TORONTO: March 2, 2009 — As the Canadian business environment continues to be affected by challenging economic factors, organizations have a growing need for informative, timely, and clear employee communication. To address this urgent need, Buck Consultants is launching four new services, available individually, which include Situational Communication Strategy, Manager Communication Bootcamp Sessions, Pre-Retirement Planning Seminars, and Pension and Benefits Change Communication Strategy.
These services provide strategies and tactics to help relay specific messages to employees, while maintaining worker engagement and productivity. The services help employers effectively address employees on a variety of topics, such as reassurance communications, staff or benefit reduction, and voluntary retirement packages.
“Employers need flexible and available communications solutions as they face today’s challenging business environment,” said David McCullagh, senior communications consultant for Buck. “Responding to economic uncertainty in the workplace requires nimble action. Events won’t wait for long drawn-out studies or multi-phase project plans. Employers must act immediately and effectively as issues or concerns arise.”
Buck recognizes that communication on all topics related to the economic downturn requires employers to develop an effective plan to deliver timely and appropriate messages, starting with the business reasons for their actions and acknowledging the personal implications for employees. Equipping managers and HR representatives with tools and resources to help build employee understanding and commitment is essential.
“Buck’s new services help employers relay critical messages to employees quickly and affordably,” said McCullagh. “Each of the four solutions is strategically priced and still involves personal consulting with clients to help them through the process.”
