Employee Experience and Communication Through Crisis w/ Chris Lee, Gallagher

While in some places around the world there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, for numerous others, the Covid restrictions very much continue to impact their family and work lives on a daily basis.Bill's returning guest is Chris Lee, VP of Communications at Gallagher. In addition to working with employers across Canada on their employee communication strategies, Chris Lee is a board director, mentor, speaker, and long-time friend of The HR Gazette. Listen as we discuss supporting employees and providing a first-rate employee experience during tough times. Hear too, about ways to imbed successful multi-channel communications strategies within your organization. According to Gallagher’s 2021 State of the Sector report, 33 percent of employers are discussing employee experience as a clear mandate at the C-suite level. The report also reveals that many employers have significantly increased other digital communications channels and internal collaboration tools over the previous year. If your company hasn’t already explored those options, it’s a good time to start! Hopefully, soon, we'll all be through these dark days. For companies to keep their best people after the worst of the Covid crisis passes, organizations need to demonstrate that they can provide an excellent employee experience and powerful avenues of communication. A big part of this is support for mental and physical wellbeing. "By taking advantage of every touchpoint to remind employees of your well-being program, they will have a greater appreciation of your investment in them", says Chris.
