Article review
According Wziątek-Staśko 2011, management have the mandate of ensuring that the structures maintained in their organization enable effective and quality sharing of information among staffs and management. With effective information sharing, management is able to tap their human capital intellectualism.
Effective communication is a tool of effective human resources management. When human capital can communicate and share their ideas, opinions, and feelings with each other and with the management, their rate of motivation will be enhanced (Wziątek-Staśko, 2011). Motivated staffs are more productive than de-motivated staffs, they are the building blocks that an organization should value and invest in.
According to the article, human capital management should be designed to teach the workforce practical skills, that will help an organization to manage the workforce and their careers for optimal effectiveness; the above can only be attained when the management has an effective communication policy. Effective communication increases value of employees; this is through the development of training, coaching, and mentoring of human capital.
Managers are well aware that the management of human capital and labor force is essential for an organization; an organization’s workforce is its Human capital. For the quality management, then communication should be enhanced at all levels of management. This workforce is commonly regarded as human capital in organizations that recognize the economic impact of its workers.
Organizations that do not invest in human Capital face the threat of decreasing productivity and profitability.

Therefore, Human Capital can be viewed as the process through which a company pools together resources and utilize their capabilities to meet the organizations goals.

According to the article, in the fast growing marketplace, leaders had started to believe that they need to have trained employees; training can only be effective when management has enacted effective communication in their company.

It is important for any organization to have knowledgeable employees with high abilities and use their experience and skills to help organization succeed.

Personal opinion
The article articulates quality reasons and support of the need to have effective communication in an organization. The article looks into current and future needs of effective communication structures and the benefit that an organization is likely to get from such reliable structures.
The only challenge that the article failed to address is the challenge that management face when enacting communication structures in their organizations. It’s evident that having reliable structures calls for high rate of investments both financially and in form of intellectualism. The article creates an impression that enacting policies is an easy task that can be attained when the management feels like; however this is not the state on the ground. Enacting a policy is complicated and needs much thinking and structuring (Yan, 2007).
When discussing the topic, the article failed to offer examples and extracts from real situations, it discusses the topic in general terms; in an academic article, it is important to quote different companies and how they have benefited from the tool quoted.
