Dear all,
In XXXX we are continuously looking to improve how we communicate and engage with staff and following feedback from colleagues, we are refreshing the current format of the monthly staff address, including the location. The event in May is cancelled and more details on future events will follow shortly.

I'm glad the address includes the location. Far better than a PO Box.

Somebody just walked by me, telling a colleague "my job is to retro-engineer a rationale..."
I now want to be a rationale retro-engineer.

It's called "shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted", isn't it?

I'd generally call cancelling team briefings improving communication.
It means you avoid all the guff and just hear the important bits through the office grapevine.

It'd better be a bloody big glass

Hijacking the thread for a minute - I seem to remember from my working days that one employer tried to change from what was called a PUSH model of communication to a PULL model - i.e. they didn't want the trouble of telling us anything, but we were expected to think of finding out for ourselves.
Can anyone point me to some pros & cons of each version, or help on how to do the PULL style?

With a push method there's little or no discernment about what information people receive so there is a risk of people getting info overload and switching off. Also push is felt to be something that is done to people and it can be difficult to then get people to respond to 'call to actions' in the push Comms.
In pull the idea is as people are seeking the info themselves they will find what they need without being distracted or deviate. You have a narrow but direct channel and it can be very productive and impactful.
The issue with pull Comms methodology is that sometimes you want people to get info they might not necessarily know they need, for instance a new initiative.
The best Comms strategies are those that push, but not too much, and give people enough info so if there's a pull need, they know where to look.
