This abstract reflects some of the practical challenges organizations undergoing business and information technology (IT) transformations face in today’s rapidly changing environment.

One of the biggest challenges facing many companies is to ensure they have effective communication systems in place to reach and engage employees right across the organization, whether they are desk-based in HQ, at regional locations, or not as digitally connected as some of their colleagues.
Reaching the latter was the challenge Laura Barbour faced when she joined Formica Group Europe as European Employee Engagement Manager in 2015. The task she faced was daunting:
* The company was in financial trouble and morale was on the floor
* The latest employee engagement scores were terrible
* Confidence in the company leadership was very low
* She was the sole internal communicator
* It was very difficult to reach employees as most were shop floor workers who were not digitally connected and weren’t allowed have phones while on duty.
This presentation takes you through the fascinating story of how Laura and her Formica colleagues tackled and overcame these challenges.

Avoid these 10 mistakes in your internal communications strategyVing
An effective internal communications strategy is crucial to your financial bottom line. Effective communicators and increased profits are directly related. Here are 10 mistakes you should avoid so you can stop sabotaging the way you communicate.
Communication is defined as the exchange of thoughts, messages, information or ideas between two or more people. It is an essential process that facilitates coordination, planning, decision-making and leadership within an organization. Effective communication helps boost employee morale and motivation by creating understanding, resolving conflicts and building confidence. However, communication must follow certain principles like clarity, adequacy, consistency, integration and economy to be effective. It is also important to obtain feedback and establish proper communication networks and channels that draw attention. Adhering to these principles makes the communication process more efficient and helps improve organizational performance and human relations.
1) Good business communication is essential to avoid delays, dissatisfied customers, and angry stakeholders. The role of communication depends on business goals and audience.
2) Effective business communication ensures the intended message is received without distortion, which is challenging with "one-to-many" communication common in business.
3) For new product development, communication plays a key role in innovation success by allowing small teams to share information openly and honestly. Documentation of plans and meetings is also important.
This webinar discussed effective communication techniques for project managers. It emphasized that while functional tools like selecting the right communication medium are important, good communication form through dialogue, active listening, and being present are also critical. The webinar provided tips for defining problems clearly with stakeholders, overcoming obstacles to communication, and managing discomfort during challenging exchanges. The goal was to help project managers improve their most important skill of communicating across diverse project teams.

It results in resistance and, on occasion, outright rebellion and creates enemies rather than allies.

Builds up employee morale, teamwork, and positive relationships between people who then are not only willing, but eager to work in concert. Takes a skill to do it, sometimes it takes more time, but it reaps notice-ably better responses and results. Whenever interacting with people - whether employees, colleagues, or the boss – anyone can “push down” by putting people down, or can “pull up” by communicating constructively. Conclusion 16
