Some companies are bringing chair massages into the workplace. Some employers believe it makes employees happy, is a stress release, and spiritual uplift.

Communication is an important skill for people to have in an organisation. Through the interpersonal communication (communication between two or more people) process, people can exchange information, create motivation, express feelings or apply penalties for inappropriate behavior, all within the workplace (Robbins, et al, 2009). According to Eunson (2008) people who lack communication skills in the organisation should be trained to deal with different situation that involve communicating effectively (p. 554).

In this case-study for Electra Products’, I will be addressing relevant, organisational behaviour and communication issues that must be addressed in order to “revive the failing company” (Samson, 2012). Specific recommendations will be offered to further assist in focusing on the key outlined issues and what actions would be most appropriate to take from this point. Throughout the report, it is clear the attitudes of staff are becoming unfavourable and has resulted in a lack of job satisfaction, thus becoming a crucial behavioural issue within the company, restricting its progression and the success of the empowerment campaign implemented by the company’s new CEO. Selective perception and emotions of the staff are creating communication issues that are barriers and are “going to be an obstacle to the empowerment efforts” (Samson, 2012).
