Your query is a little vague and general. First, you need to conduct a cause analysis. When you seek an answer, it means you feel there is a problem. What is the problem? Define the problem. Is the issue about the inability of employees to communicate clearly, or is it about the lack of a proper channel for communication? Is it related to inadequate communication avenues? What are the existing methods of communication? At what levels, i.e., at lower levels or in general, is this problem perceived? You need to define the problem to select the right solution.

Hi Sai,
Let me be more precise. I am working in an eCommerce company in a generalist role, focusing purely on employee engagement within the People & Culture Team. I have been given the task of implementing strategic planning in my organization. I am very excited to do it but am struggling to come up with ideas. Could you kindly suggest some?
What are other ways, ideas, or topics for strategic planning related to HR and employee engagement? I kindly request you all to share a few examples to give me a clearer picture of what I need to do.
How should I start and how can I gather the data for analysis, as well as conduct a cause analysis?
Thank you.

Most of Employee Communication - Fear & Shy Problem. Not Proper Understanding. That Atmosphere is not conducive due to a lack of communication. By imparting some freshness and motivation training, we can slowly improve the way we operate. Let me suggest some practices.

Hi Fathima,
For any communication system to be effective from an employee perspective, it shall create an environment wherein employees feel free and comfortable to voice their views and opinions. Such an environment is the by-product of a culture characterized by an open-door policy. An open-door policy means transparency, which implies that employees are made aware of policies, informed about any developments concerning them and the organization, and are recipients of knowledge from peers and superiors, among others.
I read somewhere that a blue-chip MNC allows its employees to take up classes for budding managers and techies to share their knowledge and experience with them for an hour or so on some days in a week. To make communication serve your engagement objectives, it shall breed an emotional connection between employees and the organization by involving them in the decision-making process. For this, the organization shall create platforms to allow employees to make suggestions, discuss their thoughts, and share their ideas that contribute to the value of the organization.
I read that a popular automobile company was able to save considerable costs in assembling cars due to ideas provided by its employees. The various platforms in this regard can be town hall meetings, quality circles, or employee portals where they can share their ideas on the intranet. Many such ideas can be considered, utilizing technology to create platforms where employees feel more comfortable voicing their views, especially if they may feel inhibited in the personal presence of their superiors.
However, I welcome seniors who are communication and EE experts to share their views on the topic.

As trainers, we can conduct a training program on various business-related communication skills. However, who has to sustain the learning? The employees indeed. Unless they have a passion, desire, and goal to learn, adapt, and implement in their work, nobody can impose the skill down the throat of your employees. They should have self-motivation to learn and should have a desire to understand and implement their learning! One can learn without even undergoing training. We can only lead the horse to the water, but we cannot make it drink the water!!

Hi, Fathima,
It is very important for the company to ensure that all employees understand the company's policy and act accordingly. Mutual understanding between the company and the employees is key to ensuring that the policy is carried out properly without distortion. In another respect, employees' expectations could be communicated to top management and company authority through the proper channels. HR plays a vital role in improving the internal communication system to work smoothly.
Ways of communication:
1. Meetings
- Staff Meeting/Management Meeting
- Departmental Morning Meeting
- Union Meeting
- Employees Meeting
2. Media
- Company Newsletter/Written Memo/Notice
- Inter-Plant Paging System
- Video
3. Bulletin Board
4. Activities
- Club/Hobby Group Activities
- Speech Contest/Debate
- Movement/Slogan
Clear expression requires clear thinking. Due to the different backgrounds of receivers and transceivers, the memo writer should keep sentences short, avoid unnecessary details, and treat subjects only in outline. Every word should be meaningful. A sentence should not contain unnecessary words, and a paragraph should not contain unnecessary sentences.
Procedure for setting up a policy:
1. Initiating policy thinking.
2. Fact-finding and situational analysis.
3. Making recommendations to top management.
4. Preparing a written policy statement.
5. Discussing a proposed policy statement.
6. Issuing a written statement of policy.
7. Interpreting and living with a policy decision.
8. Interim appraisal.
9. Officially reviewing and evaluating an existing policy.
10. Revising a policy statement.
Best regards,
