FOUR COMMON CHALLENGES:
One of the most interesting things about Tribe’s business is that we see very different companies in wildly
different industries—from apparel brands to cement manufacturers to philanthropic organizations—all
struggling with some of the exact same challenges in internal communications. Here are four we’ve seen
a lot of lately:

EMAIL OVERLOAD

REACHING EMPLOYEES WITHOUT COMPUTERS

Are your employees complaining about too much
email? We see many companies where inboxes are
chronically overfilled, requiring an unreasonable amount
of employees’ time each day. The inevitable result is
that they miss important messages and waste time on
many that are not even relevant to them. Tribe develops
training and materials for a more disciplined approach to
email that can significantly increase productivity.

How do you reach all those non-desk employees who aren’t
sitting in front of a computer all day? Tribe has a special
expertise, based on both national research and client
experience, with the communication needs of employees on
the manufacturing line or the retail floor, in the field or on
the road.

HELPING MANAGERS CASCADE INFORMATION
Are managers in your company charged with cascading
information from corporate down to their teams? Employees
routinely cite two issues with that method: consistency
of message and timeliness of delivery. Tribe builds
communication toolkits and training to help managers
deliver the right message more easily and effectively.

CONNECTING EMPLOYEES AND LEADERSHIP
Do employees at your company have a channel for sharing
questions, concerns or ideas with your executive leadership?
Do employees hear about the company vision from those at
the top? Tribe develops two-way communication that can
build trust in leadership and boost employee engagement.
