Main challenge of companies in times of coronavirus: internal communication

by Reg G. A Human Resource Professional
Currently, companies face the challenge of keeping a dispersed team motivated, involved, and, above all and informed. Internal communication, therefore, has become the main tool for organizations to effectively address the current health crisis.

Now more than ever, maintaining rapid and effective communication with the entire team takes on special relevance. Fortunately, the digital age has created endless possibilities that can be applied and facilitate the way in which companies connect with their employees.

Here are a few of the keys to establish a fluid communication, capable of connecting with your entire team: 

  1. Communication with your employees must be continuous, instantaneous, and accurate. Thus, in addition to ensuring that important information has been received in a homogeneous manner, you will be able to keep your team involved in the company and motivated to carry out their daily tasks with maximum efficiency.
  2. At a time when teleworking has become the most common model, lack of communication can lead to a loss of commitment and productivity of your employees. Centralize all your communication in a single channel that allows you to keep your collaborators up to date, no matter where they are.
  3. Forget about sending complex internal communications that can generate confusion and discomfort in your team. Use the new technologies at your fingertips to create your own communication group. This can be in any social media network, and reach your staff in a simpler and more dynamic way. Make sure that each employee uses that social media network before creating any portal.
  4. Actively listen to your employees, their concerns, doubts, suggestions. Through a two-way communication channel, where improvement forms, surveys, document assessment systems, etc. are contemplated.
  5. Don't forget to analyze the impact of your internal communication to make sure that important information has been received. Ensure that the employee is well aware of the tasks assigned and are ready to work. Avoid any miscommunication.

Key takeaway

Each employee has specific needs. Many of them might be suffering from such a crisis. As a manager, it is your responsibility to keep the morale of each employee high. Motivate each employee through platforms like the International Registrar of Employee and Employer Ratings. Rate and review them on ireer.org and make them feel valued. Avoid writing long reviews; keep it short and easy to understand. This can build a good relationship between employees and managers and allow them to communicate.
