“Every CEO and communication professional should read this book and adopt the strategies outlined by Roger D’Aprix for tapping into the human energy of workers… A treasure trove of ideas on how to engage employees.”
– Milton Moskowitz, co-author of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For
Today’s organizations are undergoing revolutionary change that has turned their relationship with their employees upside down. Those employees, who are now the means of doing business in the Information Age, are increasingly skeptical, if not cynical, about the communication they receive at work.
For companies not only to be credible but also to perform in today’s competitive global marketplace, they need to understand that changed relationship and design communication strategies that break through the employee skepticism that gets in the way of performance.
Communication expert Roger D’Aprix provides a logical and successful strategy to inform skeptical employees in a time of turbulent change. Drawing on his experience as a corporate communication executive and consultant, D’Aprix offers a practical prescription for effective communication strategy: INFORMS (as in a communication strategy that informs).
The principles are:
Information—how information has become the raw material for today’s intellectual assembly line
Needs of the Audience—as the first cause in communication strategy
Face-to-Face Communication—the employee’s preferred mode of communication
Openness—as the antidote to skepticism
Research—to identify changing employee information needs
Marketplace—customer and competitive realities
Strategy—putting it all together in a coherent strategy
