Managers shower employees with information, hoping they can sort significant from insignificant. The theory is that more information equates to better communication and decision-making. “Tell and sell.” Managers communicate a more limited set of messages, starting with key issues, and then sell employees on the wisdom of their approach. Employees are passive receivers, and feedback is not necessary.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Underscore and explore
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Managers develop a few core messages clearly linked to organizational success, and employees explore implications in a disciplined way. Managers listen for potential misunderstandings and obstacles. This strategy is generally the most effective<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Identify and reply
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Executives identify and reply to key employee concerns. This strategy emphasizes listening to employees; they set the agenda, while executives respond to rumors and innuendoes<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Withhold and uphold

Executives withhold information until necessary; when confronted by rumors, they uphold the party line. Secrecy and control are implicit. The assumption is that employees are not sophisticated enough to grasp the big picture<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n

COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN<\/h3>\n

Experts estimate that effective communication strategies can double employees’ acceptance of change. However, often companies focus solely on tactics such as channels, messages and timing while failing to do a contextual analysis and consider the audience. Some of the specific communication pitfalls and possible remedies for them are the following:<\/h5>\n
Some of the specific communication pitfalls and possible remedies for them are the following:<\/h5>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t The wrong messengers are used
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Studies have found that employees tend to trust information from managers. Understanding the organization’s culture will dictate who is the best messenger for change—the manager, the senior executive team or HR<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t The change is too sudden
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Leaders and managers need to prepare employees for change, allow time for the message to sink in and give them an opportunity to provide feedback before a change is initiated. Communication is not aligned with business realities. Messages should be honest and include the reasons behind the change and the projected outcomes<\/h5>\n

\u00a0
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n

\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Communication is too narrow
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
If the communication focuses too much on detail and technicalities and does not link change to the organization’s goals, it will not resonate with employees. Executive leaders and HR professionals must be great communicators during change. They should roll out a clear, universal, consistent message to everyone in the organization at the same time, even across multiple sites and locations. Managers should then meet both with their teams and one on one with each team member<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
