In a hotel, the main task of every employee is to communicate with people and co-workers almost all day long. So, one of the more important forms of organizational communication is inter-departmental communication.

Efficient systems are thought to lead to satisfied employees who are productive and committed to the organization. This is particularly important in the lodging sector of a tourism destination such as Turkey where employees are in contact with tourism and provide service on a day to day basis. Many hospitality businesses pay poorly, for example according to research in New Zealand. British male hospitality workers earn less than half the national industry average for men (Hoel & Einarsen, 2003), and the New Zealand Tourism Industry Association admits that pay is ‘uncompetitive’ (2006). Working conditions are difficult (O’Leary & Deegan, 2005), largely because of the hours needed to cope with the 24-hour nature of the industry, and supervisors and managers are often inadequately skilled. Persistent staff shortages, time constraints, work overload, long hours, shift work, and difficult customers all contribute to stressful working environments that can stimulate staff turnover. Conversely, fair pay and fair leadership discourage turnover, as do pleasant working conditions and stable hours (Day & Buultjens, 2007). The poor pay and working conditions experienced in many hospitality workplaces suggests employees are unlikely

Jaime Ford, author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, demonstrates the importance of communication in relationships at any age, with any people. Communication is extremely important for keeping relationships healthy and thriving. Lack of communication can cause arguments, stress, anxiety, and failed relationships.

Thirdly, I believe that flexibility is very important today with the employees, because if the working hours are not flexible, they tend to either do not prefer working here or when they get the opportunity they move out.

Put simply, it means that if a certain managerial style or conditions are applied then individuals will respond in a predictable way. The major characteristic of the hospitality industry is the role of people and the direct contact and interaction between staff and customers. This being said, the classical theory is not satisfactory in Hilton Hotels case. The human relations’ theory proposed by Elton Mayo and his experiments states that because organizations are composed of humans, focusing on human need and motivation is the way to bring the optimal output.

Many barriers are associated to communication that reduces its efficiency, we will discuss in this report the main obstacle that prevent the communication to be effective. II. The communication barrier: Researches have shown that a greater physical distance between employees can create communication problems in the workplace. People are likely to interact more frequently with those who are nearest to them, those who are at a distance of over 30 meters apart are far less likely to communicate with each other, Where employees are expected to work as a team this distance can have a considerable impact on the efficiency and productivity. To solve this issue it’s recommended to firms to decrease the distance between the different offices and departments in the workplace that will give more chance to employees
Consequently, ignoring upward and downward vertical communication that flows among all employee levels can directly affect the relationship between co-workers and also the company’s finances. For example, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) appoints a department to lead a data-gathering project and recommend a product strategy and that department manager only communicates to other managers, horizontally. Thus, he is missing critical input from sales employees who interact with the customers or clients every day. Henceforth, the manager recommends the company to modify its existing product while the sales employee knows that customers can easily make minor changes in the product to serve the same purpose and won’t spend money for the new
