Hi everyone, we just released our study results today about internal communications and dialogue - visit www.national.ca/startthedialogue - would love your thoughts and feedback!

Hi there fellow Canadians! My firm is doing a small study on internal communications and engagement with a focus on the economy - I wondered if anyone in this group might like to participate. It's a fairly quick 30 minute telephone interview. I'm happy to share the findings with all who participate and are keen to share their insights and perspectives. If you are interested please let me know at cray@national.ca - we've already interviewed over 30 firms across Canada and I definitely wanted to extend the offer to the EE Network.

Carolyn,
I am pleased to see you reach out to connect with people in Toronto. If I was in the area I would definitely take you up on the idea.

Carolyn... Employee recognition and communications play a huge role in engagement. You might want to consider attending RPI's Recognition Roundtable in Toronto next month on the 11th from 1 - 3 pm. It is an informal afternoon gathering of professionals from some of the largest companies in Canada. They discuss Best Practice recognition strategies one of which is communications. Let me know if you have an interest and I can provide more details. peter

Hi there, I'm just wondering if anyone in the Toronto area would like to get together and share ideas and perspectives in person! As a communications professional, I'm really interested in how we can find ways for HR,Communications and Marketing to work more closely together to drive engagement. Anyone interested??

Hello Canada!
I work for a large helicopter company in Richmond B.C.
I am currently looking at ways in which our orientation processes can truly engage new employees. With the average statistics showing that a new employee may only stay with a company for 1.5-2 years it becomes imperative that the intigration into the company be more immediate than the predicted average of 4-6 months. We currently use a LMS for the corp. generic orientation overview but my concern is to not only get the employee engaged but fully functional in their new position in our company as quickly as possible. I would love to hear from you to get some ideas i.e. mentor/checklists etc. thanks!
