ORGCOMM PRACTITIONER

Since organizational communication is a relatively young field, I am often asked what I would end up to be after graduation, and most of the time I’m lost for words. However, since I’m on my last major subject, I believe I could finally go on and on about the important role that Org. Comm. practitioners play in companies or any other organization.

Communication specialists are vital team members in institutions because not only do they oversee their internal and external communication processes, they are also equipped in handling crises. Such crises may include reestablishing organizational identities and values, counteracting negative issues and also conflicts among organizational leaders or employees. Consequently, Org. Comm. practitioners either in-housed or outsourced are like doctors who are equipped for diagnosing problems that may be hindering a company in fulfilling its goals. As organizations have evolved into complex systems in order to adapt to the heightened culture of capitalism, globalization and corporate social responsibility, Org. Comm. graduates provide effective and creative intervention plans to improve execution of procedures to produce trusted and strong organizations.
