Company Communicating

Imagine trying to run a business where no one of your staff communicates with each other. Departments would be out of sync, no one would be quite certain what was going on, and it would be impossible to work together on group projects. In other words, a lack of communication would cause serious efficiency problems, and at the end of the day that’s money out of the company’s pockets. Taking the time to keep everyone in the loop fixes all these issues, and for that reason it’s absolutely essential for every company to stress communication.

In today’s digital age, communication is easily done in several formats, but it’s also important to retain the ability to verbally communicate as well.

When communication is stressed, it creates an open environment where everyone feels comfortable talking with each other. When that level of comfort is present in a business, employees feel confident that they can express their ideas about the work process to each other and even to management. Feedback is a vital component of communication, and it works both ways. Management give feedback to the employees in regards to how well they’re faring at their duties, and employees feel safe giving feedback on how well the company’s policies and procedures are working. Communication is not communication if it only comes from one direction.
