DEI policies are a necessity in modern-day organizations. They ensure employees feel safe and engaged, and this boosts overall productivity and growth metrics. But where do you start to implement DEI in the workplace?
We connected with Q&D Construction’s Communications Director, Garrett Valenzuela, to address their stellar strategy for retaining seasonal workers. Hosting the webinar was our very own Tobi Anderson, Head of Customer Experience at Speakap.
Frontline workers are among the most valuable employees in an organization. They represent the public face of the company in industries from healthcare to foodservice, and make tremendous contributions to the economy, yet they are often overlooked and undervalued. These workers also struggle more financially with fewer opportunities and support systems in place to help them advance and feel unsupported in the workplace. For these reasons, it’s critical for leaders to create an inclusive workplace by not only implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, but being open and transparent in communicating those programs down to the frontline.
How are business outcomes linked to internal communications practitioners? What is the role of internal communications in change management and communicating about new technologies?
Incorporating internal communication strategies is vital to business success in today's fast-paced world. It’s commonly seen that poor communication between team members impacts key performance indicators (KPIs) negatively.
It’s becoming increasingly clear to internal communicators that company culture is an integral part of any business. And it’s especially crucial when it comes to organizations with frontline workers. A well-developed culture can have a huge impact on the overall success of an organization, as it dictates how employees interact with each other and with customers. It impacts employees with job satisfaction, a sense of belonging, and boosts morale.
Workplace culture is a formidable force within any organization, shaping the attitudes and beliefs that govern how work is accomplished. It permeates all aspects of the business, from everyday communications to the work environment and actions taken. This human factor is pivotal in keeping employees motivated, inspired, and secure in their roles.
It’s no secret that retaining employees in the current job market has become increasingly difficult. It’s especially true when looking at the manufacturing industry, where turnover rates can be high. So what should you do as an internal communicator or HR professional in a manufacturing company? There are several ways to retain manufacturing employees. We tell you some of the most effective strategies below.
One of the key challenges facing the construction industry is cross-departmental communication. With field workers, it can be difficult for these employees to feel valued and heard since they don’t work in an office environment where they can readily interact with coworkers and corporate management. And, all too often, key company messaging doesn’t make it out to them in a timely fashion, creating disconnects within the organization and a decline in employee morale.
