#2: REVERSING UNFAVORABLE VIBES THROUGH COMMUNICATION
What can you do to
reverse unfavorable vibes in your organization? In a
word: Communication. With management’s full support,
access to information has been proved to be a positive
influence on workforces throughout the world. An
educated employee is a valuable employee. Providing your
employees with consistent, sustained and honest
communication is the single-most powerful way to engage
employees and increase their level of trust,
participation and sense of loyalty to you and your
business.
How can something as simple as communication be such a
positive influence on your employees? Studies show that
solid, consistent, management-supported strategic
communications can and DO:
• Model positive behaviors
• Recognize and celebrate individual and team
accomplishments
• Open channels for honest dialogue
• Provide a platform for key messages
• Project a receptive, open image (management cares
about your ideas)
Employees become more connected to the business and
understand how their actions relate to it and support
it. New hires get connected more quickly and more
positively and people take ownership of problems,
changes and business challenges.
