process that transmits information from the sender to the receiver through a communication
channel. The process, however, is so complex and difficult to determine with whom
communication starts or ends (Turaga, 2016). At my place of work, we generally use the

human resource manager to inform the worker of the necessary changes in the work

(Oetzel, 2017). I have indicated that we use the transmission model of communication because it
generally entails participants, the message, encoding, decoding and the channels of
communication. When the information comes from the Human resource manager to the workers,
they act as the participant, and the message is then deciphered by the work through the encoding
and decoding process for them to understand. The channels used mostly are notice boards, email,
and phones messages.
