Effective Workplace Communication and Newsletters

Work-Life-Productivity newsletters are direct communication to employees about some of the most important issues in their lives. They have the potential to have life-changing and ever-lasting effects on employees and businesses depending on what they say.

A work-life-productivity newsletter can influence an employee to become a better team member, cause a married employee to seek counseling for a trouble relationship, help another employee become more organized, and yes, perhaps influence a troubled employee to not turn to violence in your workplace. Workplace newsletters can say things management wants employees to hear without them ever having to say it. That's where the newsletter provider becomes a team member to create a positive, proactive workplace. You may never know what role a work-life-productivity newsletter played in loss prevention or crisis prevention. But it certainly will a role.

So who should write this material? Should you get doctor? A nurse? A freelance health writer? What about a organizational development expert? Perhaps a human resources consultant?

I would like to suggest none of these should be writing a work-life-productivity newsletter. Instead, I would like to recommend an experienced, licensed mental health professional, who is also a employee assistance professional with extensive experience.

►Only a workplace professional who has counseled employees on every conceivable personal problem and trained managers effective workplace communication and all types of behavioral risk issues, and who knows how to write effectively about the EAP core technology, can deliver the articles that delve deeper to empower employees and get them "moving" to achieve more at home and at work.

►Having the right writer is what pays off in one of the most important initiatives you will ever undertake -- giving your employees an effective work-life-productivity newsletter. It's not just the newsletter. It's who's writing that counts.
