Download or read book The Definitive Guide to HR Communication written by Alison Davis and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two experienced HR communications consultants show how to dramatically improve the effectiveness of every HR message. HR professionals know their programs are pivotal to organizational success, but they also know how difficult it is to communicate those programs effectively. Hampered by legal restrictions, highly complex policies and programs, corporate politics, and old-fashioned notions about business communication, they create communications their audiences simply ignore. It needn’t be that way! Alison Davis and Jane Shannon present simple, powerful principles and techniques every HR professional can use, even those who’ve never been comfortable as writers. Davis and Shannon demonstrate how to treat employees as customers, and use the same strategies, tools, and care your company uses to sell its products or services. The authors help HR professionals understand their customers’ (and executives’) needs and motivations more clearly; package information to promote faster, better decision-making; and measure their effectiveness. They present specific solutions for safely eliminating unnecessary detail and jargon; explaining benefits, pay, and policies; improving recruiting, orientation, and outplacement communications; supporting retirement planning; and improving performance management.

Download or read book 42 Rules of Employee Engagement 2nd Edition written by Susan Stamm and published by Happy About. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '42Rules of Employee Engagement (2nd Edition)' was born out of need for dcorporations, leaders and managers to engage with employees. Depending on whose research you read, as much as three quarters of the global workforce were not engaged! How long could organizations continue down this path and thrive or survive? As overwhelming as these data seem, Susan Stamm began to recognize the solutions are simple and within our reach. Engagement begins and ends with leaders and their day to day actions. It's the little things that make the big difference: how much information the leaders shares, how they approach important conversations, how much control they need, and how well they listen. An organization can be a best place to work, yet have a team no one wants to work on. The reverse is also true and it is almost always related to the leader. A challenge is that leaders often have blind spots, especially leaders that are struggling with their teams. This book include stories that leaders can relate to and that might open the door for them to consider how their actions appear to others. The best way to use this book is as a conversation starter. Take it to lunch with colleagues and discuss a single rule and the implications for your teams. These rules are actionable; when there is a challenge, there is always a specific action or direction recommended for dealing with it. In addition to the actions offered at the end of each rule, Appendix C provides links to more than two full years of free employee engagement activities and tools. If you want better engagement at your company, you should pick up '42Rules of Employee Engagement (2nd Edition)' today.
