With effective communication, you can motivate your employees, provide them with the tools they need to succeed, and help encourage them and keep up their energy even when things don’t seem to be going their way. Using the right communication platform–and using it to its fullest extent–can go a long way toward helping to enhance your overall leadership capability as well as providing you with a deeper connection to your whole team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Improve employee motivation<\/h4>\n

Around <\/span>85% of employees<\/span><\/a> are more motivated as a result of effective internal communication. Employees want to know what’s going on. They want to know that their projects and their efforts are making a difference. Most importantly, they want to know that they are making important contributions to the company as a whole–and that your management team recognizes them for those contributions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What if there’s an HR issue, including harassment or discrimination in the workplace?<\/span><\/p>\n

An effective communication platform can provide employees with a clear look at exactly the steps they need to take when they encounter a potential problem or have something they need to report. Pronto, for example, can connect employees directly to their management team and allow them to receive immediate feedback and answers when needed–but it can also provide employees with access to the HR team, higher-level managers, and specific departments within your organization, including IT. When employees can clearly see how they can contact the people they need–and who they need to contact with specific issues–they’re often more likely to address those issues directly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep projects moving.<\/h3>\n

Many challenges can slow down your projects–and send employee motivation plummeting along with them. Roadblocks, a lack of information, and even slow delivery on the part of other team members can all slow down the process and make it hard for your team to keep their motivation high.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With effective communication, however, you can go a long way toward keeping the ball rolling, even when there may be challenges along the way that make it hard to keep up motivation. You can:<\/span><\/p>\n
