Improving communication within organisations
Posted on 09 March, 2023 at 15:02
One of
the main causes of uncertainty and poor planning in many businesses is a lack
of good communication. Do you agree? Strikes and lockouts are reduced and
organizational relationships are improved by effective communication. When
communication is ineffective, organizational objectives and goals might
occasionally be defeated. Communication breakdowns have resulted in waste and
costly errors.
This is
due to the fact that managers rely on communication as a source of information
when making decisions that have an impact on the performance of the business. A
manager's ability to communicate is essential for both making decisions and
conveying to others the outcomes and intentions of those actions.
In most
firms, managers prioritize achieving goals and assume that the human resources
department will play a key role in effective communication. The free flow of
information that helps personnel understand this information is hampered as a
result. Because the provision of necessary requirements in terms of adequate
and accurate information regarding the organization and their responsibilities
to be fulfilled can improve performance, the contribution of employees to jobs
is the most significant component for development and excellence in the
organization.
Recommendations
Every
organization must have effective communication in order to succeed. Performance
within an organisation typically suffers from ineffective communication.
According to the findings, the largest obstacles to communication are
management practices and workplace strife. It has also been proven that good
communication affects how well a company performs. As a result, the following
suggestions were made:
·
Communication and conflict management training must
be given to all employees to address common problems.
·
Timely delivery of information from management must
be practiced which reduces pressure on employees.
·
A review can be carried out to determine if management styles and
employees attitudes affect effective communication in organizations.
·
Feedback must be encouraged to ensure that there is
understanding from both management and employees regarding tasks, goals, objectives.
