PROBLEM

All organizations have communication challenges. How do you identify
and address these issues as a HR professional or consultant? How can
your organization overcome this challenge and improve the communication
flow?

In this project, you will use a diagnostic tool called a communication audit in order to assess organizational communication within an organization of your choice.

STEPS

  1. Administer the communication audit survey in
    your organization. In order to obtain valid results, you want to survey
    between 15-20 people. You may print out the survey and distribute it in
    person for completion, or you may administer it online, for example,
    using Survey Monkey or Google Forms.
    The survey includes questions that tap into five different areas of
    organizational communication: (1) Receiving information from others, (2)
    Sending information to others, (3) Sources of information, (4)
    Timeliness of information, and (5) Channels of communication. Within
    these five areas of organizational communication, identify one major
    area of concern to address based on the responses from the survey.
  2. You will then analyze and synthesize the results of the data obtained from your audit effort and create your Audit Report using the format below.
  3. Based on the communication audit identify one critical communication
    challenge that needs to be addressed within your organization. Research
    the scholarly literature for recommendations about how the organization
    can address this issue.
  4. Participate in the discussions by reflecting on your work and sharing feedback with others in the class.
  5. Create and deliver a presentation that provides the results of your
    audit with suggestions for improvement based on the data obtained from
    the audit and the literature on organizational communication.

FORMAT

Audit Report:

Present an introduction that describes your research methodology and
provides details of the survey administration, response rate, and
characteristics of the survey population.

Develop a professionally-written narrative in which you describe the
data using appropriate tables, charts, and graphs. Include a detailed
analysis followed by a summary of your findings, using the example in
the “Collecting and Analyzing Data” file below. Identify the top
communication challenge from your survey, and present your
recommendations to strengthen this communication challenge, based on the
scholarly literature. In the appendix, present the survey questions and
the responses for each question.

Presentation:

Your presentation should be professional and creative. Adding audio
and/or visual elements on the slides is highly recommended. Text should
be the proper size for viewing during a presentation. Your presentation
will need title and citation slides. You must have a minimum of 3
reliable sources in your citations. Use APA format for the in-text
citations you use to support your arguments. Don’t forget to check your
spelling! As a friendly reminder, all words must be yours and your own
typing. You may not copy text directly from a source

You may use presentation software of your choice. Examples include
(but are not limited to): MS Powerpoint, Prezio, Animoto, GoAnimate

PLEASE NOTE: Your presentation software should not
incur any costs. You are responsible for understanding how to use the
software. You will need to submit your work in a format that can be
easily opened by your colleagues and the instructor.
