Employee Communication

An integrated and strategic communication program is critical to the success of any organization. Poor employee communication affects morale and productivity. Conversely, a well crafted communication program aids in improving profitability, ensuring alignment and engaging employees.

HR communication focuses on dissemination of HR data and information throughout the organization. Downward communication flows from top management to the rest of the organization and is essential so that employees know what is and what will be happening in an organization and the goals and expectations of top management. Upward communication is also important so that managers know the ideas, concerns and needs of the employees. Both formal and informal channels of communication exist in any organization and a good communication program recognizes and utilizes both avenues.

Examples of how we can help:

• Creation of customized employee communication strategies and tools that promote understanding, buy-in and drive optimal results
• Implementation of programs to ensure proper alignment and cascading of corporate objectives to maximize employee contributions
• Audits of your existing communication tools through interviews, employee surveys, focus groups to identify strengths and weaknesses
• Design of employee suggestion systems to obtain employee input and upward communication
• Development of communication tools that keep employees up-to-date on critical business issues, the state of your organization, new products and services and key business strategies and results
• Generation of appropriate communication tools and messages during times of transition – management restructure, merger and acquisition, downsizing, etc.
• Improvement in management’s understanding of employee attitudes and information gaps so that corporate messages are designed more effectively
