The Importance of Organizational Communications
|
Communications, both internal and external, can be the lifeblood of an organization. Communications allows for transparency, inclusion and opportunities for employees, partners, clients and prospects.
However, one of the most important aspects of both internal and external communications is consistency. Keeping up with the regular sharing of information, news and resources is an extremely difficult task. It's one of the first things to get pushed to the side when the To-Do list gets overwhelming.
It happens to us too, and we're HR consultants! After an insane year of flying coast-to-coast on several client engagements, I sat down and realized that we needed to get our monthly newsletter back in action. It's our one time a month that we can engage with our partners, clients and friends on issues that we find important. Honestly, it's too important to push aside.
So we're glad to be back. We'll be sharing some of our blog posts, upcoming events, job postings and other musings that relate to the HR community. Drop me a line, let me know your thoughts and I look forward to engaging with you on a monthly basis.
Barbara Irwin, President, HR Advisors Group

The Silver Tsunami is Coming - Really
A lot of my family, including myself, lived in Florida over the past 20 years. It's the land of white sandy beaches, Mickey Mouse, orange juice and snowbirds! Every year after Thanksgiving, retirees would load up their Mercury Grand Marquis, hang their clothing from a rod in the back seat and begin their journey southward on I-95 to their winter homes in the warm recesses of Florida.
