How to Keep Employees in the Loop

How to Keep Employees in the Loop

• Here are some ways to increase communication with employees.

• More frequent group meetings — short but with lots of information.

• A regular newsletter, published and edited by a group of volunteer employees.

• E-mail with specialized address groups to people interested in certain areas.

• MBWA — every day, practice Management By Walking Around. Spend part of every day out of your office. You may get to only one office and one person, or you may get to several. The point is to do it regularly.
