Engage, inspire and inform employees via reliable communication channels with a 100% read rate.
Why HR Communication Is Important
Human Resources (HR) departments increasingly have a role to play in engaging employees, developing leaders, establishing or managing a culture of change, as well as communicating important organizational objectives.
Companies with good internal communications systems often have happier and more productive staff, and lower employee turnover. They attract and retain the best people, meaning better outcomes for the business and lower recruitment costs.
What Makes HR Communication Challenging
In the modern workplace important information can get lost in the “noise” of overcrowded email inboxes or intranet sites. Staff can work in different geographic regions and even time zones. Some may be on the road while others are office bound. They might work different shifts at different times of day. It can be hard to ensure everyone has timely and up-to-date communication.
