Survey Sez
Many organizations are failing when it comes to "upward communication"—the feedback from employees to management—according to the new Organizational Communication Survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and CareerJournal.com, The Wall Street Journal's executive career site.

• Just over half (59%) of employees felt that their organizations listened to what they had to say. Organizations fared better with their ability to conduct "downward communication"—or messages coming from management to employees—with 68% of employees and 66% of HR professionals agreeing or strongly agreeing that their organization communicates its business plan and goals to its staff well.
• Fewer than half (46%) of all surveyed HR professionals reported that their organizations collected employee opinions. Of the HR professionals who used staff feedback forms, 86% rated the effectiveness of these interactions as "good" or "very good."
• "Communication is an important key to maintaining a successful relationship between an organization and its employees. Organizations that communicate effectively outpace organizations that don't," said Tony Lee, publisher, CareerJournal.com. "Companies should be more proactive in collecting employee feedback and establishing vehicles for employees to express their concerns."
• Eighty percent (80%) of HR professionals felt that their organizations were open to suggestions and improvements from employees, compared with 66% of employees.
