Besides that, the advertisement and use of language should be carefully checked as it might offended the local people due to the interpretation of message sent by the organization.

With communication, an image of a company can be maintained. Thanks to the P.R department, a company's reputation can be rapidly increased and any accident can be damaged control. As for the H.R department, their job is too recruit people and ensure the employer and employees get along well which and where communication is taking place
