ABSTRACT
This project examines the Impact of Public Relations on the Interpersonal Relationships of the management and staff of Leadway Assurance Plc. The study aims to understand how internal public relations practices influence communication, trust, and collaboration, ultimately affecting the overall work environment. By employing a mixed-method approach, including survey, interview, and case studies, the research investigates the effectiveness of various public relations tools in fostering positive relationships and enhancing workplace dynamics. The findings reveal that effective implementation of public relations strategies positively impacts interpersonal relationships between management and staff of Leadway Assurance Plc. It also reveal that employees of Leadway Assurance would be better informed about the organization policies, goals and programmes if there is no Public Relations Unit. Public relations strategies not only improve employee morale and job satisfaction but also enhance organizational performance by promoting a supportive and collaborative work culture. The project concludes that effective internal public relations is essential for strengthening interpersonal relationships within an organization. It recommends that organizations prioritize public relations practices that encourage open communication, recognition, and continuous engagement, thereby fostering a more harmonious and productive workplace.
