STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
What is employee communication?
Employee communication is
often defined as the sharing
of information and ideas
between the management of
an organization and
employees and vice versa.
Why does employee
communication fails in an
organization?
1.Communication sometimes becomes
overwhelming.

Too many messages at the same time


can affect a person’s capability to
retain important information and let
go of unwanted things, this leads to
problems and gap between employee
and manager.

z
2.Inconsistency from the side of
leaders and fellow employees.

When there is not a proper flow


communication and messages it
becomes difficult to keep track of
anything at all.

z
3. Unclear directions

The most common reason in the failure of


communication is that there is not a proper
explanation of how and what should be done
by an employee.

z
4.Lack of Attention and Trust.

When an employee doesn’t give attention and is


not coherent with its speaker it creates a gap
between them which further creates distrust.

Trends in employee
communication

Remote working, enhanced employee


experience and an increased focus on
mental health and wellbeing. The
ongoing pandemic has forced HR
Leaders and Internal Communicators
to readjust their priorities for 2021.
1. Remote Work Is Here To Stay

In 2021, employee communication apps are set to become


commonplace in businesses. They enable measurable and retargetable
communications, from a verified and centralized multi-channel
platform. Looking Forward: Being able to reach employees instantly
and wherever they’re working is crucial to ensure dispersed employees
feel connected and stay engaged.
2. Employee Experience Becomes Top Of Mind For
Business Leaders

The pandemic has affected all employees in very different


and specific ways. Some people are thriving, while others
aren’t. In 2021, Employee experience must become more
targeted and tailored to meet the diverse needs of
employees.

Looking Forward: Offering the best employee experience


will be essential in attracting and retaining the best talent in
a rapidly changing work environment.
3. The Digital
Workplace Has
Arrived

• Businesses are finding digital


communication is the answer. Internal
communicators are moving away from
traditional modes of communication and
using digital channels to meet the needs of
an always-connected instant access
environment. Using the right
communication channels for what you’re
communicating is crucial.

• Looking Forward: Sophisticated digital


internal communication tools, and aligning
communication channels with messaging
needs, are vital to achieve cut-through in
an increasingly complex digital workplace.
4. More Emphasis On Employee
Wellbeing And Mental Health

It is predicted that in 2021, every company that reopens will


become a healthcare company, as employers seek to protect
employees.

Unclear Objectives

Lack of Empowerment

Limited Collaboration
Reasons for
Poor Employee
Lack of Professionalism
communication
Technological Discomfort

Poor Management
INDEPTH
Unclear Objectives
Most modern companies operate from a
top-down structure. The executive team
makes big-picture decisions, the
management team determines how they
should carry those decisions out, and the
employees do the work to meet
management’s objectives. But what
happens when the objectives aren’t clear?

Lack of Empowerment
Employees who are empowered aren’t afraid to
speak up about obstacles or setbacks
Limited Collaboration
Teams work better when they can collaborate on projects and
share ideas. They have ownership in the process and can feel
proud of the project they created. 

Lack of Professionalism
Many workplace misunderstandings come from mixing
personal and professional life. Teams often become so
comfortable with each other that they become comfortable
talking about more personal issues that would normally be
appropriate at work.
Technological Discomfort
The modern workplace has gone through many technological changes
in the last half-century. Some hires are often quick to adapt to
changing systems, while other employees may be reluctant to change
how they work.

Poor Management
Sometimes the cause is as simple as a hiring issue.
SOLUTIONS

•Use The Right Communication Tools


The first step to overcoming communication problems in
the workplace is by making sure you have the appropriate
infrastructure in place for healthy communication.

•Focus On Consistency
The delivery method for communicating with all
employees should be the best for effectively and efficiently
conveying the meaning of the message.

•Don’t Mix Work and Personal Communication


Some employees tend to mix personal lives into the
workplace communications..
Listen, It’s The Golden Rule
Listening skills are crucial to effectively communicating and understanding what is being
shared

Communication Is A Two-Way Street


The manager should not be the one to do all the talking. Going off of our last point, it is vital
to build and foster two-way relationships with your team.

Follow Through
When you share information, be sure to follow through to ensure everyone is aligned.

Recognition And Positivity


Avoid communication issues in the workplace by recognizing employees who are doing a
great job, it will easily help them to go the extra mile.
