Employees are assets and the primary publics to manage: Studies show employee satisfaction can lead to better performance with making fewer errors at workplace, and the satisfaction can be improved by well-planned internal communication strategies by the organization. Moreover, employees can function as ambassadors of an organization especially when the organization experiences threats and crises.
