Whenever the information needs to be used quickly, the manager uses the informal or grapevine
method instead of taking it to formal channels such as emails. Grapevine also accelerates the
feedback process. If used wisely, grapevine communication can provide valuable feedback to
the management, and this input can be used to plan activities for the employees’
welfare. Though grapevine provides innumerable utilities to the organization, still it is not free
from defects. Therefore, managers should try to use grapevine in a way so that the organization
can take the highest benefits from it.
