Even when a new reward policy has been designed and agreed upon, you aren’t done yet. On the contrary, the effectivity of a new policy depends strongly on its adoption by managers and employees. They must understand the new policy, promote it and preferably embrace it too. This will only happen if the organization has communicated about the new reward policy transparently. And that is an expertise all of its own.
Not all people are the same and not everyone needs the same information. It therefore often makes sense to set up various different communication flows focusing on different groups of employees. BexerHamstra consultants know which messages do best with which groups. Secretaries need a different take on things than HR professionals or team managers.
And messages are often reinforced by repetition. Explaining a new remuneration policy once is simply not enough. It takes more than that. Not only must the message be repeated several times, it also helps to tell its story in different ways and forms. This may involve management presentations or video messages, but it may also take the form of animation, Q&A sessions or letters sent to individual employees.
Do not underestimate the importance of such communication. It builds the foundation for the new remuneration policy’s acceptation and effectivity. In addition, the new policy must be integrated with the HR information system. BexerHamstra’s experts can help you with this too. Working with our client, we formulate a clear implementation and communication plan, and use our network to provide the right materials and tools – graphic designers, for instance. This ensures that the new policy lands well in the organization.
