Keeping lines of communication open is always important and today, even more so. With all of the things that the pandemic has brought on \u2014 the isolation, the requirements to stay home, work from home, potentially having your kids at home \u2014 having an open line of communication between employers and employees is critical for clarity, safety and connection.<\/p>\n<p>Employees\u2019 roles and responsibilities should be clear. This can leave room for flexibility in how duties are accomplished. Safety is another important factor. Creating a work environment where people feel safe to share how they are feeling and doing through an open line of communication is key. This way, HR has the opportunity to share helpful resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hrreporter.com\/focus-areas\/culture-and-engagement\/how-to-deliver-effective-communication-in-a-pandemic\/337159\">Read Full Article on HR Reporter<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effective communication between an organization and its employees has always been important, but it\u2019s become more challenging during the pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6035,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-resources"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
