Communications Committee Crash Course
Celebrating employee ownership means recognizing the value that every team member brings to the table. It’s about creating a workplace where collaboration thrives, where contributions are valued, and where everyone shares in the rewards of success.
The NCEO's flagship communications committee training and networking program returns in the Fall of 2025! This course's revamped format will prepare both seasoned and novice communications committees to thrive in their employee-owned companies. Each session will feature 45 minutes of facilitator-led learning, a 30-minute peer breakout session, and 15 minutes of wrap-up discussion/Q&A. Below are the topics that will be covered each week. Please note: The communications committee crash course is only open to employee-owned companies. Any service provider firms, even if employee-owned, will have their registration canceled and refunded.
Week 1: An Introduction to ESOP Committees and How to Get Started (or Rethink Your Current Committee Structure)
Week 2: Effective Communication Strategies for ESOP Understanding
Week 3: Using ESOP and Business Literacy to Help Employee-Owners Connect the Dots
Week 4: Leadership and Committee Alignment
You can earn up to 6 hours of SHRM credit for attending all four Fall Crash Course live sessions.
As we celebrate employee ownership, let’s remember: when your employees succeed, the whole company succeeds. Don't miss this opportunity to enrich your committee's skills and connect with your peers in the employee ownership community. See you online later this year.
