Would your job candidates and employees say the following about the documents they see in your business?
□ Everything I read here looks professional and creates a positive impression.
□ Things are explained simply and I understand what I am reading.
□ I can find the information I’m looking for quickly and easily.
Employee communications typically include things like:
- employment contracts,
- orientation and induction materials,
- training materials,
- policies,
- process manuals,
- quick reference cards, and
- newsletters.
They should be professional, consistent in style, tone and language and represent your employer brand. They should be easy for employees to read and understand.
Some employee communications are significant in mitigating industrial risk, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to deliver a long and boring document with jargon and legalistic language–especially if that reduces effectiveness for your audience.
