Abstract
Communications researchers draw on a wide range of approaches to human resource management. These can be grouped into three very different, but overlapping, views of communication in HRM. These focus broadly on information management, participation and organizational culture. The most straightforward approach to communication is concerned with the passing of information between senders and receivers. In HRM this may be most evident in the provision of clearly specified, legally required employment procedures. Participation involves interaction between employees and management . This could be in negotiating work conditions between employees and management. Finally, organizations may be seen as communicatively constructed, created and given meaning by the stories, symbols and rituals that convey culture. Briefing groups may be seen either as a conduit for passing information down through the organization, an opportunity for employee participation or as a process through which the organization is structured and constituted.
