Organizational Communication
Interview Overview -- Management in Health Care
For the purposes of this assignment, I interviewed an individual at a local hospital, to ask them, from a management perspective, what the challenges were in the present health care industry. Overall, when assured of confidentiality, the individual responded to me that health care presents some of the most difficult emotional and practical challenges, from a management perspective, for any management-level administrator. One of the most difficult organizational communication challenges is negotiating the completely different perspectives of the health care professionals in the arena of care, such as the doctors and nurses, with individuals at the hospital primarily concerned with cutting costs and fulfilling administrative, rather than care giving functions.
However, even doctors, nurses, and other practitioners primarily concerned with care can be at odds amongst themselves. In today's cost-cutting environment, nurses are often called upon to perform the tasks of doctors. This can cause anger on the part of the doctors, and also anger on the part of the nurses who believe that their diagnostic and treatment capabilities are not accorded enough respect. Also, physician's assistants are increasingly asked to fulfill the functions of nurses, which causes organizational conflict, as well as the fact that physician assistants are asked to perform, quite often, the tasks of aids, despite their job description. Mediation and an adequate counseling and human resource staff has provided some relief.
Additional challenges for staff members relate to the increasingly arcane referral system at local hospitals, which are often misunderstood by both patients and caregivers. It is often tempting for individuals responsible for the financial management of the hospital to sacrifice care, to preserve budgetary needs and constraints, and it is often tempting for physicians and nurses to attempt to circumvent the hospital protocols of insurance referrals, in the interest of preserving the best care for patients, but putting the hospital at financial and legal risk. Communication between different arms of the hospital is essential in meeting these challenges. Frequent staff meetings to keep doctors and nurses abreast of the often arcane language of the insurance industry, and of the budgetary and public relations state of the hospital is just as necessary as keeping other budgetary and administrative members aware of the changes and challenges in the health care field.
Organizational Communication: Success and Failure Communication with others is an essential and necessary thing everywhere. Students have to communicate with their teachers and classmates and employees have to communicate with their clients and boss. There are many factors that affect how communication goes (American Psychological Association, 2013). The purpose of this essay is a reflection of the successes and failures of real-life organizational communication. The focus will be on a work
Organizational Communications and Trust At the foundation of any successful organization and its communication practices, systems and procedures is a very solid foundation of authenticity, transparency and trust. These three elements must pervade a corporate culture in order for it to attain a high level of performance and continued growth in turbulent times (Birasnav, Rangnekar, Dalpati, 2011). The highest performing companies have created a culture that celebrates and actively promotes organizational
Moreover, they treat the employees with a tremendous amount of respect and look for their input. "Participative leaders allow employees to have input into the organization's decision-making processes" (Ryckman, 2011). Liza and Samuel treat all of their employees as if they are valued. However, the one area where Sammy's Sammies may need to improve in the participative leadership arena is in the treatment of the child-employees. While other employees'
Organizational Communications Operational Reporting Operational reporting is a key part to the every day grind of a business. It helps the flow of daily operations while providing fast and reliable reports of day-to-day activities.

Organizational Communication Management of Organizational Behavior-Leading Human Resources Organizational Communication: Leadership Communication -- to the organization No communication or group interaction where information is transmitted, whether via one individual to another worker, between members of a work group, or even from a founding CEO to his or her larger organization, begins with an immediate sense of trust and rapport. Rather, just as at a social party, there is an icebreaking period, followed by
China, India, and Nigeria have all had difficult relations with the West. But the examples of Bank of America and Wal-Mart show that a nation can put the past behind, if there are sufficient economic incentives to do so, and if the existing organization capitalizes on local strengths, such as a need for jobs, profitable wages for both the local population and the outside organization, and the desire for foreign
