Barry should consider the following solutions to the identified barriers and ;
a) Language barrier: Several potential solutions can be discussed here, including
posting signs in the employee’s primary language. Set up visual signage, not
just text. Barry can learn a few simple words in the employee’s primary
language to help show interest in employees.
c) Cultural and ethnic barriers: Barry may need to identify cultural beliefs and
work to understand ethnic barriers related to food security. For example, two
employees would are from the same country and they commented that
temperature checks in their country are not preferred; food can stay at room
temperature for a long time and nothing will happen.
The communication flow I would suggest Barry to Implement in his workplace is the
Upward Communication flow. The Communication that flows to a higher level in an
organization is called upward communication. It provides feedback on how well the
organization is functioning. The subordinates use upward communication to convey
their problems and performances to their superiors.
The subordinates also use upward communication to tell how well they have
understood the downward communication. It can also be used by the employees to
share their views and ideas and to participate in the decision-making process.
Grievance address System, Complaint and Suggestion Box, Job Satisfaction surveys
etc all help in improving upward communication. Other examples of Upward
Communication are -performance reports made by low level management for
reviewing by higher level management, employee attitude surveys, letters from
employees, employee-manager discussions etc.
