Do you call the function #communications or #corporateaffairs? Many consultancies and recruiters now refer to the function as corporate affairs, and you might think it has overtaken communications. There are currently over 10k Chief Communications Officers, but only 902 Chief Corporate Affairs Officers on Linkedin. These numbers are global and across all industries.

Rebecca Thody is our Group Internal Communications Manager. We recently had the pleasure of sitting down to chat about her decade with the business so far. Thank you for your time Rebecca, what does a typical day look like for you in your role? Rebecca: "Well it depends on whether I am working from home or in the office. A home day usually starts with a nice cup of tea at my desk. I spend my day in Teams calls and interviewing folks to share their stories. I also write the stories, prepare communications plans, strategies and campaigns, working with our brilliant social media team! "I love that those WFH days also allow me to enjoy a mid-morning coffee with my Maine Coon cat Elsa in the garden whilst chatting to my team on a call. "On my office days I usually car-share to Corby with my boss or head to London by train. My tasks remain the same, but with the added benefits of face to face meetings. It's always lovely to connect in person with people when possible." What is your favourite thing about working for RS? Rebecca: "There is an awful lot that I love about working here. The people first and foremost are incredible. I also love coming together face to face as a Group Communications Team to really make the magic happen. "As a business we are always striving to be better, better for our people, our customers and suppliers and communities we serve. Being able to play even a small part in helping to bring these stories to life and make even just a small difference feels wonderful." Do you have a favourite work memory from the past 10 years? Rebecca: "It has to be the Purpose Day we held in our Corby office. It was standing room only as over 800 colleagues came together after lockdown to share their purpose an stories together in person. The energy was electric." #RSLife #OurPeople #Communications #RSCareers

Media professionals are shifting to corporate communication roles for several key reasons: Declining Traditional Media: Traditional media is facing challenges like reduced viewership and layoffs, prompting media workers to seek more stable careers. Career Stability: Corporate communications offer steady jobs, better compensation, and growth opportunities compared to the uncertain media industry. Skill Transfer: Media professionals' writing, storytelling, and communication skills are highly valued in corporate settings, especially in public relations and brand management. Work-Life Balance: Corporate roles often offer more predictable hours and less stress than journalism positions. Strategic Impact: Corporate communication allows professionals to shape company messaging and reputation on a larger scale. These factors make corporate communications an attractive career path for media professionals seeking stability, growth, and new challenges. #Media #CorporateCommunication #PR

Meet our team Kathryn Rowland is the internal communications advisor in our Communications team. Here, she tells us a little more about her role. “I work in the Communications team as an internal communications advisor. I help convey important information to our teams, such as business updates and news, promote employee engagement, and manage our internal communication channels. I also help organise internal events, such as the conference and our social events. Internal communications aims to ensure employees feel informed and connected. I went to university when I was younger and obtained a degree in Events Management. My first job after university was for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices in their fundraising team. I loved helping with the community events and fundraising and then visiting the hospices and families afterwards to see how that money had changed their lives. After having my first child, I found myself working here in the Performance team as a performance assistant. I had never even heard of Communications before then, but as I started to get to know Havebury more, I realised that was the team I wanted to be in. During lockdown, internal communications became a vital asset to any business, and I gradually found my role moving in this direction. I have since completed training specifically in this area and really love the direction my career has gone in. The most rewarding part of my job is when you organise an event and see people enjoying it. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes for events, but seeing smiles on people’s faces and getting good feedback makes it all worthwhile. It is okay not to know what you want to do when you’re young. Changing careers or trying different jobs is normal and helps you figure out what you enjoy doing. Don’t be afraid to try new things; sometimes opportunities come when you least expect them.” To find out more about the roles we have available, click the link below. https://lnkd.in/d5PcXCU #communications #internalcomms #careers #housing #jobs #vacancies
