• To hear something through the grapevine is to learn about something. It can also simply refer to an overheard conversation or anonymous sources of information, e.g. "I heard through the grapevine that Brad died."

• The grapevine creates a sense of unity among the employees who share and discuss their views with each other. Thus, grapevine helps in developing group cohesiveness. The grapevine serves as an emotional supportive value. The grapevine is a supplement in those cases where formal communication does not work.
