In my earlier organization, there was the problem of interdepartmental communication gap and It caused many activities and processes to be delayed as no department was ready to coordinate with other departments.

The most negative aspect of this issue was that it really hampers the productivity of the employees and the department which in turn has its negative impact on the overall efficiency of the organization as required level of collaboration and assistance was lacking among the various departments. It really had a negative impact on the oral of the employees too.
