Leading with Logic | Communicating with Purpose | Delivering with Precision and Efficiency
When our company doubled overnight due to a merger, every function had changes to communicate. HR. Finance. IT. Safety. You name it. And everyone wanted… their own email. Every. Single. Topic. But here's the thing: more emails don’t mean better communication. More often just means more noise. So instead, we took a structured, efficient approach: -- Launched an intranet site with a robust FAQ section for key info and resources for Day 1 -- Built dedicated SharePoint hubs for managers and employees (especially for HR) -- Continued and expanded our weekly employee newsletter -- Added a targeted Manager Digest with key updates, deadlines and talking points -- Reserved email for major changes that required full attention — like benefit updates and job title changes Every message was bite-sized: a headline, a quick summary and a link for more. The result? ? No major disruptions ? Positive feedback from employees ? Engagement scores that matched their pre-close levels Efficient comms isn’t about sending more — it’s about being intentional, organized, and respectful of your audience’s attention. If your team is drowning in updates, it might be time to streamline. We can help. ??
You did all of that!! I was there! Your example of leadership has stayed with me and continues to inspire my own communications career. I am glad you are continuing to share your knowledge with those you work with. You are an outstanding communications leader and partner.
I can help Mr. Dane Dungee!

1 个月I love how the solution wasn't JUST the rejection of the request for an email, but instead you had alternative options that were more effective for achieving the goals of those teams.
