Tips to improve employee communication in the workplace

09-08-2022 | By Devore Recruiting Blog Posts

Tips to avoid lack of employee communication in a workplace

Communication is a determining factor in the success of your business. It assists you in clarifying, improving, and communicating critical messages in order to create and implement plans smoothly.

So if something went wrong in the communication process, it affects almost every aspect of your business. You don’t want that to happen, and neither do we. Here are five of the best tips to avoid lack of effective communication in the workplace and increase employee retention.

5 Ways to Avoid Lack of Communication in the Workplace

Effective communication is easier said than done, especially in large companies. It takes time and consistent hard work to keep everyone on the same page, but it is not impossible. All you need are tips to solve or prevent communication problems at work, which we will be highlighting below!

1. Set Clear and Feasible Expectations
How do you expect your team members to communicate per channel? What basic communication rules should they follow when using a specific medium in the workplace?

Set clear and practical expectations in these areas, and ensure that your employees understand so that they can apply it to their work routine.

2. Encourage Safe and Open Communication
It’s natural for some employees to be intimidated and avoid approaching higher-level management to communicate. It could be because they are shy, or because the leadership style is discouraging them.

For this reason, it’s important to highly encourage your team for a safe and open-door communication policy. Be active in getting feedback and help them feel more comfortable speaking up with you.

3. Make Important Data Accessible
Not every question requires a verbal response; sometimes, one document access is enough. If you don’t want employees constantly knocking on your door to ask for minor information or files, give them easy and organized access to such documents.

That way, they won’t have to keep reaching out to you and make everyone’s time at work more productive.

4. Use Technology Appropriately
Technology makes communication faster, easier, and extensive. Moreover, it reduces the use of paper, which is environment-friendly. However, that doesn’t mean it’s always the best way to communicate in the workplace.

Non-face-to-face communication can lead to misunderstandings, so only use it when necessary. If an email was read, ensure that your employee clearly understood the message.

5. Make Extra Effort to Communicate With Remote Workers
If you have remote employees, you must make an extra effort to communicate effectively with them. After all, it’s easy to get lost in translation if there is no face-to-face conversation. Use all possible and effective means of making communication easier and better for them, including the use of messaging and video conferencing apps.

Cloud solutions are another solution. The point is to always make them a significant part of the team to increase work efficiency and satisfaction.

Final Thoughts

Recognizing that communication is essential for an efficient workplace is simple; implementing best practices is not. Worry not! It might seem daunting at first, but it’s not something any business can’t overcome. To begin, you must address any existing communication issues in your team and collaborate to find appropriate solutions. We hope our tips are helpful!

"Bita is EXACTLY what our facility needs. We have been working for a while at changing our image. She has joined us at precisely the right time. She is knowledgeable (extremely), hard working and committed to Quality Care. Because she is new, some leadership is challenging her, but she can handle it. The licensed nurses and CNAs LOVE her. She already has had a very positive impact. I am extremely grateful"
