Strategies for Effective Communication and Collaboration
Richard Pope, Steadpoint Insurance Group
Communication is essential for achieving organizational goals. Effective communication can improve teamwork, productivity, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Communication can also be challenging, especially in today’s complex and diverse business environment. This makes communication even more important and requires that we learn and apply communication strategies that can help connect us better with our teams and other stakeholders. This session will look at some of these communication strategies. We will discuss where texting, webexing, zooming, and MS teaming fit in our modern premium audit world with a younger and changing workforce.
