Most of the organizations in spite of having a well-defined vision and mission statement and having the appropriate leadership team , fails in engaging with people due to the lack of an effective communication channel .
Training sessions , memos , newsletters , FAQs , and regular meetings can all be used to present the company ’ s vision to its employees .
