Description
This extended guest episode was recorded as part of our season 2 finale.
Our guest this episode, is Polly Czoik, the Strategic Director, Engagement, Culture, and Organisational Development at London Borough of Hackney.
Polly has been at Hackney for close to two decades, starting as a communications officer. If anyone understands local government communications it is Polly, as the former Chair of the CIPR’s Local Public Services Group, and through her peer support work with the LGA, she has played a national role in local government, and in the wider PR industry as a voice for the public sector.
In this episode, Polly talks to us about why she stayed at Hackney, what she has learnt about inclusive recruitment, supporting a team and internal communications. She talks us through the Keep London Safe Covid campaign and how Hackney engaged with the community during the height of the pandemic.
