An Emphasis on Employee Communication
Many professionals do not understand that successful communication practices are much more than delivering and receiving information. Morsell Allison recognizes that there are strategies and various approaches needed in order to achieve and optimize communication within the workplace.

1. Ask employees what they believe is the best form of communication.
People vary greatly in how they communicate most clearly. Many people have preferences in how they wish to communicate that will enable them to communicate more effectively. The more employers take notice in regards to different communication techniques, the better employees will be able to communicate amongst one another.

2. Choose tools according to the company culture.
Discover the best way to get information across that is both interactive and approachable. For some, email is a great tool, but for others, other online tools are a better solution.

3. What are the desired outcomes of communication?
Many successful communication models result in more engaged relationships, higher trust levels and commercial success. Employers should define what goals they have regarding employee relationships before implementing a new communication plan.

4. Don’t create an environment of commands.
In order to better communicate with employees, it is important to show empathy and compassion. Employers should actively listen to the request and feedback of employees to show that their input matters.

5. Instead, create a trusting environment.
The space of communication should consist of honest communication. This does not mean all information should be shared with every employee, but excellent communicators don’t leave employees in the dark when they should be given certain information and ample to digest it.

Morsell Allison notes that it is impossible for businesses to reach their full potential if communication within the company is subpar.
Morsell Allison believes that businesses should constantly try to improve their practices. A major part of doing this, is hiring the right candidates. It can be a taunting task for human resource executives, which makes it important for business leaders to instill leadership management practices and implement successful screening processes. To make the right decision on future candidates, the following are some of the elements HR individuals can adopt.

Cross-functional interviewing
This type of interviewing involves numerous interviewers form multiple departments in the company. Each department interviewer can specialize in asking certain questions, depending on the needs of the department.

Outside assignments
Another interview technique is to assign homework to potential candidates. This approach will enable the interviewer to see the level of the commitment and talent level of the prospective hire.

Decide what is important in the workplace
Employers should decide exactly what the company needs and find talent based on those needs. For example, if the company needs a dynamic individual, figure out a way to make the prospective hire showcase his or her communicative and creative skills. Or if the company needs a team player, find a way the candidate can demonstrate the ability to work well with others.

Never rush.
Sometimes a company is in desperate need of new hire and rushes the process. This is a mistake. This causes business leaders to lower their standards. Don’t risk the growth and success of the company. Companies should always ensure they are using proper and thorough screening methods in order to hire the correct person for the job.
