7 Ways to Communicate with your Staff

2

Face-to-faceNothing beats a bit of direct contact for really understanding the emotions in a conversation.

3

CascadeInformation passed down the business through the management to the staff. Make sure that you allow questions to come the other way.

4

Suggestion BoxThis one has been around for years and is a great way of getting non-time critical feedback.

5

Open DoorEncouraging people to come and speak should be encouraged. Keep in mind what it might take for someone to make that step across the threshold.

6

EmailA quick and easy way of reaching out both from staff to manager and vice versa. Keep in mind that it can be easy to mis-read the feeling of a message and miss the importance.

7

Walk the FloorManagers say that employees are free to reach out to them but how many actually go to the employees? Walking the floor occasionally can be a good way to gauge feeling.

8

Employee ForumThese days this can be online as well as face-to-face, in fact the former can work better for geographically distributed teams.

At WorkInConfidence we are all about providing a way for staff to

reach out to you to raise ideas, issues and concerns in a safe

environment by providing their feedback anonymously.
