into every facet of the organization.
All the players at all the levels (management and work-force)must subscribe to the same managerial and work culture. Participative management is one such thing. Everybody should be the part and parcel of all the business and marketing strategies. Particularly employees should identify themselves with the corporate goals.
There are various ways to do it, depending on the environment you are working in. Apart from regular posters, month newsletters, one can even use space in the monthly salary slips if it is a large organisation. One can use internal memo's or the intranet in a big way for the same. A lot can be done but one needs to identify and be serious about spending some money on internal branding in the first place. This is one aspect all companies big or small neglect because of the money involved little realising that it goes a long way in building brand value of the organisation internally. Your internal brand ambassadors are the best advertisement externally for your company. Look at how glowingly people talk about Google, infosys etc.
Internal merchandising is best strategy for internal branding like some posters, danglers various P.O.P materials so that all employees are feel like own company and increase their company image outside the area. Word of mouth communication is very powerful source to promote brand. So if employee feel satisfaction themselves, they will definitely promote brand as well as company.
Like O.N.G.C is also doing interanl branding for e.g. promotional board and gates in plant, organized some social events like blood camp, internal dept. banner and board. Majority all automobile showroom are doing merchandising during the festival time like Navratri, Diwali etc.
Give them the required training in one's field of work; set-in the procedure to be adpoted strictly; confirm the execution very frequently; rectify the aberrations with the set-procedures. We CAN SAY THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE ROBUST & TO BE FOLLOWED BY THE EMPLOYEES IN CONFORMITY to get the Internal Branding.
Yes it is true Ms.Meena and Iam also agreeable to the views posted by Mr.Mohammad Bakhsh Ji, Mr.William and Ms.Bhuvaneswari. Hence one should understand the company's culture, vision, and objectives. Then only the mental wave length between the company and the individual will match to promote the nternal branding. There is one say, " WHILE IN ROME, BE A ROMANIAN"
Internal Branding can be promoted in many ways - some of them could be - standardise every thing right from coffee mug to pencil, pen, stationery, interiors, screensavers, mobile tops, waste basket, etc. All of them should be reflection the corporate's vision and mission! Bring conviction about the corporate's objectives within in order to get the exposition out!
Agree with most of what is said here. Vision is key, but the key is to connect people to the vision in practical ways so everyone not only understands 'what' but 'why' and 'how' they are expected to contribute to the outcome. For example, creating a charter statement of 'how things get done around here' is a great way to focus, direct and shape attitudes and behaviours. How things get done is not about understanding the nuts and bolts of the process, but the character of execution, which is what gives the brand real personality. We must recognise that the best processes in the world do not compensate for a poor attitude, i.e.: lazyness, not listening, bad planning and time management, etc.. Many executives fail to fully realise and leverage the opportunity that branding represents, which is to really shape the culture of the organisation in a very positive and commercially rewarding manner. http://news.ethicalbrand.org/2010/12/disruptive-culture-a-thought-for-2011/
