A company’s internal communication is central to enhanced business performance. It is the foundation that aligns the CEO and the leadership team with every manager and supervisor so that the company’s vision, mission, objectives and goals are clearly articulated and executed. Effective internal communications can make the difference between a thriving, responsive, and profitable company and a confused organization rife with inefficiency and malcontent. Telephones, faxes, computers, bulletin boards, memos, newsletters, and email are all part of a company's internal communications.

The MIR3 inEnterprise Solutions Meets the Challenge of Five Common Causes of Poor Corporate Messaging Ensuring that everyone functions optimally within the many parts of the organization takes coordinated and accurate information. With the MIR3 inEnterprise solution, you can overcome the most common causes of poor internal communications.

1. If I Know It, Then Everyone Must Know It. Perhaps the most common communications problem is management’s assumption that because they are aware of some piece of information, then everyone else is, too. Usually staff members are not aware unless management makes a deliberate attempt to carefully convey information.

2. We Hate Bureaucracy – “We’re Lean and Mean.” Detailed, clear communication is not a bureaucratic nuisance. It is the wheel that keeps everyone in the company moving forward together. Avoid clear internal communications -- and you’ll avoid turning a profit. When shortcuts are taken, costly confusion can ensue.

3. I Told Everyone, I Think. Underestimating the value of communication or assuming that it just happens is a huge mistake. Make sure the intended recipients have gotten the message.

4. Did you Hear What I Meant for You to Hear? With today's increasingly diverse workforce, it's easy to believe the information you’ve distributed is understood. Interpretations are malleable; recipients may misinterpret critical pieces. Unfortunately, you won't be aware of this problem until a major problem or issue arises out of the confusion.

5. I Just Don’t Have Time for That Right Now. When time is of the essence, most urgent messages rise to the top. But even messages that aren’t mission-critical often demand prompt attention and response.
