Part Two: Mini-presentation
What’s important when…?
Communciating management messages to the staff
和员工沟通管理信息需要考虑哪些要点?
l Overall purpose 整体目标
l Feedback on performance 对工作表现的反馈
l
First of all, I think it’s important to clearly state your overall purpose and expectations. In this way, employee know exactly what they should do to meet work requirements and to achieve performance excellence.
In addition to this, providing feedback on their performance is also important. On the managerial part, performance reviews help managers to keep track of possible problems in their own work. On the part of the employees, they get encouraged for their hard work and are given chances to correct mistakes made on the job.
Besides, managers should be more open in sharing information with their subordinates. They should let employees know in advance any proposed changes before they actually occur. This will enhance mutual understanding and trust.
首先,我认为清晰的陈述你的总体目标和期望是很重要的。这样,员工可以确切的知道他们应该做什么来满足工作需求以及实现卓越的成绩。
除此之外,对他们的成绩提出反馈意见也很重要。从管理的角度来看,绩效评估帮助管理者追踪他们自己可能发生的问题;从员工的角度,他们努力工作得到鼓舞,工作中出现的问题也有机会得到纠正。
另外,管理者应该与下属更开发的分享信息。任何建议的改变之前,他们应该让员工提前知晓。这将加强相互的理解及信任。

电子邮件快讯
你们公司意欲创建一份电子邮件快讯,定期发给全体员工。请你们共同协调这一计划。讨论并决定:
l 电子邮件快讯中应包含哪些文章和信息
l 电子邮件快讯的版式、发送周期
A:You see, our company is designing an E-mail newsletter for all staff members. It certainly is a very good channel for internal communication.
B: Yes. What information should be included, in your opinion?
A: It should carry articles about the tangible performance standards for staff to follow, and information about any changes in the company, such as new policies, new projects and new managers, etc. this will help to reduce the chance for confusion and misinterpretation of key corporate polices and decisions.
B: Yes, I’m quite with you here. Information of this kind will help staff members better adjust themselves to the work environment and achieve higher level of performance.
A: There should also be information about the latest achievements of the company as well.
B: I agree with you. But…
A: And about annual performance reviews and staff appraisals, just to reward hardworking people and look at problems in work. You see…
B: Well, you are quite right. But I think we should place emphasis on two-way communication. The newsletter should also focus on the employee side. We should allow our employees to voice their opinions about day-to-day work and corporate development. They should also have a chance to comment on the performance of the managers and point out problems in their work.
A: That’s a good idea. So let’s put in this column” Voice from the Staff”.
B: Besides the contents, the layout is also important. We can use some photos, people usually like to see pictures of themselves and people they know. So it will be able to attract more readers. We can also use cartoon pictures to help illustrate our ideas.
A: Good. And don’t forget our company logo, it will help to promote a sense of belonging and loyalty. And let’s also insert some humour, to make it more readable.
B: Finally, I think it should be sent to our employees every other week.
A: Well, er…you see, this is a competitive age, news and information keep changing. Why not make it once in every ten days, three different issues every month.
B: Alright. And let’s make it short, so people don’t have to spend too much time reading each issue.
A: I agree.
A: 你是知道的,我们公司正在为全体员工设计一个电子邮件快讯。这确实是一个非常好的内部沟通的渠道。
B:是的,你认为这其中应该包括什么样的信息呢?
A:应该包括员工遵循的具体工作标准这类文章,以及关于公司任何变化的信息,例如新政策、新项目和新的管理者等等。这将帮助减少对公司政策及抉择的困惑和误解。
B:是的,我很同意你的观点。这方面的信息将帮助员工在适应工作环境及达到更高的水平进行更好的我调节
A:也应该包括关于公司最新最新成果的信息。
B:我同意,但是…
A:且关于每年的绩效考核与员工评估,只作为员工辛勤工作的回报及寻找工作中的问题。你知道…
B:是的,你说的很对。但是我认为我们应该把重点放在双方的沟通上。邮件快讯也应该聚焦于员工这一方面。我们应该允许我们的员工发表他们对日常工作和公司发展的意见。他们也应该有机会去评论管理者得成绩以及指出其再工作中的问题。
A:这是个好主意。那么让我们把这个专栏叫做:“员工之声”
B:除了这个内容,排版也很重要,我们应该刊登一些照片,人们通常喜欢看到他们自己活着认识的人的照片。这样能够吸引许多读者。我们也可以用漫画来说明我们的想法。
A:很好。还有别忘了我们公司的标识,这将帮助我们去提升归属感和忠诚度。让我们来穿插一些小幽默,让它更具可读性。
B:最后,我认为我们应该隔周发送给员工。
A:是的,可…你知道,这是一个竞争的时代,新闻和信息变化交替。不日我们每隔10天发送一次,每个月有不同的三期。
B:好的,让我们尽量简短些,这样的话就不会花费员工太多时间去阅读每一期。
A:我同意。
