Communication & Strategies

Too often, organisations implement change programs, yet fail to convey the benefits to employees. Managing Work|Life Balance International assists organisations develop communication strategies to support the initiatives and ensure all employees are aware of the services and programs that are available.

Work/Life initiatives often involve a significant cultural change. Communication is a vital component in managing that change effectively and ensuring a successful transition from policy through to implementation.

Many organisations spend a great deal of time and resources developing and implementing innovative work/life strategies, but fail to maximise the benefits for the business and employees.

One major reason is that the policies, programs and benefits are not effectively communicated to staff. The loss is three-fold...

Employees who are uninformed are not empowered to take advantage of the benefits and opportunities available to them
There is a low return on the investment of resources, programs and flexible options are under-used; and
Employee morale and satisfaction is affected.

By effectively communicating work/life policies and benefits, organisations can improve the satisfaction and commitment of current employees and strengthen their competitive advantage in attracting new recruits.

Managing Work|Life Balance International has worked with a number of Work and Family Award winning organisations to develop communication strategies to support the implementation of broad range of work / life initiatives.

An effective communication plan may involve a variety of media including:

Focus groups
One-on-one or team briefings
Presentations
Intranet websites
Electronic and print newsletters
Brochures and other publications
Forums for ongoing consultation

We work with your organisation to develop communication strategies and supporting material which will maximise the benefits of work/life initiatives for both your employees and your business.
