The messages from companywide meeting can be re-enforced days and even weeks afterwards through one-on-one talks and group meetings conducted throughout your company.   Encourage your management staff to hold regular department and/or division wide meetings.  If used correctly company meetings can generate camaraderie and solidarity between management and employees.  They give the company a platform to celebrate victories, boost morale, and show that you really care about your employees. 

A simple monthly newsletter with employee contributions can help your employees feel connected to you and your organization.   A bulletin board can help communicate customer satisfaction, quality benchmarks, exceeded sales goals, and other important information you chose to include. 

Establishing a formal process for communications and including the policy within your employee manual will show you’re serious about open communications to all members of your organization. 

Creating a culture of ‘open communications’ does not cost a lot of money but can return huge dividends through higher employee morale and improved employee and customer retention rates  

Let me know what you think,

Take Care
