Aetn The Importance Of Communication In The Workplace

When two people decide to get married and spend the rest of their lives together, they don’t plan on their past individual experiences getting in the way of their happiness as a couple. Research has shown that when the couple finds themselves in an unhappy marital relationship, they find themselves contemplating divorce because they lack the proper tools for effective communication (Buehlman, Gottman, & Katz, 1992). Effective communication learned in the early years of marriage will build a stable, healthy, and active union, which involves keeping alive feelings that brought the couple together in the first place (Honeycutt, 1999). Studies conducted on this topic (Driver & Gottman, 2004) determined that effective communication and interaction play a part in how couples detour from the dirt road of divorce and get back on the highway of happily ever after.

I wouldn't have left the meeting feeling hurt, or angry by the lack of communication and collaborative outcome driven decision making. As Neil and McNulty discuss, their assertive form of conflict management demonstrated their inability to be an effective listener (also mentioned as very important in the lecture). In my opinion, they had already determined the outcome before our meeting, so there was no need for a back and forth type of conversation. While this may have been successful with someone else, I feel like the situation called for a more understanding assertive style of

My job ( which I believe I do well) is to communicates what is changing and why. I explain the business needs for change and the anticipated benefits; emphasizes the impact of change on performance expectations and individual, team, and the organization results. The information is shared via the department Accelerator, team meetings, reports, face-to-face, etc... I am not shy, which allows me to ask questions to uncover others’ opinions and feelings about change. In addition, this helps identify root causes and the proper communication path through empathy to those who experience loss or fear as a result of change by acknowledging both the situation and the emotions they express. Recently, a Connect meeting brought anxiety to the Contract

For groups to operate effectively, communication is essential. In basic terms, effective group communication is critical for purposes of enhancing sharing of information, consensus building as well as plan implementation. This discussion will, amongst other things, concern itself with communication behavior in groups.

Someone once said great communication is a skill that is needed in life. I believe great communication can take an individual very far in life. Effective communication helps connect with people. It can open many doors for many jobs. It lets the employer know whom they have hired, and how intelligent the person really is. In the business profession, effective communication enables managers to give understandable instructions to their employees. Effective communication will help state what is expected from workers. I believe effective communication can be used in all aspects of the workplace.

During the group meeting, from the communication aspect, I was trying to self-started actively by expressing my own opinion at the beginning of the meeting, but I was lack of communicating with meeting partner during the meeting. Communication is an ability to transfer information accurately, clearly to others in both life and work, basically in every aspect of people’s life. It is interesting because it could have different forms, such as vocally, written, visually or non-verbally. It is challenging to change because it needs practice, people need to work on their communication skills and by doing it quality of life could also be improved.

Brian Tracy is Chairman and CEO of Brian Tracy International, a company specializing in the training and development of individuals and organizations. One of Tracy’s popular quotes details communication and the significance that it has on our lives. The quote goes: “Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life.” (Put source here)

Communication is a key aspect of living that can make everyday life better or worse. Whether its for your personal life, academics, or for your employment communication is vital. For the last three years of my life I have been employed by a large construction company based out of Bedford, Nova Scotia named Dexter's Construction. Like any other place of employment there are up sides and down sides to the job. Some of the bright sides include a fast tracked career,  the ability to travel all across the Maritimes for free, and the above average pay structure. Some of the negatives include weeks away from family and friends at a time, the length of the work day usually being 16-17 hours per day, and the lack of communication in several different areas of the job. For me the lack of communication is the worst part about the job because you never know where you stand with certain individuals or even the company itself. I believe that the present climate  leads to a low morale among the majority of workers and the high turn over rate of employment at the company.

Workplace communication is critical to any successful organization. Without proper communication, employees cannot perform their jobs efficiently. Often times, management assumes their employees are aware of everything that’s expected of them. Some managers do not even focus on their employees, rather they focus on their reputation. When employees are confused with nowhere to turn, stress levels rise and workload proficiency decreases. Imagine a scenario where there are nine employees who are all part of a team. Seven of the employees work in the library and archival department of a government organization. The other two members are also part of the overall department but work in the printing area. One of the employees holds the leadership role as manager for both departments. The employees try their best help each other out even though the two areas are drastically different. This team lacks the basic methods of communication, which leads to errors and lack of plans to fix those errors. I have been designated as the lead for this team to get their communication issues fixed. In order to solve the communication issues with the team, an organized communication plan needs to be put into place. Communication among my team’s members can be improved through face-to-face communication, oral communication, and written communication.

Using clinical reasoning supported by current evidence base, you will consider how both modulation and praxis may be implicated in your client’s presenting difficulties.

What if a nurse, failing to communicate effectively, resulted in a patient falling, developing a worsening disease, or die unexpectedly? Nurses have a major responsibility of communicating with a patient effectively on their level of understanding. Health literacy is not widely understood; therefore, part of a nurse’s responsibility is to be able to make the instructions or information presentable in way in which the patient grasps and understands the information (Spotlight). Effective communications consist of many components: listening, nonverbal communication, questions, and the use of facilitators (AAOHN journal).

6.1 a There are several ways to converse, especially in today’s world that gadgets like smartphone and the internet are very useful communication tools and technology. But in health care, it is about engaging and understanding our patients. First is to recognize if a person has an idea that must be discussed, especially if it will contribute to the effectiveness of care. Communication is also verbally and nonverbally delivered, it can be through speaking, and listening, and body language that must be understood.

One’s ability to effectively communicate in the workplace with staff, colleagues, and management is fundamental regardless of the industry they work in. Clear communication skills help individuals to get hired, earn promotions, and to be successful throughout their careers. When we properly communicate this assures that all parties are on the same page, which allows the work process to flow easier. The function of communication in the workplace is to spread information needed to employees to ensure assignments are completed in a timely manner, as well as it helps to build commitment, trust and relationships in the workplace. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature of two different variables email and face to face communication in the workplace.

Establish guidelines. Before conducting a formal meeting between individuals, get both parties to agree to a few meeting guidelines. Ask them to express themselves calmly—as unemotionally as possible. Have them agree to attempt to understand each other’s perspective. Tell them if they violate the guidelines the meeting will come to an end.

In the workplace today, we are likely to have a diverse mix of culture, age, race and gender balance. Nonverbal communication varies amongst all of these and also on the different contexts of the workplace i.e. meetings, conferences, tea breaks etc.
