Communicating reward programmes effectively
How to develop and deliver effective communication campaigns

E-reward is inviting senior reward/HR professionals to a ‘Discovery Day’, aimed at equipping you with all the information you need to develop effective reward communications.

  • Proven ways to get it right first time
  • Make an impact that counts
  • Hear it straight from the experts
  • Theories and case studies
  • What NOT to do
  • Avoid the common complications

In today’s competitive environment where we are doing everything we can to compete for talent, effective communication ensures that we are showcasing our reward/HR programmes and messages to help us attract and retain our key staff. Communications has been proven to be a key driver of engagement and productivity – a 2014 Gallup survey stated that 86% of employees who receive clear communications are more motivated to deliver value. So how do you get your communications ‘right’, having your employees take the time and make the effort to absorb and digest your communication messages? In a world where we are all overwhelmed with messages, how do you make yours stand out and be clear enough so that they can be effective and make an impact on the recipient and ultimately the business?

In this E-reward showcase event we will cover how to overcome the challenges of communications, giving you the tools to develop and deliver effective communication campaigns.We will be sharing with you a newly-published communications model to give you some practical and helpful tools. We will also be bringing together leading experts on the topic of communications, giving you insights and tips to inspire you to create innovative and effective communication campaigns.
