Question

Describe the advantages of horizontal communication.

Answer 1

1. It facilitates the development of trust and understanding between individuals and departments.
2. It makes it easier for the organization’s many departments to coordinate and work together.
3. It facilitates the establishment of both intra- and inter-departmental differences without the need for management intervention.
4. It makes it possible to solve problems at lower levels.
5. Since there are no obstacles based on status, it is usually quite effective. It could, however, turn into murmurs and gossip. Such time-wasting and counterproductive actions must be avoided.
