There are many ways in which companiescan inprove communication. I will be listing 3 of them.
 Regular staff meetings provide an opportunity for employees and managers to collectively discuss issues related to ongoing
business operations.
 One – on – One : Some communication is more appropriately discussed in a one-on-one setting between a manager and
an employee. This includes issues related to discipline, complaints, conflict resolution, and compensation and benefits.
Additionally, one-on-one meetings between managers and employees give each party the opportunity to privately discuss
personal goals, objectives.
 Open door policy : An "open-door policy" describes a manager-employee relationship in which the employee has an open,
standing invitation to approach the manager with questions, concerns, complaints and comments at any time. This
management approach lets employees know their concerns are valued and that the manager is always available and willing
to communicate. This management style can have a positive impact on morale and employee performance.
