Communication in the workplace is very important for employees to work efficiently and be productive. Good communication is an essential tool in achieving productivity and maintaining strong working relationships at all levels of an organisation.

Few Importance of Communication:

Innovation

Where employees are enabled to openly express their ideas without fear of ridicule, they are more likely to present their ideas without fear of ridicule. This relies heavily on innovation; therefore, an organization that promotes communication is more likely to be innovative one.

Effective Communication

When there is a good communication channel, you can manage your team better. It is much simpler to delegate activities, manage conflicts, motivate and build relationships when your team communicates with each other effectively.

Team Building

Creating strong teams requires communication and cooperation. A good communication line helps in the effective building of a well-coordinated team and in implementing strategies.

Giving Voice to All

Employee satisfaction can be very much dependent on their voice being listened to, whether in regards to an idea they have had or about a complaint they make.

HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE COMMUNICATION IN YOUR WORKPLACE?

Below are some of the key areas where organizations can enhance and improve communication between their teams:

Include everyone: Make sure that the communication lines are always open. Search and actively promote progress reports and project updates. This is especially important when it comes to remote personnel.

Listen and take action:  Communication is a two-way process, so every company needs to imbibe the habit of listening and encouraging dialogue among its employees.

Define Objectives and Expectations: Managers should provide clear and achievable goals for teams and individuals by outlining what is required on any given project.

Deliver your message clearly: Make sure your message is clear and accessible to the intended audience. To do this, it is important that you speak clearly and politely to convey your message clearly without confusion or offence.
