Employee communication is not only central to unlocking human talent for organizational purposes but also a worker’s right to improve their motivation and wellbeing. However, the digital era is changing the nature of jobs -well-illustrated during the COVID-19 pandemic-, which challenges organizations and management to engage people at work and motivate communication channel usage. Social technologies offer pioneering ways of eliciting voice and collaboration in information sharing that lend themselves to some sort of collective decision-making. This track aims to develop further the discussion about new forms of employee communication, voice, and their implications for traditional communication and (e)HR systems.
