L'importance de favoriser des communications franches et claires dans votre organisation

Groupe d'employés en discussion

L'on ne saurait suffisamment insister sur l'importance des communications franches et claires.  Il s'agit de l'une des caractéristiques les plus importantes des organisations de haut rendement.   La plupart des problèmes de toute sorte peuvent découler d'une mauvaise communication ou d'un manque de compétences en communication telles que l'écoute attentive ou la  prestation de rétroaction constructive.

Il est important de communiquer de façon continue afin de tenir l'équipe à jour, concentrée et allant de l'avant.  Les employés doivent se sentir libres de faire part de leurs idées et de leurs opinions à leurs collègues et à leurs superviseurs en tout temps.  Lorsqu'ils s'expriment, ils doivent s'assurer de la faire de façon claire et concise.

Malheureusement, la plupart d'entre nous ne savent pas très bien écouter.  Nous pourrions, pour la plupart, améliorer nos communications si seulement nous écoutions mieux - écouter avec un esprit ouvert pour entendre le message de façon intégrale avant de tirer une conclusion et travailler en vue d'une compréhension mutuelle.  Trop souvent, nous laissons des distractions nous empêcher de consacrer toute notre attention à l'interlocuteur et nous laissons nos biais et nos préjugés servir de base à notre compréhension. Travailler à l'amélioration de nos communications organisationnelles nous permettra d'augmenter la confiance, réduire les problèmes et bâtir des relations interpersonnelles saines.

Communicating When Stakes are High

Communication is easy when the risks are low but when the stakes are high, effective communication may be difficult and challenging.

What is high stakes communication?

We believe high stakes communication takes several forms. In a government context, it could involve communicating the benefits of a new policy that is viewed negatively by the public. It can also include the communication of a government position to the media in a crisis or high-profile situation, or it could mean having exchanges with stakeholders who are not pleased with a change in policies or procedures related to project funding. Whenever there is an issue that is difficult or the focus of attention, communication can involve high stakes both for organizations and for the individuals who work in them.

In many government departments and agencies, the workforce is experiencing rapid change, becoming even more diverse, experiencing a growing rate of retirements, and witnessing the quick movement of individuals into management positions.

In the context of strengthening and enabling leadership and of investing in the career development of employees, Y2CP believes that departments and agencies may wish to focus on talent management:

  • expanding and strengthening the competencies of their employees; and
  • facilitating the development and empowerment of the leaders of today and tomorrow.

We believe that the focus of high stakes communications training and development should be based on the following objective:

  • to allow employees to further develop and diversify their skills and knowledge through a well structured, competency-based development process — whether it is to assist them to reach more senior level positions or to become even more skilled at their substantive levels.
