Event topics

How to effectively communicate sensitive information

Learn to pinpoint the right time and way to talk to your people about harsh topics like layoffs or hiring freezes, avoiding unwanted tensions and dreaded rumors.

You'll receive a checklist covering the pre- and post-announcement steps. It will help you to determine when is too early and when is too late to communicate.

What to include in your communication and what to leave off

Raised some investments, acquired (or lost) a major customer, or the new policy is about to roll out? Get clarity on how to shape your message, find the right tone for both positive and negative events and guide your team to amplify the news.

Vira, Maria, Ann and Olena will focus on big announcements, but you'll be able to use the processes they outline at any scale of communication.

Bonus: get a communication plan for your toughest announcement

Effective communication is essential to organizational success.

Have some upcoming events in your company you're not sure how to manage? Anonymously submit them, and our expert panel will craft a mini-plan and talk through the best approach.

The event will be valuable for HRs and other professionals responsible for communication — especially in challenging situations and during organizational changes.

Speakers

Vira Suarez
Co-founder and strategist at Do All Write
Vira is a detective at heart — finding the pieces and putting them together. It's a skill set that she's applied in professional settings from the analytical world of commercial real estate appraising, to the world of marketing and communication.

At Do All Write, she's used that combination to help shape brands like VOOL and create employer branding strategies for quickly scaling startups, including Glia.
Maria Magdaleena Lamp
Co-founder and content writer at Do All Write
Maria loves words, and wrangling them is one of her greatest joys. While she's tamed tomes' worth of words, she's particularly proud of that one time she sent a cold recruitment email to a recruiter who said it was the best one he'd ever seen.

Maria has also written copy for award-winning country branding campaigns including Skip 2020 for Work in Estonia, and the content for Estonia's official relocation guide for expats.
