Internal Communication Tactics That Drive Employee Engagement

The link between job engagement and internal communication is becoming clearer. Consider that the top reasons employees quit their jobs are often related to communication. Poor communication could be a lack of clear direction from management, overall poor company communication or constant change that is not well communicated.

A study published in the Journal of Public Relations Research explains that organizations that want to foster engagement should “remove obstacles to internal information flow and provide ongoing feedback to employees about individual and organizational issues.”

How engaged are the workers in your organization? Where are you seeing signs of a breakdown? By assessing and establishing your communication challenges and goals, you will be able to improve employee morale, break down departmental silos, promote employee events, educate employees about benefits and build trust.
