DonateIt’s axiomatic that a company’s employees are its best asset. When they understand and buy into their organization’s goals and direction, they will be motivated to stay with the company, perform better and tell everyone with whom they come in contact about their firm. And that leads directly to the bottom line.
How to engender a high performance organization? It starts with open, transparent, two-way communication, led by professionals that employ a variety of strategies to achieve that goal. The Council on Internal Communications will explore those strategies, to enable its members to be at the cutting edge of what works today, and what they need to prepare for, as they move forward.
