Using Notices in Business Communication - Advantages and Disadvantages
Bookmark this page

Notices are methods used to keep the workforce as a whole up to date with what is going on.  There are impersonal methods of communication i.e. the same communication is sent to all the workers.  Notices may relate to vacant posts, holiday arrangements, union matters or social events and are likely to be displayed on a notice board.  Sometimes important notices are included with wage or salary slips.  They keep workers informed and attempt to make them feel a part of a large company.

The advantages of this method are:

• It can contain diagrams as well as written information.
• A written record of the message is kept.
• They can be created in such a way as to attract attention.
• Employees tend to look at notice boards in their breaks.

The disadvantages to this method are:

• The message isn’t clearly sent across, as not a lot of detail can be included in the notice.
• The notice can easily be taken down to be read by an employee or covered up by another notice.
• It can time to distribute the notices around the organisation.
• If they don’t look attractive, people tend not to look at them as they may think from their first impressions that it doesn’t seem very interesting.

This would have open channels to communication because the information will be put up on a notice board so that everyone can read it not just to one specific individual unless otherwise stated.
