INTRODUCTION
Communication refers to appropriate and effective sharing of crucial information within
an organisation (Karanges and et. al., 2015). It is a crucial activity which is essential for
implementation of certain policies within the company and ensuring its prominent growth.
Below are several challenges and strategies to ensure effective communication in Mr Fishy.
TASK 1
Challenges and Barriers to Effective Communication
Within the restaurant, currently there are several communication challenges which are
being faced by the restaurant. Some of the prominent ones after the uncertainty of Brexit are
discussed as under:
 Difference in Perception:
The staff members of the restaurant are of different age groups. However, this has started
to result in more conflicts due to their difference in perception. Due to generation gap, the staff
currently is facing challenges in perceiving instructions and responsibilities differently.

 Linguistic Barriers:
Another prominent challenge in establishing effective communication is that due to
different cultures, the linguistic preferences of people in terms of accent as well as language is
quite different (Martin and Nakayama, 2015). Thus, some of the Non-British staff are facing
hardships in context with understanding the commands.
