bridging the communication gap between employees and management

Bridging the Communication GapBetween Employees and Management

While not an insurmountable barrier, the division between management and employee does have clear-cut boundaries.

Lines that won't be crossed unless it's by email or inter-departmental memos.

The gap exists to:•maintain the structure of an organization•keep the workplace functioning at the top

Where critical decisions are made at management level, all the way down to the bottom, where the bulk of the labor force exists.

Establishing meaningful communications in such an environment can be a bit intimidating to say the least…

perhaps even overwhelming to the point where employees make the conscious decision to keep their heads down and do as little as possible to be noticed.

This scenario does work, keeping staff ticking along, but it's a tad impersonaland faceless.

Some management types could literally work for years without ever getting to know the guy in the office at the end of the hall.

As for the working chasm between upper-management and ground floor employees, they may never cross paths during the entire length of their careers.

Depending on perspective, this type of professional relationship may just be the

NORM

…the way things are in the business world, even in smaller companies. However, some executives judge the matter a little differently.

They dearly want to minimize the division between employee and boss, opening more informal avenues of communication.

One solution is to assign magnetic document holders to each department.

Raise the bar of inter-departmental communication by using these magnetic frames to highlight monthly targets that have been reached in an office…

nurturing a spirit of gentle competition and pride in work well done.

The frame of each holder makes an ideal focal-point for a mail room to display graphs of operational costs

- or for the company warehouse to hold work schedules that will attach to any metal surface.

Yes, magnets are easily powerful enough to hold custom-sized magnetic document holders on file cabinets and metal shelving

…enabling a messenger to slap one effortlessly on a metal doorway or on the side of a filing cabinet.

Employees can read the latest memo from a department head, open the transparent front panel -

- and quickly reuse the frame, repurposing it and updating the message so that it can be used again.

Magnetic frames feature an enviable talent for catching the attention of large and small groups.

The frame takes that once evident line between management and employee, rendering it near invisible - creating a highly desirable bridge between the discrete levels of the workplace.

An air of casual interpersonal development grows between those who create policy and those that turn that policy into action.

It's priceless to realize that the simple act of holding documents and crucial business information in clear line of site through magnetic contact is…

almost comparable to the binding force that holds a working company together, except, instead of magnetism…

the dynamic bonds of business use communications to hold disparate groups of working individuals together.

It's an effective and wise management style that realizes increasing inter-office communication through the use of magnetic document holders is

a path to turning fractional amounts of productivity into monumental growth.

Good office communication is key to success in any business.

Liven up your business’ environment with magnetic document holders.They are made to last, and the magnetic backing guarantees a firm hold to metal surfaces.
