We offer the following services:
Communication Planning
Sometimes the hardest part of communicating with employees is getting started. We can help you define your audience, message, and objectives and use that information to create a strategic plan, including measuring the results of your final product.
Writing
Writing about benefits and compensation requires specialized knowledge—not just understanding how plans work, but why they work as they do. We know benefits and compensation. We know government laws and regulations. We know how employees think and feel about plans and programs. All that knowledge, combined with an understanding of your company's environment, culture, and business strategy, add up to effective writing.
Editing
Oftentimes, effective communication means editing exisiting materials. We can help. As technical editors, we can edit for new plan provisions or new laws; as communicators, we can edit for style, tone, or consistency.
Intranet/Internet Consulting
As Intranet/Internet use expands and becomes more sophisticated, we can help you create (or modify) communications that make the most of this exciting new medium which can actually reduce your long-term communication expenses. Contact us to find out how!
Production Management
How and when communication is produced can have an enormous impact on a project's success (and budget!). We can help you identify the most effective production method(s), contract with vendors (typesetters, graphic artists, printers, etc.), and/or manage the cost, timing, and quality of your project.
Proofreading
At its most basic level, proofreading means identifying typographical errors. Equally as important—and often overlooked—is a thorough read to ensure consistent use of terminology and typography. We have experience in all aspects of proofreading and can help make your communications more reader-friendly and professional.
Web Development
Maybe you want to use the web to communicate with your employees, but don't know where to start. Or maybe you want to integrate a new benefits and compensation site with an exisiting internal site. We can help with the planning, writing, graphics, and even coding to create or modify a site to meet your needs and objectives.
