Introduction:-
Deetz (2001) describes two ways of seeing and defining internal communications. The
most common approach focuses on internal communication as a “phenomenon that
exists in organizations”. In this view, the organization is a container in which
communication occurs. A second approach sees internal communication as “a way to
describe and explain organizations”. Here, communication is the central process through
employees share information, create relationships, make meaning and “construct”
organizational culture and values. This process is a combination of people, messages,
meaning, practices, and purpose and it is the foundation of modern organizations.
There are two major sources of communication: Formal sources and informal sources
Formal Sources:-
Informal Sources:-
“Your employees know you make more money than they do,” says Bloomington, Illinois,
HR consultant Rick Galbreath. “What they don’t understand is that you take more risk.
They won’t be able to understand the risk until they understand the business.”
Galbreath further states that it is essential for a supervisor to schedule at least 15 mins
meeting with co-workers or key people to check on their progress and identify
problems. It helps them to get connect better. This can be done one to one or group to
group depending on the necessity. Sometimes, a social gathering with family gives a
feeling to employees as if he is a part of the organization and helps them to perform
better. It is true that people do not work for institutions, they work for people, therefore,
the head of company/co-workers should create a mechanism to deal with their
problems and perceptions effectively and create a culture so that their performance
level goes up. They should influence co-workers.
It is important for an organization to know that their employees are heard of properly
otherwise they are the people who create another impression about an organization to
the prospective employee. Therefore organization should create a formal feedback
mechanism, hear their suggestions or complaints, reward feedback and check
management attitude and be the representative of an employee if they are on the right
side. Many companies failed because of their arrogant attitude towards their employees.
Though the employee in an organization works for a salary, but they need recognition,
rewards, appreciation and an environment where they can work hard and get the best
for an organization. Share with employee’s organization’s culture and capable leader’s
vision which will help them to perform better.
