  • Favorable Organizational Environment: Upward communication strengthens the bond between subordinates and superiors. As a result, the organization achieves continuous growth
  • Knowing Employee Attitude: Every company offers some kind of employee welfare program. If upward communication is active, the management will know how satisfied employees are with these welfare activities
  • Feedback: Subordinates communicate their reactions to the superiors' decisions via upward communication. As a result, upper-level management can check to see if lower-level employees have accepted the message that superiors sent
  • Prompt Appreciation: Subordinates have the opportunity to praise their boss for any positive or effective action as a result of upward communication. It eventually leads to a friendly relationship between superiors and subordinates
  • Decision Making: Before making decisions, upper management wants to know specific information about the production, procurement, marketing, and financial matters, among other things. Subordinates provide relevant information through upward communication, making decision-making more manageable and faster
  • Development of Creativity: Upward communication necessitates the development of a creative environment in which employees can demonstrate their development initiatives
  • Motivation: Lower-level employees can express their attitudes or opinions to upper-level employees through upward communication. As a result, subordinates are influenced to work harder to meet the target

Slide 5

Slide 6

This slide depicts the advantages of downward communication. The advantages are organizational discipline, efficiency, effective communication of goals, and ease of delegation.

Instructor’s Notes:

The following are the advantages of downward communication:

  • Organizational discipline: Downward communication follows the organization's hierarchy, making organizational discipline and member compliance much easier to maintain
  • Efficiency: Downward communication provides efficiencies because instructions and information are delivered from sources in power who can coordinate activities at the top of the organization. Employees receive feedback from the managers who supervise them
  • Effective communication of goals: Upper management can easily communicate goals and delegate responsibilities for meeting those goals
  • Ease of delegation: Delegation is much easier if it comes directly from the vertical communication structure representing the chain of command

Slide 7

This slide illustrates the disadvantages of downward communication. The disadvantages are time-consuming, distortion of information, lack of feedback, enthusiasm, and frustration.

Instructor’s Notes:

The disadvantages of downward communication are as follows:

  • Time consuming: Downward communication is a time-consuming process, as information flows through different levels of hierarchy. By the time when information reaches lower-level employees, it may have lost its significance
  • Distortion of information: People in downward communication tend to change or manipulate information. As a result, when information is passed from one level to another, the authenticity of the information is lost
  • Lack of feedback: Top-level executives usually give little or no importance to the messages received from subordinates. Subordinates rarely send feedback as a result of their superiors' negligence. Communication becomes ineffective as a result
  • Lack of enthusiasm: Managers use downward communication to send orders, instructions, and advice to subordinates. As a result, a delay in the downward flow of information harms employee enthusiasm
  • Creates frustration: Downward communication makes it difficult for subordinates to discuss any issues with their superiors. Furthermore, subordinates are forced to follow the orders and instructions of their superiors, which creates frustration in the minds of employees

    I’m not a design person, so I couldn’t make a presentation to save my life. Thankfully, they have all kinds of templates that I regularly use for my work.
