All companies have a culture that’s best summed up as “the way we do things around here.” Regardless of who you are communicating with, one of the most important messages is defining your culture and what the expectations and benefits are.
Before drafting your next communication piece, you might want to spend some time jotting down some notes about the company’s culture, the way it does things, what is valued, and what the objectives are. Putting this information in writing gives you a framework to use when assessing how effective your communication strategy is.
Of course “communication” involves all manner of dispensing information. It can be a conversation between a dispatcher and driver, driver safety meetings are important communication tools, as well as periodic email and printed messages to your fleet. Don’t overlook the fact that the orientation you hold for new drivers is an important opportunity to communicate the company’s culture and talk about what’s valued and how those values are expressed.
Regardless of how you communicate, starting with a good understanding of the company’s culture will ensure that your messages are consistent and that they lead the recipients of the message to a better understanding of the safety outcomes that are expected.
