PR Opinions is back online unfortunately internal comms isn't

Hello.  Well PR Opinions is back online after some much required rest.

A new year but some of the same old issues keep coming back.

While I was away, Towers Perrin, a (take a deep breath) global professional services firm that helps organizations around the world improve their performance through effective people, risk and financial management, published an interesting study that found that only 51% of employees believed that their employers generally tell the truth.

Now as we all know, good communication starts at home (ahem) and it looks like there are a whole range of issues there.

“These results reveal a worrisome employer-employee dynamic that should be a wake-up call to any senior executive or leader who will need to communicate with employees in 2004,” said Mark Schumann, Towers Perrin principal and leader of the firm’s HR Services business communication consulting practice.
