Lake Washington Human Resource Association’s 2012 Symposium
Ethan Yarbrough, co-founder and vice chairman of the board, and Mark Borys, director of human resources of Allyis, a technology consulting company, will speak at the Lake Washington Human Resource Association’s (LWHRA) 2012 Symposium on February 9 at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, Washington.
Yarbrough and Borys will present an educational session on the topic “Engaging Each Other: The Power of Cultivating a Culture of Communication”.
Employees are experts. They have answers to questions their colleagues and clients have. But communication in organizations is often stifled by a company’s culture, its technology or lack thereof, and individual employees who withhold valuable knowledge for fear of no longer being viewed as valuable.
Often times, the only feedback HR and executive leadership receives from employees is from performance reviews, broad surveys around topics such as benefits or when an employee resigns. What if companies created a culture of communication that was regular, multi-directional, dynamic and accessible to all employees whether they are tethered to their desk and computer all day or out in the field? What if the playing field was leveled for all employees, managers and executive leadership by providing a platform for frequent, on-demand, open-ended communication?
Attendees will learn how HR leaders can drive a culture shift around communications in their organization. They will learn how to cultivate a deeper level of communication among all employees and the impact of what happens within organizations around recruiting and retention when this kind of communication is fostered.
The session is approved for one general recertification credit by HR Certification institute (HRCI).
