HR Communication Lesson: Getting Compliments
Posted on Friday, June 26, 2009 by Frank RocheHere’s what I know about HR communication: It takes 100x more energy to send in a compliment than a complaint.
When you send out communications, you’ll always hear people bitch about it. But know that if people say good things about what you’ve done, that’s communication gold.

Frank – on a similar note, I’ve started to make a habit of sending off compliment emails to people’s bosses (CCing them) when they do great things. So much of HR can be dealing with the things people do wrong, and I think it’s really helpful to reinforce the positive, too!

@Chris…that is so good…and the right thing to do. Saying nice things is free, but not without an effort. Makes me smile to think of it.
