Importance of communication

Why is communication important?

A well planned communication concept forms the basis for the success of an employee referral program. For this reason, this topic is being addressed right at the beginning of the project. In the first few weeks, the focus will be on planning the communication strategy and later on implementing the defined communication measures.

Just follow the 3 steps to successful communication planning to get your employees excited about the Talentry employee referral program.

For strategic planning we provide you with a template for a communication plan. This should help you to bring your ideas & measures into a structured planning.
