Training
Structured training meets collaborative workshops and peer networking
The NCEO is back with our flagship communications committee training and networking program in August 2024. Whether you are just getting started or trying to get back on track, this training program will offer communications committees from companies of all shapes and sizes a way to learn, engage, and network with others in the employee ownership community.
Four separate training sessions will cover topics such as learning to develop an effective communications strategy, discussing common challenges and mistakes, creating alignment with company leadership, and improving employee engagement strategies for the long term.
This course's revamped format will prepare both seasoned and novice communications committees to thrive in your employee-owned company.
Each Session will feature:
45 minutes of facilitator-led learning
30 min peer breakout session
15-minute wrap-up discussion/ Q&A
The Communications Committee Crash Course will run on Wednesdays from August 7 - 28, 2024 at 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. Contact the NCEO's director of education, Lindsay Isaac ([email protected]) for more information.
