Dec 1, 2009: Internal Communications & Employee Engagement Workshop at Holiday Inn Atrium, Singapore

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:26:29 -0700

"Employee engagement communications are as relevant to companies on the path to recovery as they are when companies are in the midst of structural change or retrenchments."
Asia is being touted as a critical market to lead the recovery. While many companies here have communicated to employees the measures they are taking to stay afloat, few have really taken the next step – articulating their vision for the future and engaging employees in this process. Surviving employees are expected to remain productive while operating in a business environment that requires new behaviours and new ways of thinking.

This absence of a dynamic effective employee communications strategy in a time of tremendous global uncertainty has led to what is being coined the “corporate culture crunch”.
This 1-day Internal Communications & Employee Engagement Workshop is designed for you to understand how employee engagement communications can be a critical and strategic tool on the path to recovery. It will focus on both the principles and practicalities of planning, implementing and measuring effective internal communications and employee engagement campaigns.
