While a lot of organizations talk a good game with internal communciations and some have invested heavily in newsletters and intranets. The big stumbling block may be mid management, they are overworked, and have a lot on their plate without the leeway of making final decisions. Disemminating information is their only currency and there might be a skill gap in communciation with immediate reports. I also agree with Julie about gen Y, they have nothing to lose. We Gen X'ers and late boomers get it where it hurts again. Interesting podcast, I really agree with closed door meetings, they are a morale killer even in good times.
