Corporate culture is being challenged as a result of employee movement and company restructuring. The effect on the working cultures of these organizations is significant in a time when companies are most challenged to improve employee productivity. In these scenarios corporate leaders cannot afford to relegate employee communications to the back seat. Employee communications can be a strategic and critical tool in maintaining levels of employee engagement on the path to long-term success for the organization.
Ms. Rachel Catanach and Mr. Chris Plowman will discuss:
· The “corporate culture crunch” caused by the credit crisis, including the impact of downsizing, mergers and an increasingly uncertain business environment;
· How these mounting pressures can be relieved through change management and employee engagement communications.
