October is Global Diversity Awareness Month. At Eximia, our minds have naturally turned towards making your employee communications engage all your people – whatever their background.
- Welcome diversity of thought. At the planning stage, create a communications strategy that speaks to all voices. We all have our own personal thoughts and experiences, which can impact our decisions. In share plan communication, this could be assuming we know about our colleagues and how we should communicate with them.
- Use print and digital formats. Get creative with your employee communications – from brochures and flyers, to video animation and presentations. Not everyone absorbs information in the same way, so cater for all tastes with a blend of written, visual and verbally communicated assets.
- Think carefully about language. You could be unintentionally excluding sections of your employee audience by using industry jargon, confusing financial calculations and overcomplicated sentences. Focus on clarity and make sure everyone understands your message – including colleagues who are neurodiverse or who aren’t native English speakers.
