2-1 Discussion: Effective Communications

/in /by

Reflect on your work experience or research recent news articles about organizational communication. Identify a situation where you think an organization or brand may have miscommunicated a message to its employees or other stakeholders. Perhaps management made a change in processes and did not communicate the change or the reason for the change to employees at all levels. When describing the scenario, identify the specific problems and issues that should be addressed with communications, and explain why the issue is substantial enough to warrant communications.

ScenarioYou are the Director of Organizational Development for a company that recently was evaluated by a consulting firm. This firm was hired to examine the overall health of the organization and its likelihood of achieving its strategic goals in the next five years. The consultants reported to the CEO that while the organization is in good shape overall, they believed that the desired values and behavior for employees were not reflected in the organization fully. The consultants concluded that one area to improve is the total rewards system because evidence demonstrated that it was not reflective of the organization’s mission, values, or strategy.As a result, the CEO has directed you to create a plan to revise the current total rewards system to ensure it better aligns with the company’s strategic objectives. You are aware that gaining employee involvement and buy-in is a critical component of any successful change initiative. Therefore, as part of the assessment stage of this initiative, you create a questionnaire to gain employee perspectives about the current total rewards system.Additionally, you also realize the importance of gathering leadership perspectives about the current total rewards system and whether it appropriately supports the organization’s mission, vision, and overall strategy. Therefore, you also create a questionnaire to gain leadership’s insight.
