A 5-step guide to collaborative manager communications

Manager comms are essential to establish a productive workplace. But it isn’t always as effective as it could be.

A Workforce Institute at UKG study that shows 74% of employees think better manager comms would improve employee  effectiveness.

Managers “really are the people that need to communicate down into the organization, so getting their buy-in and support is critical as you put together your communications strategy,” said Laurie Tortorello, director of people and culture communications at RS Americas, while speaking at Ragan’s Employee Communications Conference.

“Managers struggle to lead when they don’t have critical information,” she said. “They have no way of assuaging fears…they have a hard time reacting and pivoting to a positive message when they’re not aware of what’s happening.”
