Effective Work Cultures: The Alignment Between Marketing/Communications and HR Efforts

The complex nature of organizational culture and structures often rely on departmental cooperation and teamwork. The current paper focuses on two dominant organizational functions: HR and marketing/communication.  It is common for HR to oversee the internal functions of an organization related to onboarding, training and exiting practices.

Both functions need to work seamlessly to support employees and customers alike, while expanding strategic and marketplace reach. Implications for enhancing a collaborative work culture are discussed. &nbsp
