2COMMUNICATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL PRACTICE
Introduction
At each level of education communication is referred to as one of the most effective and
essential skill that each student need to posses. Two different topics I will individually
demonstrate and discuss in this assigned followed by “Topic 1: Understanding and working with
diverse others and Topic 2: Interpersonal communication”. The organizational setting selected
for the journal is my University, (University of South Australia) where I am pursuing degree of
business management. I experienced many positive and some negative things during the session.
I can say that my University setting was not just dependent on students but also on the lecturers,
staffs and other working employees as well. I have faced difficult situations when I was assigned
for a project (which was not a real world project but a small academic one as final year group
project). It was group project where I had to work with 3 other class mates. During that stage I
faced many challenges and issues. At the same time throughout the journey I have learnt many
things also. My role during that project assignment was to prepare the business case. Rest of the
team was allocated to analyze the business case and prepare a detail business plan for a fictional
business given by my lecturer.
In order to comprehend diverse activities and their impact in workplace two different
aspects I have further selected: “Aspect 1: Barriers to accepting diversity and Aspect 2: Cross-
cultural differences”. For the topic 2: Interpersonal communication the chosen aspects are Aspect
1: Communication climate and Aspect 2: Communication styles.
Being a student of business management I have learnt that, importance of communication
does not differ much for different organizational setting. Dwyer and Hopwood (2019) stated that,
the frequency and intensity of communication may change but their importances are not much

different. In order to maintain a good work atmosphere and supporting learning environment the
students, teachers, employees and also management team members are all responsible.
Therefore, they all need to communicate wisely and appropriately.
Analysis
Topic 1: Understanding and working with diverse others
Aspect 1: Barriers to accepting diversity
Diversity is referred to as a wide range of diverse individuals, who are associates to either
an organization or other workplace setting. In other words, diversity in workplace defines those
people whose characteristics are completely different from each other. Dwyer (2020) stated that,
workplace diversity is not just different workforce to an organization rather it involves
diversified talent to the organization. Most of the organizations believe in workforce diversity
and divides their employees and their pay scale based on degree, skill, age, gender and ethnicity
(Choroszewicz & Adams 2019). Employee empowerment is also diversified based on theses
workforce.
It was primarily decided that the supervisor will arrange team meeting every week. The
supervisor also arranged so but I found that as I was the only girl in my team he mostly used to
treat me like an negligible object. Infact my team members also distributed the responsibilities
between three other and I was just left with minimum responsibilities. I have good
sommunication and leadership skill I expected that I would be allowed to take part in the
activities but somewhere it did not happened. Apart from that I have also realized that my team
