Improving Communications
One of the top actions on our "improve employee relations – work environment list" is improving communication. Our fellow employees have created a communications EIT and are actively working a list of recommendations to improve communications.
One of the actions is already up and running, The DTW Today website and my blog. A great tool to keep you updated on whats going on and to keep you in the loop. Also, coming to DTW very soon will be that “all” employees will have their own e mail address. With this, we are working on making computers more accessible to our ESEs. Hussein Berry and his team are finalizing the plan to create an employee work area across from our Employee Support Center (old Adman) that will have additional computers available to support your access needs. And we are working with Informational Services to ensure all Ready Rooms have computers. More info will be coming out soon from Hussein and our EIT communications team.
Technology and computers are great tools to assist in the communications process, but nothing beats good old American face to face time. The DTW leadership team and myself, recognize that we need to commit to scheduled employee meetings and increase our time just walking around and stopping into break rooms. I think some of our leaders do a great job spending time in their busy day to meet with their employees, and I know it’s important to you, so we all have to do a better job in this area.
One commitment we will make is having quarterly Town Meeting with all employees. These meetings will be in addition to the supervisor and leads meetings your directors are currently having. The first Town Hall meeting will be next week and will include a 30 – 40 minute presentation and then time for open questions and answers. More info to follow.
I know there are always questions and rumors out there, no need to wait for a scheduled meeting, please feel free to contact your department manager, director or myself and we will do our best to help clarify things.
Thanks,
Thanks,
Mark

Fair comment, its all about action and results. mark
if you want to improve relations, give us our money back. you take away saying we are bankrupt..... but then spend tons of money on garbage like this and expect us to jump for joy? how about my free insurance back? that would go a long way to mend relations...

glad to see people are reading and posting on the blog. A successful NWA plans on sharing the profits with the employees so money will be coming back. Also your claim has and will continue to pay a return. Thanks for your comments, Mark
