How engaged, connected, and collaborative is your organisation?
A disengaged and disconnected organisation is an unhappy and ineffective organisation at best, and an accident waiting to happen at worst. But attention is our scarcest resource, individually and organisationally. Traditional forms of internal communication account for less than ten percent of employee views about their organisation. Staff perceptions are formed by witnessing the actions and formal and informal behaviours of managers and peers in their everyday work environments.
Research from many sectors reveals strong links between high employee engagement and reduced stress, improved well-being, increased job satisfaction, greater staff retention, and increased productivity. Engaged employees are absent for fewer days each year and are significantly more mentally present at work. I can work with you to:
-
Identify the gaps between your strategic communication goals and the perception of stakeholders,
-
Establish what matters to each of your organisational audiences,
-
Implement internal and external communication strategies and plans that will have a real impact.
