Progress in improving internal communication is measured by an annual survey of staff opinion conducted by MORI.The latest of these,
conducted in November 2005, provided very strong evidence that staff 鈥渦nderstood the need for change鈥.The most improved areas
were managers 鈥渒eeping staff better informed about changes鈥 and creating 鈥渁n environment where people can work creatively鈥. Other
improvements were in giving staff feedback on performance. Staff also felt that internal communication was becoming more 鈥渙pen and
honest鈥. Lower scores targeted for improvement are 鈥 unlocking more of the talent in 麻豆社 World Service, making sure the top team
listens more to the concerns of colleagues and exploiting technology more effectively to help staff do a better job.
