Communication is one area that can make or break the rest of the effort that has been put into reviewing processes, resolving problems, and empowering staff.

All too often businesses fail to communicate effectively to ALL staff when changes are considered or implemented. The result is different staff working to different processes which in turn generates confusion.

The more information you share with staff, the more feedback you will receive, and therefore you are likely to generate better solutions.

Communication can take many forms - meetings, newsletters, e-mail, company intranet or web site, notice boards, to name but a few. Once you start communicating on a regular basis, staff will grow to expect the information, even if it is only to say that there is no information this time around.
