Communications
HR directors now see their communication roles as much more than simply ensuring that employees have access to information.
The modern reward communication programme is researched, planned, matched to organisational and reward objectives and evaluated
for effectiveness. The aim is to increase understanding of the rewards and appreciation of the value which participation provides.
Furthermore, statutory regulation and media coverage have increased the profile of rewards, benefits in particular, to a degree where
employees are much more aware of their vital importance as a long term investment.
At Watson Wyatt we build innovative, award-winning, forward-thinking communication solutions on a foundation of research. Our consultants
draw upon the most powerful databases in the industry and publish studies that define the best human capital practices in today's business environment.
Our research shows time and again that there is significant potential for organisations to improve the return on their reward investment by improving
the communications of the workings and value of the total reward package.
Watson Wyatt uses a vast global network of experts and proven proprietary methods and processes in change management and web-based communication,
as well as traditional communication techniques, to determine what is right for your company. Our consultants help employers get the most out of
their investment in people, programs and systems.
