Solid internal communications achieve business goals, but most communication on most intranets is just the publication of news and features, harkening back to the old days of company publications. Some are even starting to question the link between a company’s commitment to effective employee communications and their intranets.
In this five-week online workshop, we’ll explore five distinct classes of internal communication that can be supported on an intranet that go far beyond the simple publication of articles. The approaches examined will include those you can adopt right now, without the introduction of new software or technology, as well as some that require the use of new communication channels. Included in this webinar will be…
- Corporate initiatives—From organizational change to quality improvement, we’ll look at how the intranet can support a company’s efforts to introduce a new approach to employees.
- Business literacy—Intranets can serve as a dynamic tool for bringing employees up to speed about customers, competitors, the marketplace and a company’s own products and services.
- Line of sight—Research makes it clear that companies perform better when employees can connect the dots between top-level decisions and their own day-to-day work. Learn how intranets can strengthen that connection.
- Bad news -- Companies are being snatched up and melded together at an increasing pace. Employees are receiving layoff notices at an alarming rate. Rumors swirl about the future of businesses. We’ll look at approaches to helping employees get through periods when the news is bad enough to distract people from their work.
- Benefits and open enrollment—It may be the dullest part of an internal communicator’s job, but benefits are a vital part of what attracts people to work at a company. While open enrollment takes place on intranets, these networks are woefully underused when it comes to benefits.
During the Webinar, you’ll benefit from lectures, links to other online resources, downloadable handouts, and interaction with your instructor as well as other Webinar participants. All this costs only $195—a fraction of what you’d spend on a similar session in a hotel meeting room—and you’ll never have to leave your desk.
Webinars are asynchronous—you participate when it’s convenient for you. A new text-based lecture is posted each Monday morning, but you can take advantage of it whenever you have the time. Be sure to watch the video demo of the webinar format to determine if it’s right for your professional development needs. If you have questions, contact Shel at mailto:shel@holtz.com.
