All of these usually are formal and scripted. We will analyze those formal communications, but we will also try to dissect how the audience processes your message, perceives those messages, and then acts upon the information. I have tried to create this learning experience to be one that involves raising your competency in the areas of memo writing, generating oral and written presentations, and management of the infamous "grapevine." The central purpose of this course is to understand the principles of formal and informal communication from both the receiver and the sender within the organization: 1. To learn how to create a formal message to the organization (within an HR environment). 2. To assess how the message will be interpreted (internal and external stakeholders). 3. To identify how many different types of communication vehicles can be used to permeate the organization. 4. To discover and develop how good communication inside and outside of the company can be used as a catalyst towards higher levels of profitability in the organization. 5. To create a system of good communication within the company. Here are some study topics that should be reviewed before taking this course: 1. The communication process. 2. The role of Human Resources within the organization. 3. Organizational behavior. 4. External and Internal stakeholders. Course Requirements: Your Introduction to the class: Within the required textbooks by Garr Reynolds and Dr. Mary Munter several themes resound in each chapter. To be an effective communicator and competent HR professional you are required to lead meetings, act as an advocate for employees in group activities, deliver bad news, and sell ideas to peers and upper management.
