Effective internal communication programs are the life blood of successful companies. They connect employees to the company and provide awareness of why things have or will happen. Everyone wants to feel they belong, that they are part of a team. This is especially true in construction work where employees from different employers work side by side and communicate all day long. During these times of economic and political change there are a lot of messages being delivered at the workplace and in the media.

Your employees need to feel valued, respected and important and the message that they hear and trust the most needs to come from you. On Thursday, April 30, ABC has scheduled an important program; Managing Employee Relations: Understanding and Preparing for Labor Policy Changes. This free breakfast program will feature a panel of industry peers who will provide information on:

• How politics is changing the way we do business

• A look at existing labor laws and how they are changing

• How the Employee Free Choice Act may change the way we do business

• How effective employee communication will improve productivity and performance

• How to implement effective employee communications in the field

Company Principals and HR representatives are encouraged to attend with Project Managers or Superintendents who are responsible for implementing company communications in the field. Contact ABC or go to www.abcnhvt.org for further details. Register soon, space is limited for this free program.
