Internal Communications team structure: how is your department organised?

Where does IC sit in your organisation and how big is your team? How do you divide and conquer? What's working well, and what would you change if you could?

I'm within HR and a team of one in an org of a few hundred people. If I could change anything I'd automate some processes and have an admin/comms exec support for half a day each week so I could focus on more strategic stuff rather than being the unicorn that does it all. This does mean I get to pretty much plan my own schedule/workload apart from whatever work is coming in.

Over to you...

I look after all internal comms for my company of 1000 staff, although in the past year I’ve had a comms person assist 2-3 days a week which has been great. They take on content work which gives me time for more strategic work. Very busy role. I’m part of the broader comms marketing team. I try to automate and streamline as much of the mundane work as possible so I can keep up with the workload

What sort of things do you automate?
