The class did a great job in discussing a communication audit. The discussion was focused on communication audits and the tools that are used to perform an audit. From the several posts, surveys and focus group were indicated to not be so effective. The reason behind this is that not all employees participate in surveys and they don't represent a good cross-section of the employee population. When surveys are sent many of them are not taken seriously and employees just want to finish with them so they can get back to their everyday work. Focus groups on the other hand tends to turn employees into venting issues they are having with the organization rather then what the organization can do to become better. To be successful in a communication audit, it is important for senior leadership to encourage full participation of employee engagement. For employees to take part in the audit, there needs to be trust with leadership and to have a relationship with them. It is important to listen to employees on what techniques would be the most beneficial to communicate with the organization.
