Managers are a critical link in translating organizational messages for employees, but too often they are left out of the loop. In this workshop, we will share our model for helping managers communicate that outlines four key areas companies need to address:

• Managing expectations—making sure managers understand their important communication role
• Providing access to content—finding effective ways to give managers the information they need to communicate with employees
• Developing skills—helping managers develop the skills they need to feel comfortable delivering key information and engaging in dialogue with employees
• Holding managers accountable—setting up measurement and accountability to ensure managers fulfill their communication role
   

You’ll learn how to:

• Demonstrate how to put the model to work with your managers
• Clarify how these four areas tie together
• Help you find ways to support each area in your organization
