Miscommunications in the workplace
Miscommunications in the workplace 1Tanner Dewald: Miscommunications in the WorkplaceMiscommunications in the WorkplaceTanner DewaldGB 312 Business CorrespondenceMs. Michelle MacDonaldTexas AM University- Central Texas4/20/13Dear Ms. MacDonald:Recently we have had two of our retailers contact us with problems regarding shipments they have received or have failed to receive. I know this is not the first time this has happened but I would like to minimize the possibilities of it happening again. It seems the root of our problem is miscommunication in the workplace. As a shipping manager that has seen this kind of issue before in past work experiences and I believe I know what we can do to solve our breakdown in communication between the various departments, retailers, and co-workers. As CFO I know you will see this proposal can benefit the company both financially and operationally.First, I propose that the company implement a required form of communication.McGraw-Hill's 1990s logoI believe hand written notes are a thin g of the past and that we should upgrade our communication requirements to electronic mail. If we had an e-mail only policy we could have record of all communication on file without the risk of losing a post-it note. E-mail also includes the option of a read receipt, which allows the user to know when the receiver has opened and read the message or if they have not seen the message yet and another form of communication, such as a phone call, might be required to meet a deadline. The policy might also include that all e-mails must receive a reply no matter how simple the message. I can head a short meeting at the end of the day to cover the implementation of this plan. The idea here is to eliminate hand written notes as well as informal communication...
