In any organization, individuals must get together periodically to decide how to solve important problems and to exchange the information necessary to coordinate their activities. Meetings, workshops, conferences, focus groups, and self-directed work teams require additional communication skills because they involve communicating with more than one person at a time.

Formal groups are those that have a specific task or objective. People may belong to formal groups either because they share a common concern or because they are assigned to the group by their organization.

Informational. Staff meetings, conferences, and briefings are examples of informational groups. These groups are useful when the group members need the same information at the same time and when management wants to ensure exposure to the information and provide opportunity for questions and discussion.

Education-and-training. Most large organizations have entire departments whose sole purpose is to discover what employees need to know and to arrange for education and training. These departments orient employees to new programs, correct educational deficiencies, and introduce new and pertinent information. Smaller organizations also use groups for these same functions. College classes and in-service seminars and workshops are examples of education-and-training groups.

Problem-solving. Any group with a particular task or specific objective is a problem-solving group. The group may be formal or informal, and the problem may range from preliminary discussions, to planning, to implementing decisions.

Informal groups are formed to foster improved interpersonal relationships rather than to accomplish any particular task or objective. Coffee-break gatherings, group lunches, and organizational golf outings and bowling or softball teams are among the most common informal groups in organizations. The communication skills required in informal groups are essentially interpersonal skills. It is only when an informal group assumes a task—becoming for the moment a formal group—that other skills are required.
