4 Top tips for internal communications to drive open dialogue in organizations

About this Guide

Employees want to have a voice and be heard, respected, and involved. It's something any sensible business leader or communicator should want too. Employees want communication to be open, honest, interactive, trusting and two-way; and they want to know about the business, the reasons behind decisions and the objectives and effects of proposed changes.

These Top Tips will give you the tools to create and nurture the communication environment both you and your employees want in the organization.

You will learn how to create the desired environment characterized by trust, openness, transparency, sharing and engagement – and avoid the negative environment you don’t want: closed, opaque, say-do disconnected and siloed.

The tips will walk you through:

  • How to Communicate
  • What to Communicate, and
  • How to Listen - perhaps the most important communication skills of all
