The legal team plays a key role in ensuring that all legal content is clear and serves its purpose throughout the user experience. If a brand’s different communication platforms convey messages in varying ways, <a class="af qg" href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/consistency-and-standards/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">it may confuse people</a> when they interact with each of them.</p><p id="3dea" class="pw-post-body-paragraph oa ob gu od b hs oe of og hv oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow gn bk">While there is much to discuss regarding the impact of content design principles on all aspects of a product, it is important to remember that implementing these three principles to boost product sustainability is a manageable process.

With clear documentation and a single source of truth for information, newcomers can self-onboard, reducing the time experienced colleagues spend answering their questions. This allows new hires to focus on role-specific information rather than general queries.</p><p id="e289" class="pw-post-body-paragraph oa ob gu od b hs oe of og hv oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow gn bk"><strong class="od gv">Clear language</strong>: Avoid complex terminology without clarification. Provide a glossary to ensure newcomers easily grasp company values and rules. This initial interaction shapes their understanding of internal processes, making clarity essential.</p><p id="5f22" class="pw-post-body-paragraph oa ob gu od b hs oe of og hv oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow gn bk"><strong class="od gv">Structured content</strong>: Present information chronologically, helping newcomers absorb insights without needing to go back. Clearly indicate new information, its relevance to daily tasks, and provide examples. Videos can enhance onboarding, but ensure accompanying text summaries and subtitles for accessibility.</p><p id="7b54" class="pw-post-body-paragraph oa ob gu od b hs oe of og hv oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow gn bk"><strong class="od gv">Reusable content</strong>: While onboarding materials should cater to individual roles, core information should be reused across departments. This saves time and ensures consistency in presenting company values and rules. Structure this information to be general, with department-specific adaptations.</p><p id="59ab" class="pw-post-body-paragraph oa ob gu od b hs oe of og hv oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow gn bk">Begin by gathering company values and rules in a straightforward format. Decide on the presentation style and tone of voice, which may <a class="af qg" href="https://www.wardour.co.uk/our-insights/setting-your-ic-tone-of-voice" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">differ from external communications</a>. Typically, the internal tone is friendlier, allowing for a more casual approach.</p><p id="cf01" class="pw-post-body-paragraph oa ob gu od b hs oe of og hv oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow gn bk">Collaborate with different departments, especially with an internal communications specialist. Ensure the recruiting team is aware of the onboarding materials provided during the first days and weeks of employment.</p></div></div></div><div class="ab cb ra rb rc rd" role="separator"><span class="re by bm rf rg rh"></span><span class="re by bm rf rg rh"></span><span class="re by bm rf rg"></span></div><div class="gn go gp gq gr"><div class="ab cb"><div class="ci bh fz ga gb gc"><p id="fd82" class="pw-post-body-paragraph oa ob gu od b hs oe of og hv oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow gn bk">The journey towards tech sustainability through content design principles reveals a fundamental truth: it’s not just about what we create, but how we create, manage and maintain it for long-term impact.</p><p id="cff6" class="pw-post-body-paragraph oa ob gu od b hs oe of og hv oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow gn bk">When teams across the organisation write clearly, organise thoughtfully and reuse content systematically, they reduce waste and work more efficiently. These principles benefit both the environment and business by saving time, reducing costs and making information more accessible. Every tech professional who writes emails, creates presentations or develops documentation can apply these basics.</p><p id="f889" class="pw-post-body-paragraph oa ob gu od b hs oe of og hv oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow gn bk">The way forward is simple: create less, reuse more, and make every piece of content work harder for longer. This approach extends beyond content designers – it empowers everyone in tech to create more sustainable content.</p></div></div></div></div></section></div></div></article></div><div class="ab
