You have a lot on your plate with more messages than ever to get out to employees and less time and resources to do it. Your solution: make changes that will help you manage your workload. Here are a five things you can do to get better results with less effort.
| 1. Repurpose content |
| Just like turning leftover chicken into a tasty pot pie, you can transform existing content into something fresh and interesting.
|
| 2. Create unscripted town halls |
| Employees crave informal, unscripted meetings with leaders. So, give them what they want (while saving yourself hours of prep time) by ditching the speeches and boosting Q&A time.
|
| 3. Make everything shorter |
| You do the math. A 150-word article takes less time to write than a 750-word article, and a four-page newsletter will be easier to produce than eight pages.
|
| 4. Streamline your approval process |
| Getting approvals on content can often be a slow and painful process. Stop the "track changes" insanity by limiting your approach to no more than three approvers.
|
| 5. Build a network |
The best reporters use a network of sources to help them quickly track down lead stories. Why not take the same approach by developing your own internal communication network with people throughout your organization? |
