You have 3 problems to overcome when undertaking a workplace communications program. Your employees:

1. Don’t have time to read what you send out…
2. Didn’t ask you for the information…
3. Don’t want it.

And most Human Resource Professionals typically make these 3 communication mistakes which doom their efforts. They…

• Communicate everything, all at once, just before an event (like Open Enrollment).  Year-round communication is more effective and you will keep your employees in the know about upcoming events.

• Assume all the information can be effectively communicated on a Website (or Webpage) or e-mail.

• Overweight the communication with technical information which puts off or eliminates readership.
