In its national research on vertical silos in which employees feel cut off from those in other business divisions or geographies, Tribe found that respondents reported concerns about a completely different silo: the C-level executives.
This research indicates an uncomfortable divide between the top layers of leadership and all the employees below. Employees want to know the people behind the titles in their top management, and to be in the loop on their vision for the company. In her presentation, Tribe CEO and Executive Creative Director Elizabeth Baskin will discuss some of the Best Practices and Worst Mistakes in internal communications to bridge this gap.
