staff will be discussed with the other employees at the workplace and also by arranging meeting
with team help in solving the problem of staff (Plomp and et. al.,2019).If managers get involved
with the staff then they don't have to face problem and it can be resolved. If there is support of
every staff then problem can be solved effectively and efficiently. Different strategies is to be
used to analyse the problem of communication. If employees are interacting with each other it
will be beneficial for all the employees to communicate easily with them. All the employees of
