6.1: Internal Communications Strategy

Develop an internal communications strategy to educate and engage employees on the impact and benefits of open government.

Other Information:

While much of the focus on the open government initiative has been to engage the public and make more and better information available, the underlying purpose is to rethink not only the expectations of government, but the expectations within government. Direct messaging will model open government principles and help to explain to employees what open government means to everyone at DOL. This will be carried out in a number of ways including: “Dear Colleague” emails from the Secretary, all-employee web chats, an elevator poster campaign, feature stories on LaborNet and FRANCES our employee E-Magazine, the organization of informal “meetups” and information sharing sessions, and Open Government town halls with each agency head and Departmental leadership. Timeline for Actions: Ongoing beginning April 2010
