How can communication be effective in
an institution and organization?
Communication as described is the imparting or
exchanging of information by speaking, writing or with
the use of other medium. It plays a fundamental role in
the development of both an institution and an
organization. It also plays a critical role in improving
the relations and maintaining the processes that sustain
the institution and organization. Some strategies include
seeking input from constituents, providing feedback,
safeguarding credibility, maintaining consistency, and
listening to employees.
Effective Communication can contribute to institutional
and organization success in many ways such as:
• Building employee’s morale
• Builds employee’s satisfaction and agreement
• Helps employees understand and educate certain terms and
conditions of their employment
• Drives commitment, trust and loyalty
• Gives employees a voice-which is an important facet in improving
their satisfaction
• Helps lessen misunderstandings and potentially reduces grievances
and lawsuits
• Improves processes and procedures
• Helps build interpersonal and interdepartmental relationships
• Fosters Positive, healthy relationships with co-workers
In conclusion, if communication is not
effective, it will consequently lead to the
collapse of the organization or institution.
The members must engage in effective
communication to properly channel the flow
of ideas within the organizational body and
transcend barriers that hamper its growth.
