How to Overcome Communication Barriers of Employees in Diversified Working Environments – A Case study of Sainsbury PLC (2015)
Communication Barriers Of Employees Dissertation – Human resource is the most valuable asset for a company to operate and continue its business activities successfully. Even though a business organisation has other resources such as money, material and machines, its business operations cannot be continued without utilising its human resources efficiently and effectively. Hence, human resource management mainly concentrate on how to plan, organise, direct and monitor human resource of an organization effectively and efficiently by which goals and objectives of the company can be achieved.
In general, employees of an organisation should work together to achieve a particular target. It can be seen that human resource is only resource that cannot be fully controlled by an organisation. Thus they have to be used very carefully to get benefits to the organisation while giving benefits to employees. To do so, they should have an efficient and effective communication system so as to coordinate their duties and responsibilities among each and every employee within the organisation.
Because of the continuous changes that happen in external and internal business environment, behaviours of employees and technology used to communicate information among employees have been changing over the last years. These changes have created many advantages as well as communication barriers between employees of an organisation in a diversified environment. Accordingly, this research has been conducted to investigate about how to overcome communication barriers in a diversified environment.
Communication barriers can occur due to different religious, languages and cultures of an organization. Sainsbury PLC has a variety of cultures, languages and religious among its employees as it recruit employees from different religious as well as different countries. As a result, Sainsbury PLC should deal with such differences by overcoming communications barriers among employees, so as to utilise its human resources efficiently and effectively within its diversified environment. Hence, it is interesting to see about how Sainsbury PLC can overcome such communication barriers within its diversified environment.
