Communication Plan
In a situation as is with the case study where there are plans to have cooperation among more health care institutions and even mergers, there is need to have a clear communication plan and one that would be effective in that case. Being that these institutions that will henceforth work under one command system and administration, there is absolute need to ensure that the communication plan is implemented in time, the change in communication plan in line with the mergers is well funded, adequate training of employees to ensure the change is implemented, quality leadership is provided for in the change in communication channels and the communication fortifies the achievement of each department.

Effective marketing tools will be used to communicate new mergers and cooperation that will be foremed among the various parties involved. The target audience, which are majorly divided into the clients and the internal staff, will first…...

The Board of Directors, shareholders, Hans Baumwolleh (CEO), the Senior Management Team, Human Resources and the Sales department will need customized messages as well.

Engaging management from all levels will be essential to the success of the company plan in reaching the goals and objectives as they are stated. To achieve that success will take communication between all parties, all individuals and all departments. Communication, therefore, is essential to the overall success of the company. Management will play a key role in that communicating, and will need to remember that not all employees see things in the exact same way as management does. It is crucial that a positive tone be carried through in all correspondence (whether written or verbal) especially in regards to the company's new goals, objectives and direction.

Management will play a crucial role in the success or failure of this new direction, and will be advised to maintain…...

Proper communication is the backbone of any organization. Effective communication will ensure that management of all departments is cohesive and that everyone is on the same page, working towards common goals, at all times. Successful communication versus shoddy communication can often be the decisive factor between a company that meets its goals and one that doesn’t. While most professionals might be able to identify what effective communication within an organization looks like, it can be more difficult to develop it from the ground up, through a range of departments. This paper will discuss a specific communication designed expressly to ensure that all branches and departments of a single organization are all on the same page. For the purposes of this paper, the communication plan in question will be the same for all departments: this will ensure that confusions and miscommunications occur at a minimum. Furthermore, the more effective a communication plan…...

Change model for Wal-Mart
H professionals are agents who initiate change and will help define the change. As they define the importance of the change, H professionals must build an emotional and compelling case for change. The case for change usually stems from evidence that successful change will lead to positive organizational and personal outcomes. In order to achieve this at Wal-Mart, H professionals must embrace the continuous change model. This will help them gather support for the change by engaging key people to contribute to the change process. Studies indicate that if people participate in the change process, there will be less resistance to change. In the case of Wal-Mart, change leaders must be patient and allow much employee participation in the change process. At Wal-Mart, this continuous change is linked to the concept of organizational culture. Wal-Mart's culture will assume a critical part in continuous change as it…...

Multicultural Class
Intercultural Communication Plan for a Multicultural Class

The education field provides many unique challenges to educators and learners. Teachers have to deal with student absenteeism, tardiness, classroom management, creation of learning plans, and many other issues in creating a safe comfortable environment for learners to thrive in (Nissman, 2000). Today's globalized society has enabled populations to be filled with diversity. The modern teacher and learner must strive to overcome and conquer the challenges of diversity in the classroom. The profession of teaching is a challenge in itself, but the inclusion of English Language Learners, physically and mentally disabled children, autistic learners, and behavioral issues, the challenges of teaching can become overwhelming and cause disturbances in the learning.

The demographics of the community are an important element that teachers must take time to explore to understand his or her learners better; communities lacking diversity still needs the teachers to have a keen…...

Trade Communication Plan
Play N. Trade Case Study

As the largest retail game distributor world wide, Play N. Trade has a lot on the line in terms of how it maintains the sanctity of its brand. The company makes most of its revenue through franchising, where it is dependent on the strategic relationship between its business partners to maintain brand integrity and customer respect. In order to best maintain the brand integrity, members of Play N. Trade find themselves tied to supervising their franchisees in order to ensure that quality of service and products remain high. This takes up a lot of time, effort, and resources on behalf of Play N. Trade. Approval for product acquisition must then slowly climb up a hierarchal chain, which often creates a lag in getting the product out to consumers. Adjusting its just-in-time system to a vendor managed inventory may help speed up product acquisition…...

Marketing Communications Plan for 5 Star Adventure Tours
Executive Overview

The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) defines ecotourism as "Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people" (2005, p.3). Ecotourism has become the fastest growing segment of the global tourism industry, the largest sector in the world economy. Because climate is one of the main drivers of international tourism, with the majority of tourists seeking to relax in the sun or snow, climate change is expected to have a significant impact on international tourism, and therefore on ecotourism.

This marketing communication plan details marketing plans for 5 Star Adventure Tours, www.5staradventure.com.au, consistently ranked among the top five tour operators in Australia, and an accredited Advanced Eco Tourism Operator. The marketing plan also discusses the size of the global tourist and ecotourist markets, which have been experiencing record growth during the last decade. Given the occurrence of…...

"As such, the one caring and the one cared-for, both connect in mutual search for meaning and wholeness, and perhaps for the spiritual transcendence of suffering" (Cara 2010).
Support groups can be particularly effective in dealing with cultural and generational barriers that can exist between members of the organization. Older nurses often are impatient with younger nurses, and young nurses have historically bourn the brunt of lateral violence. Through informal dialogue, mediated by a trained facilitator, nurses can understand that they all have similar emotions, regardless of their duration in the profession. Supported dialogue can also open up channels of communication between nurses from different cultural backgrounds, creating a more integrated workplace.

As well as dealing with emotions, support groups can offer nurses training in more effective ways to frame and deal with conflict. For example, instead of making an issue focused on a person, by focusing upon an object-oriented problem…...

Strategic Communication PlanningIntroductionThe recent layoffs at Meta (formerly Facebook) have been a cause for concern for many stakeholders, including employees, investors, and the general public. As a result, it is crucial for Meta to have a comprehensive strategic communication plan that addresses the short-term and long-term goals of the company. The plan should aim to minimize the negative impact of the layoffs on employees and the public perception of the company while maintaining the trust of stakeholders (Mishra et al., 1998). Additionally, it should effectively communicate the reasons behind the layoffs and the steps being taken to support affected employees (Mujtaba, 2022). This communication plan should also outline a plan for the future that emphasizes growth and innovation while demonstrating that Meta is still a desirable place to work.Step One: Strategic Level Desired OutcomesThe recent announcement of layoffs at Meta (formerly Facebook) is a sensitive issue that requires a strategic…...

Concerns

Being the regional human resource director of the company, I have recently been informed that there is a restructuring taking place within the organization. This includes the retirement of the company president and his decision to relocate the current headquarters from Northeast to Texas. This will encompass the redeployment of approximately 1,000 personnel. Taking all these aspects into consideration, I have several concerns.

First, I am concerned that employees will not be receptive to the news that they will have to relocate to a new expanse after working there for several years. A major worry is that there will be a decline in employee performance, which will hamper the overall performance and productivity of the organization. Another problem is that the retention level of employees might significantly deteriorate. With turnover comes the need to hand out employee benefits. With respect to indirect as well as direct expenses, the…...

Change is a continuing process that is unavoidable and organizations no longer have an alternative and for that reason they have to change so as to live on and avoid being archaic. Leaders have an important role to play as they have a great say as to the direction in which the organization is heading. Therefore, managers of organizations have to understand how to manage change. All organizations face several different forces for change that are internal, emanating from within the organization and external, which emanate outside the organization. However, such organizational change does face resistance, as majority of members within the organization prefer maintaining status quo. Organizational resistance is delineated as a manifestation of reservation that usually emanates as a reaction to change. Resistance to change has long been acknowledged as a disparagingly significant factor that can impact the achievement of any organizational change determination and endeavor (Toribiotoribio and…...

There will be significant face-to-face and electronic communication. The second group will have a moderate level of communication, largely electronic. The third group is expected to have stronger resistance. They will therefore receive a high frequency of communication, and significantly more face-to-face communication than the second group.
The project status will be measured and evaluated against set targets and timeframes. The constant communication with the implementation team will allow for rapid escalation of issues, generally on an informal basis. Should an issue become severe enough as to warrant formal discipline, I will escalate it to the VP of Operations under a formal procedure. Each group will have specific objectives and timeframes - signoffs will need to be prompt. This will be subject to significant communication. I will request status updates from divisional management to assist with this task. The rest of the organization will receive communication through standard corporate communication…...

Teas n' Line Communications Plan
Key Issues: The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) Conferences have a history of citizen unrest, protests, and violence. Seattle's was heavily criticized, for instance, during the 1999 conference, and now the conference for 2003 is set in Miami; already a contentious area due to several racially-based riots. The Miami Dade Police Force learned from the past and formulated a new strategic plan that emphasized the offensive instead of the defensive, mobility rather than static rather than tactics, proactive and intelligence driven, and anticipating issues through planning and discipline. In addition, County officials were concerned about accusations of police violence and unwanted international attention. They believed that the situation called for undercover agents who used weapons only to save lives. Thus, a difference in strategy and tactics formed a political and operational conundrum for law enforcement and government.

Communication Challenges for Project Managers
Unit 3 The first article that details the pitfalls of communication for project managers is Foong's "Effective communication: a challenge to project managers." This article focuses on the various points of difficult project managers might encounter while attempting to communicate with people during the tenure of a project. Those pitfalls most eminently include a range of stakeholders, various factors of diversity for project team members, and the lack or inefficacy of a communication plan explicitly for a particular project. The diversity that project managers are sure to encounter include geographical, educational, and experiential factors that can greatly vary amongst those working on a project. Moreover, project managers need to not only create a communication plan that is inclusive of both stakeholders and team members, but they must also specifically tailor it to meet the various needs of these people (Foong, 2014).
