In the nearest future, SUBR JSC (regional bauxite producer, part of SUAL Group) will launch Dialogue, an intranet communication system. The company’s GD Viktor Radko has already issued the corresponding order. The system includes setting up of an around-the-clock telephone number. One can now leave a notice concerning any disturbing questions via voice mail. The company is also going to install special mailboxes in all of its subdivisions. Any employee will be permitted to transfer his or her questions to the company’s top management via the mailboxes.

The introduction of the Dialogue system was prompted by the results of some sociological investigations carried out by the corporate experts throughout 2005-2006. The investigations revealed a number of organizational problems effected by the management not getting enough feedback from workers.

The information obtained via the telephone and the mailboxes is to be viewed at least once in a ten days by a special working team consisting of personnel managers, NGO and mass media representatives. The team will analyze the information and submit the answers to the received questions through the corporate newspaper. This was reported to UrBC representative by the company’s PR-director Roman Lukichev.
