Communications Executive Search & Public Relations Recruitment
Information today travels fast — to customers, stakeholders and employees. Companies need to manage that message to ensure all parties maintain a clear and transparent understanding.
The values and skills of the stakeholder management team are more crucial than ever in a cutthroat industry where company reputations can be made or broken in a matter of seconds. Roles are evolving to include new duties that go beyond the initial job description.
Corporate affairs directors and chief communications/public affairs officers are fast emerging as essential members of any executive team. A solid reputation is built by preserving connections with employees and customers and using innovative communication techniques to support a solid company image. Customers are less likely to buy a product or service if they have reason to suspect it is not authentic, so this is essential to a business’s success.
