In a recent I-HR newsletter, moderator Beth N. Carvin posed a thought-provoking question about whether branding concepts could enhance productivity and retention. My expanded response explores this idea:
Absolutely, branding principles can be a powerful tool for boosting employee productivity and retention.
Consider a manager communicating with their team. By consistently building a positive reputation through clear and effective messaging, the manager effectively engages in a branding exercise. This helps foster trust and goodwill, leading to messages that are not only accepted but acted upon.
Marketers achieve similar outcomes, crafting a series of messages to establish a strong, positive reputation over time.
Once trust and goodwill are established, subsequent communication can directly influence productivity and retention.
For instance, in crafting employee newsletters for corporate clients, I emphasize content that provides genuine value to employees. This approach transforms the newsletter from being seen as mere management propaganda to a trusted resource. Consequently, when requests are made?"such as adhering to safety protocols?"employees respond positively.
Referring to this trust-building process as "branding" may seem a mere semantic choice. However, naming such processes often clarifies and streamlines them, which enhances understanding and implementation. This is the benefit of discussing branding in the realm of employee communication.
Broadening this discussion, it's crucial to recognize the diverse roles of communication in boosting productivity and retention. Typically, communication falls into three categories: instructional, contextual, and motivational.
- Instructional Communication: Offers clear, timely, and functional information that empowers employees to perform efficiently and with confidence.
- Contextual Communication: Provides a strategic perspective that helps employees see how their tasks align with broader organizational goals.
- Motivational Communication: Focuses on employees, highlighting the significance of their contributions and encouraging them to engage willingly.
To build trust and goodwill, instructional communication should be reliable, contextual communication should be relevant, and motivational communication should be employee-centered.
In summary, view branding as a strategy for establishing trust and goodwill?"key elements that bolster productivity and retention through effective communication.
