ongoing basis

problems within an organization.

FAQs
Q: Why is it important for a business to have multiple channels of communication?

A: Effective communication across both channels is necessary for a business to thrive. Internal
communication keeps a business viable. Without communication between all levels of the
business, directives cannot be completed, slowing the growth of the business.

MBWA
 Creates stronger communication channels and improving employee-superior relationships
 Strengthens an environment of feedback, in which the subordinates can provide the
manager with ideas, tips and suggestions to act upon
 Improves efficiency since the management will be able to clear problems quicker by
meeting people face-to-face, rather than relying on writing a string of e-mails
