Manager Communication

Communication is key.

Launching a company-wide employee engagement initiative successfully requires your managers to be able to clearly communicate what is expected and why, as well as the benefits for employees. Misunderstandings can result in your audience feeling like it is just another thing they need to do in an already busy day or totally switching off.

We partner with you to help develop the right message and way to communicate it, empowering your managers to effectively onboard employees with the new initiative. When managers are confident and engaged, employees will be too.

While your communication plan is unique to you, there are some common elements:

• Communicate early
• Talk about the program before it is launch – your pre-launch communication plan
• Tell your managers first – let them what’s coming and what’s in it for them
• Communicate smart
• Cover all bases with a comprehensive, strategic launch plan
• Equip managers with the tools they need to take the program to their team
• Keep communicating
• Have an ongoing plan with frequent, tactical messages that you can adapt as the program develops
• Keep managers in the loop about program changes, additions and outcomes

Communication really is key to bring your initiatives to life.
