PAIBOC Analysis of the Communication Situation
P- What is your purpose?
The purpose of the message is to understand telecommuting per se the benefits for both of employees and the organization; the downsides with respect to the personnel operating from home. The objective is to understand how to strike a balance between working from the office and from home to benefit all involved.
A -- What is your target audience?
This communication addresses all personnel and workforces of Yippee, specifically those working from home.

Another objection would be the assertion that the company is bound to experience more losses through an increase in commuting time of the personnel, the carbon footprint and also poor retention rates. One of the ways to address these objections is simply to give the personnel a chance to communicate their perceptions, have dialogue regarding the benefits and disadvantages of teleworking and thereafter striking a balance regarding the best way forward.
C - What aspects of the context or situation might affect audience response?
Allowing the personnel to communicate their standpoints and perspectives as to how both staff and Yippee are bound to benefit and go through might have an impact on the audience's positive response on the action undertaken.
