HEALTHCARE SMEs KEY COMMUNICATIONS BEFORE A NO-DEAL BREXIT Have a named person responsible for internal communications about a No Deal Brexit as this is vital if you have EU citizens as employees. Do an employee audit to make sure that your employees know that this is about supporting them to be as prepared as possible.
Look at your policies and procedures, you may want to give staff time off if they need to get their paperwork, or that of their family members, updated or changed
Write your Brexit prep on one side of paper. Your staff are your ambassadors so make sure they can refer to all information. Give everyone a role in communicating both your readiness, and any remaining uncertainties.
Develop a positive attitude towards change: Bring the organisation’s performance into line with public expectation. Deeds build a reputation far more effectively than words.
Make sure you always clearly communicate any change to staff, suppliers and customers – if they don’t hear directly from you, they will fill the void themselves and may well assume, and relay, the worst.
If you or your client imports or exports goods or services to the EU you should check the most recent government advice for preparing for Brexit. For up-to-date guidance visit www.gov.uk/brexit
