4.0 Communication Channels in the Workplace

 

 

4.1      Emails

In our workplace the emails are a way to send and receive the information between the employees.  In my section which is the workshop, when the head manager want to inform us about something such as the new projects. He sends an email to our supervisor and then the supervisor prints copies of the email and give it to the operators.

I think we can improve this way if the supervisor forwards the email which sent by the manager to the operators emails directly.  He will be sure that everyone has a copy of the email and the he also did not waste paper anymore.  

 

 

4.2      Newspapers and Televisions

Some time in my workplace, the Human recourse Department is publishing advertisements in the newspapers about the available jobs.  The advertisements include the job titles, the workplace, the requirements, the salary and the benefits.   It is good way to attract the employees to the company.  However they have to pay money for the newspaper.

The HR Department can get better results of these advertisements.  They can do advertisements and then display them in the televisions.  This kind of advertisements will reach to more people even outside the country.  This advertisement costs more money.  However, they will get better results.

4.3      Meetings and Telephones

In my workplace, some time the head manager asks the supervisor of the work shop to meet together in the meetings room.  Mostly, the both of them meet and nobody else joins them.  The manager most of the time set the solutions of the problems and give feedback about the operators’ jobs and other information related the work and its performance. These meetings even they are very important but they affect the performance of the work in the workshop because the supervisor stays longtime outside the workshop.  The operators need the supervisor to guide them to do the jobs in best way.

We can improve this way of communication easily.  It is not necessary for the manager to meet the supervisor face to face.  The manager can shorten the time and distance by using the telephone.  The manager will speak with the supervisor using the telephone.  The supervisor has to write the important notes in t a sheet and he still in his office beside the operators.
