PRSA Georgia: June 2017 Seminar: Talk Amongst Yourselves – Harness the power of your employees

Talk Amongst Yourselves
Harness the power of your employees to create effective internal communications programs

Employee engagement makes or breaks the success of your organization. Whether your team is concentrated at a corporate headquarters or dispersed worldwide, connecting and communicating effectively with employees is essential in driving results, retaining top performers and recruiting strong talent. Shira Miller, whose corporation communicates to thousands of supply chain employees and Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees every day, will present practical examples and real-life scenario planning to improve your internal communications efforts. Plan to leave this session with potential solutions for handling employee communications challenges, ideas for capitalizing on emerging opportunities and the ability to tap into a mini network of colleagues to help along the way.
