Communications Planner Template
A communications planner for scheduling communications and training talks across the year. It sets out each month with space for the planned communications or training talks and a note of who completed them, giving you a simple annual plan for keeping people informed.
A management system aligned with ISO 9001 expects relevant information to be communicated to the people who need it. This planner gives you a straightforward way to plan that communication over the year and record that it happened.
Built for Planned Communication and ISO 9001
The planner gives you what communication planning needs:
- The areas the planner covers and the time period
- A month-by-month layout for the year
- Space for the planned communications or training talks each month
- A record of who completed each one
What's Included in this Communications Planner
The planner is a simple, repeatable table:
- Planner header - the areas covered by the planner and the time period
- Monthly plan - each month from January to December, with the planned communications or training talks and who completed them
Who Needs a Communications Planner?
Any organisation that wants to plan how it keeps its people informed - on quality, safety, changes or training - rather than leave it to chance. It suits smaller businesses coordinating communication without a dedicated function, and anyone maintaining a management system aligned with ISO 9001.
Pairs with the Staff Questionnaire
Communication works both ways, so it pairs with the F-Q105 Staff Questionnaire, which gathers staff feedback on training, resources and how well their concerns are acted on.
