Claire wanted to tell her employees about the seminar, but she put the flier in a stack of papers and forgot about it until after the deadline, so none of her employees were able to sign up for the seminar. What type of barrier has occurred in this situation?

The barrier to communication that occurred in this situation is sender barrier.

A communication barrier is anything that prevents someone from receiving and understanding messages including information, ideas and thoughts. Since Claire did not let her employees know about the seminar, they had no way to know that the seminar was going on and that they were able to attend.  There was no information given from Claire, who was suppossed to be the sender of the information for her team.
