101 Effective Communication

A workforce with open communication between all employees is the one most likely to succeed. It’s also the one prospective employees will most want to join.

While it may be easy to follow that logic, it’s considerably harder to know where to begin. The following tips, provided by businessknowledgesource.com, will guide you in your endeavor to stay open with all those who work for and around you.

An open door. The first step in creating open communication requires establishing a culture that encourages unfettered access.

“A policy in which employees can come and approach you with a problem at any time your door is open is helpful in creating an open line of communication,” advises the writers at businessknowledgesource.com.

A body of evidence. Be careful to not send mixed messages.Though you may not realize it, you are communicating just as much with your body as you are with the words you speak. Gestures and postures will convey a specific attitude.

With open arms. It may sound like common sense, but your employees and co-workers won’t know they can come to you to talk unless you make it clear.

“Letting your employees know they are free to talk to you about any workplace issue at any time will help to keep the lines of communication open,” say the experts at businessknowledgesource.com.

It’s a reach. Be willing to meet your employees halfway. If you reach out to your employees by asking questions and following up to make sure things are running smoothly, they’ll feel more comfortable opening up in return. Sometimes you must set the standard.
