Community & Stakeholder Engagement
We are experienced engagement practitioners who balance good old-fashioned engagement methods with contemporary, creative concepts that connect with a broad range of stakeholders.
We find ways to effectively engage with people to understand their concerns before those concerns impact your operations.
We assess social issues and risks and design practical, commercially viable engagement plans that inform, seek to understand and gain broad community and stakeholder support.
We specialise in:
- Developing strategies that identify risks, opportunities and mitigation measures to protect and enhance your reputation and interests.
- Managing issues/crises with a best-for-business focus.
- Adapting approach to suit urban environments and regional, rural and remote communities.
- Negotiating with communities and pressure groups.
- Managing day-to-day communications, including 24/7 response, works notifications and community hotline set-up and operation.
- Translating industry-specific terminology, complex concepts and business strategies into plain English for a wide audience.
- Recording and reporting on stakeholder consultation.
- Gathering data and reporting insights to learn more about your stakeholders.
- Planning and implementing community sponsorship programs.
