How to Better Communicate with Employees

June 2007 Newsletter

In this issue, we focus on the various ways, some new and some old, that management can use to get its message across and receive input from employees.

Why is this such a big deal?  The increasingly important members of Generations X and Y expect, even demand, that they are fully informed about their employer and their own contributions.  If this doesn't happen, they will look elsewhere for a more enlightened employer.  In this tight labor market, few firms can afford to lose talent for reasons that are within management's ability to correct.

Separately, if you will be at the SHRM Annual Conference & Expo, please visit OI Partners at our booth (#2522 - 2524).  The SHRM Conference runs from Sat., June 23 (preconference workshops) to Wed., June 27.  We have some very cool prizes that we'll be giving away, so be sure to stop by.  We look forward to seeing you!
