Preparations for the meeting

The Communications Manager:

- I don't really understand why there are so many complaints about the internal communication.
- I think all vital information is published in the magazine, but maybe we have to consider modern means of communication such as intranet and screens on every floor. I also think we have to involve the employees more with the company.

In my opinion we should change the president's picture at the cover, because:

- If we're going to use pictures of employees than they might feel more relevant for the organization.
- We have to make the magazine nicer for employees. We have to make them feel important. How:
* Employees might be more interested in articles about the workers inside instead of news about the company structure and production methods.

- Employees might feel unappreciated if they can't find themselves back in the magazine. They want to read about things which are important to them. They don't really want to read about the production and structure. That's not relevant to them.
