Everybody wants to be “in the know.” Any news your company generates, and that includes positive as well as negative items, employees should always be the first to know. Quarterly or semiannual reports in a video magazine format help establish a regular, trusted communications channel that will help solidify loyalty to the company and keep the union away from your facility.

Regular communication is vitally important. Quarterly updates are invaluable in building trust with your employees. First Cut Communications is highly skilled at building an "in the loop" bond by delivering the news. And that includes both good and bad news. Employees are more engaged when they know what's going on. In this example, the company shares some good financial news and information about operations with its employees.
