Employee engagement
The quickest way to disengage people is to make all your communication top-down, one-way messages.
The one-way nature of traditional “comms” creates confused employees who find it difficult to make sense of the message being communicated and the changes being asked of them.
A Big Picture is a powerful way to engage everybody with the most important messages – without the limitations of language that often get in the way of productive communication.
Our process makes sure that the CEO and leadership team are clear and aligned on the message or story that is being communicated. We also take care to include the views and experiences of employees from all levels of the organisation in our pictures. By doing this, we ensure that the final picture speaks to the employees’ experience as much as it does to the leadership vision. This creates a connection between leadership and employees and sends a powerful message that the leadership team is willing to listen to honest feedback.
When the Visual Dialogue group sessions are run with the final picture, employees have the opportunity to talk about what the leadership team’s vision means personally to them, how it will affect them and the connection between their experiences and those of the leadership. This two-way dialogue generates open and honest employee feedback to the leadership team that may previously have been too uncomfortable to give.
