Research problem
Argenti (2007, 139) tried to find how company can analyze if internal communications is ef-
fective or not. The
key are employees, their behavior and how do they react and talk about
the company. To discover what the employees think about their company helps to identify
problems that occurred (Hargie & Dennis 2009, 27). Audit is an instrument how to determi-
nate, and evaluate communication efficiency in community. “Audit provides an objective pic-
ture of what is happening in the company compared with what senior manager has been
told”. (Hargie & Dennis 2009, 28) To find out the current status of company communication
an audit can be used.
Internal communication improvement will lead to more efficient and effective processes and
profitability of the organization, motivation growth and employees will get
familiar with the
company vision and mission statement. When employees get more familiar with company vi-
sion and understand what is the company aiming to, it will lead to staff satisfaction. (Bob &
Macy 2008, 23-24)
