Core Brief

Core Brief - May 2021

Core Brief is initially delivered by our Chief Executive or another executive director on the first Tuesday of the month to senior leaders from across the organisation.

The presentation is then cascaded through the organisation with managers delivering to their teams. The briefings should continue through all relevant levels of management until all members of staff have received a face-to-face briefing.

It is the responsibility of team managers to ensure all members of their team have received Core Brief each month.

Adding localised information

For ongoing cascade and delivery, managers are expected to add any important localised information as additional slides at the end of the core messages.

Slides should be summarised rather than be read out word-for-word. Managers are expected to familiarise themselves with content prior to delivery. This should help the presentation sound natural and not scripted.

Through Core Brief, staff should feel comfortable to ask questions about or discuss certain topics.

Where managers are unable to answer questions, they should follow up with the Communications and Marketing Team.

Each month, Core Brief includes a discussion slide which has a selected topic with questions to prompt and support discussion within teams.

The aim of the discussion slide is to encourage you to collectively think about and discuss ideas and thoughts around a specific topic. Feeding back from your discussions will ensure your team's views are heard and you can help to inform developments and improvements around the subject.

All feedback is shared with the subject expert and key themes will be shared through the next Core Brief.

Don't forget to share feedback from your discussions via our online form.

Please complete our Communications request form providing full details and we'll confirm whether this is the best channel for you to use.
