 |  Adam Gerstein | Mark Donohue, IRC | Mike Conway | Debbie Belevan, CPA, IRC |

Engaged employees are a critical component to drive shareholder value, yet this is sometimes overlooked by IROs.  This session will explore ways for IROs to connect their work more directly with employee communications during times of change (M&A, activism, leadership succession) and the normal course of business (earnings reporting).  Learn best practices for leveraging your IR role and know-how to have an impact with internal stakeholders.   

Learning Objectives: 
  • Learn how to bridge the gap between IR and Employee Communications to collaborate in ways that create a more engaged and educated workforce 
  • Get actionable ideas for building processes to align internal communications to maximize effectiveness and eliminate confusion or inappropriate disclosures
  • Hear real-world examples of IROs that act as internal partner and consultative leader with other key internal functional area leads to create clear, consistent communications
