Some of the many Pr stories an assosication has to tell about itself are familiar to everyone except its employees. How can this be?
An assosication can come to be so focused on getting their message "out there" that they make one of two mistakes: the supervision assumes everyone working for the enterprise already knows what is going on, or they plainly fail to dedicate the time and power to keep their own population in the loop. It's a coarse pitfall encountered by for-profits and non-profits, large and small. Left unattended, it can lead to poor morale, increased turnover, and an image qoute for the organization.
PR
Never underestimate the value of do-it-yourself Pr -- the idea that the leader of an assosication can be a persuasive spokesperson. Second only to the organization's president and Ceo, in terms of credibility, are the company's employees. Since most population assume that everyone who works for a wage is in it for the money, person who sings the praises of their employer's products, services or programs has a very persuasive succeed on their audience, be they friends, relatives, acquaintances, or complete strangers. Let's admit it, we enjoy being part of a team that recognizes the contributions of its people, produces or provides something of value, and supports community projects.
So what motivates employees to speak out genuinely on profit of their employer? It's simple -- tell them what the enterprise is doing, what their role is, why it is important, and solicit their comments and suggestions. This internal transportation is an needful type of Pr.
Some simple suggestions include:
o show the way monthly or regular meetings where all employees are given an update on the organization's goals and progress, can partake in the meeting, and receive recognition for their contributions.
o Solicit suggestions for improvements in the workplace, sponsor contests for the best ideas, and publicize the results.
o Give employees a first-look at new products or services and the plans to promote them.
o produce a monthly worker newsletter and/or create an intranet site that discusses enterprise news and highlights worker initiatives and community projects.
o opt a charitable cause that is associated to the company's mission, supply employees with an incentive to volunteer, and publicize their efforts.
When employees are informed about what their assosication is doing and recognized for their role in its success, they will come to be some of your best spokespeople.
