communication policies. The following provides initial research on the general state of affairs

Specify recommendations regarding what.
Email Use
Email is the most widely used tool for business communication at the workplace. It is important
because it creates a fast and reliable form of communication that is free and easily accessible. It
is not characterized by the inconveniences that are generally associated with traditional
communication media, such as telephone or postal mail. Businesses of any type can effectively
use email for multiple purposes which includes sending information internally and externally.
Internet Use
The Internet is a worldwide system of computer networks - a network of networks in which users
at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer.
Businesses utilize the Internet to spread the word about the organization and advertise job
openings. Internet provides communication with other organizations, members, staff, supporters
and donors. It helps the business to maintain up to date information, to gain full access to a

monitoring the quality of customer service. Lastly, employers should allow employees to take
brief personal calls of the "I'll be home late" or "where shall we meet tonight" variety in order to
avoid problems and to deal with emergencies.
Commented [LR8]: Recommendations are always specific and
should appear as a listing. There is a lot of work left to do on this
memo to satisfy the needs of the client.
