Internal Communications for a Non-Desk Workforce

The latest technology may lure you into disregarding your organization’s fundamental internal communications needs, but at Fort Wayne Metals, ‘old school’, traditional methods have reigned supreme when communicating with employees working in their warehouses & factories. Most digital communication was not making the cut, so including traditional communication methods has proven integral to the channel mix. As such, the internal communications small team found that a combination of face-to-face communication between employees and their managers, a traditional paper newsletter and an intranet site was the most successful way to share organization information and boost employee morale.

Learn how technology can get in the way of effective communications and how to avoid this risk by considering the basic traditional communication methods, including how to:

• Create effective & time-worthy communication atmospheres where employees can ask questions and be educated about organizational news
• Schedule face-to-face company outings, gathering groups or teams to communicate goals & culture
• Develop an integrated communication plan that fits your cultural needs
