Using Social Media for Workplace Communication
Theories about communication should provide managers with the tools and information necessary to be able to communicate more effectively and efficiently with the members of the staff and avoid miscommunication.

However, there are numerous cases where the intended message has not been received by staff or customers in the way it was intended. With the advent of social media, managers and businesses have new opportunities and methods to communicate with staff and customers. At the same time, messages that is transmitted via social media can lead to instances of miscommunication and confusion amongst the recipients, with many often questioning whether managers have used the most appropriate channel of commination. For instance—

  •   A cryptic post to the social media site Facebook was how the staff of a popular Belfast restaurant, the Bank café Bar, found out that they were to lose their jobs, Managers took the decision to announce the immediate closure of the restaurant to customers and staff in the same message, ending the message with “#nojob”. Member of the staff had previously been told that the restaurant was facing some difficulties.
  •  UK-based supermarket Morrison fell victim to cybercrime had been stolen and uploaded to the Internet. They used the social media platform Facebook to immediately announce the issue. Morrisons had also sent our notification to announce the issue. Morrisons had also sent out notifications via email to colleagues who did not have access to the company email address. Many employees had found out about the issue because of the announcement on Facebook, long before any internet communication had reached them.

Questions:

b)    How would you feel if you were working in these organizations and were affected by such miscomputation through social media platforms?

c)     What would you do differently if you were a manager for the companies mentioned in the examples?
