One of the great benefits of the AACE Awards (Annual Awards for Communications Excellence, more info here - http://www.esopassociation.org/resources/resources_AACE.asp) is that they provide ideas and examples of communications practices taking place in the ESOP community. 

 

Several companies this year included in their entries information about company to company events they held as part of their ongoing communications efforts. They reached out to ESOP companies in their area and simply asked them over for a visit. Some of the meetings involved a tour of company’s facilities, a meeting of employee owners, and in some instances, a barbeque.

 

Have you done this at your company? If so, what were the results?
