When considering human centric change, the link between change, communication, and employee engagement is critical. For any change to be successful, employees need to understand the rationale, expectations, and implementation process. Effective communication fosters engagement by creating transparent feedback channels, making employees feel valued. When employees are engaged, they are more likely to embrace and adapt to changes, leading to higher morale and productivity.

We cover the importance of clear, effective writing for impact in professional settings. The interview identifies common writing challenges and offers strategies for improvement, including audience empathy and regular practice.
