In the above case an informal system of communication is being used in the organisation. And to overcome the problems that occur due to informal communication systems of communication the manager should adopt a formal system of communication.
Formal communication refers to the communication taking place through official channels in an organisation. Such type of communication takes place between managers and workers, or managers working at the same cadre, or employees working at the same cadre. Though such communication may be oral or written, but it is recorded and filed in the office.
There are two types of formal communication that are:

2. Horizontal or Lateral communication: Communication that takes place between individuals working at the same level, is called horizontal communication. E.g. a production manager may contact the marketing manager to discuss the production schedule.
