The Future Of Employee Communication
These past few years have accelerated changes and disrupted how companies lead, enable, empower, and engage around communications. Leaders in corporate communications, human resources, and IT are all tackling new responsibilities and challenges in connecting with employees who no longer regularly share the same workspace and may be overwhelmed with increased communication volume, velocity, and variety.
We have been catapulted into a new employee experience paradigm, and it can be challenging to get our bearings. We now need to plan for the future, but it can be hard to consider the future when the present is filled with unique and pressing communication challenges. Yet, the future of communication may hold answers to problems we are experiencing today; it may inspire us to change and, perhaps most importantly, enable us to understand how to prepare to embrace a better one.
We have gathered leading industry experts on employee communications, intranets, the digital workplace, and employee experience to help us navigate the years ahead. Join James Robertson, a Step Two global thought leader and author on digital employee experience, Suzie Robinson, author of the popular ClearBox employee experience platforms report, and Richard Harbridge, a celebrated Microsoft MVP, as they share insight on how to better understand, leverage, and prepare for the future of employee communications.

Part 1The internet age now allows you to connect to work from .docx
Part 1
The internet age now allows you to connect to work from virtually anywhere in the world. However, managing a team of remote employees presents unique challenges. Monitoring, communicating, organizing, and motivating remote employees and coworkers can be difficult, even with available technology that helps remote employees meet and collaborate in virtual spaces. As you review the Learning Resources this week to prepare for your Shared Practice posting, imagine the following scenario:
At your current employer, or at a company where you would like to work, you have been assigned to manage a virtual team. Your virtual team is composed of some individuals in the office, some that work from home in various time zones, and some others that work out of another office several time zones away. Consider the challenges of managing virtual employees and how these challenges compare to managing a traditional “non-virtual” team.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a response that addresses the following: (350 or more words for Discussion post)
Explain benefits and challenges that a manager has when developing, leading, and motivating virtual teams and how those challenges are unique to virtual teams.
Explain which of the challenges you identified that need to be addressed directly by a manager, and which challenges should managers empower or allow the team to address.
Describe how you would meet the challenges and contribute to the virtual team if you are assigned to manage the team. Be sure to identify obstacles you think you would have and how would you address them.
Hint: An exemplary response will draw on the themes from previous weeks, such as ensuring a positive and productive environment, handling difficult conversations, motivating employees, providing feedback, maintaining levels of trust, etc.
Part 2 (250 words or more for each colleague)
Read a selection of your colleagues' posts.
Respond to two or more of your colleagues' postings in one or more of the following ways:
Share an experience that is relevant to a colleague’s post about having managed, lead, and/or participated on teams that largely collaborated in a virtual environment. Evaluate the factors that made the teams successful or ineffective.
Expand on a colleague’s post with relevant concerns or observations, based on your experiences or the readings in the classroom, about working on or managing virtual teams.
Expand on a colleague’s post by offering resources and processes that should be in place to support virtual teams and how to mitigate the risks that working virtually creates.

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR Compliance
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements

- 1. THE BIGGEST BOTTLENECKS TO A REMOTE SETUP AND OVERCOMING THEM
- 2. The past few weeks have been a tough test for our work structure and processes.
- 3. With the threat of COVID-19 showing no signs of dying out
- 4. Offices are abandoned, companies are encouraging employees to work from home
- 5. And it’s difficult to manage without being in the same office are now being run remotely.
- 6. Are we ready to shape it for the better, is the question that remains. Are we ready to make our work processes more efficient? Do we trust that we can work without it being enforced?
- 7. Here are how you can counter the common challenges that you face working with or managing remote teams.
- 8. CHALLENGE 1: COMMUNICATION Effective communication is one of the biggest challenges for distributed teams
- 9. SOLUTION: PEOPLE, EXPECTATIONS AND TOOLS People are central to communication. Working from remote locations needs good communication skills. Take a few minutes to make sure your team is on the page with the tasks to be done.
- 10. Use of tools like Slack or Twist for collaborations, Zoom for video calls, Trello or Jira for project management.
- 11. CHALLENGE 2: EMPLOYEE MORALE AND TRUST Another challenge that remote-first companies face is to maintain the morale of the remote workers.
- 12. As a team new to a remote setting, make sure you clearly convey your problem statement to remote workers. SOLUTION: PROBLEM STATEMENT, COLLABORATION AND TEAM BONDING
- 13. Encourage teams to bond together by video chats and shared activities. It will help to develop a better relationship among the remote employees and boost employee morale.
- 14. CHALLENGE 3: EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY When employees work from their home or a remote location, their productivity may be low.
- 15. As we saw earlier, tools are very important for the success of a remote work. Tracking tools are definitely one of them. SOLUTIONS: TOOLS FOR TRACKING, PROCESSES AND RECOGNITION
- 16. Have clear office hours if needed. Support your employees with regular one-on-ones to understand their issues. There might be plenty.
- 17. Do you have any challenges or tips and tricks in mind to share with us? Feel free to leave a comment or drop a mail at team@crewscale.com. We’d love to know your insights and thoughts!
