The human resources department needs to embrace strong communication practices in order to thrive and grow within their organization, yet many companies don’t have a robust plan in place. When HR teams lack a comprehensive communications strategy, employees are left confused and disengaged with the company, which intensifies the existing challenges that HR already faces. Instead, organizations need to realign their approach to communications to create a dialogue between leadership and employees that both articulates the company’s values and better integrates employee feedback to help empower HR. Open channels of communication between the C-Suite and employees give the workforce a better understanding of the company’s trajectory, their part in its growth and how their input in the process is not only heard, but put into action.
