Employee Communications

The Challenge

How do you keep employees focused among change and layoffs?
How can your business stand out in competitive times?
How can you be sure employees are focusing on your clients?

Successfully answering these questions will give a competitive edge to companies large and small. Getting answers requires thinking differently, asking questions, and reacting to what you learn. Conducting the process with an objective outside perspective can be a critical survival exercise and VHPR has the plan to get you started.

Making it Happen

Clear, focused communication is a powerful way to create a loyal and productive workforce. Changing the way you talk to and listen to employees can make a meaningful difference in job satisfaction and performance.

Let us Help

VHPR can help you create dynamic employee communication programs or refine existing ones, utilizing the latest in technology and approach.

Change Management

Effective mergers, staff reductions, and reorganizations require extensive, thoughtful communication before, during, and after layoffs and restructuring. Without good communication, the change process bogs down and negatively impacts productivity, customer service, and morale. Speed the process by communicating clearly, clarifying management roles, and helping identify problems and concerns.

Two-Way Communication

We know employees work harder when they like what they do. Give employees more responsibility and a greater say in their jobs, and listen to their ideas through enhanced two-way communication.

Refining Existing Programs

Whether it takes an Intranet tool, and employee phone line, a suggestions program, or more face-to-face meetings with managers, your two-way communication process must be visible and easy to use. Don't assume that yesterday's communciation approach will work in today's ever-changing environment. Voicemail, email, video, and the Internet changed the face of communication. Find out if your existing programs are really working, if they inspire people to take action, and if they support your strategic direction and "People Brand." We help clients gauge attitudes, learn about currect company and marketplace issues, and develop ways to measure the effectiveness of what they do.
