Better communication in the organization plays a vital role in the success of any companies. When “employees” feel “in the know, they have a greater satisfaction level about the workplace. It’s like the feeling that “you belong” in the organization.

When I am still in my construction company handling 30 manpower per project, in meetings, the lead man, carpenters, mason, electrical engineers, painters, civil engineers down to the helpers, when we had meetings, everyone must be there. The main objective is that, the building construction will not be finished without the help or accomplishment of each and everyone or else it will be discontinued. The painter must know the accomplishment done of the mason for them to have an idea when to start their work, the mason must know the accomplishment of the electrical engineers so that they can proceed in their wall plastering, it’s about team effort and collaboration.

In a corporate side, we have “Town Hall Meetings.” The agenda usually is reporting the accomplishments, new objectives, celebrating birthdays, acknowledging new team members or even announcement of new projects. Under Elabram Systems Group, it is every quarter in Indonesia, the biggest team under Elabram Systems Group. Just recently Ms. Annie Bahwanie, the  Deputy Group Finance and Operation Director did the opening remarks and reported  information about the sales of the previous quarter and discussed also about the  planning for annual training & company trip for this year.
