Are you communicating the right way at your workplace?
Communication is key in any situation, more so at the workplace. How you come across to others, their reaction to it and also the way this affects your own work pattern, is a key factor when it comes to work efficiency. Here are a few good communication tips to use, to stay ahead of the game...
Firstly, be careful of the tone. Most people find themselves venting to emphasise a point, but this may not really get the point across. Instead, it might only irk the listener. To make others understand you, talk calmly and slowly.
ALWAYS MAKE IT A ‘WE’
Remember, it takes team effort to make the ship sail, so use words like ‘us’ and ‘we’ instead of ‘I’, as that makes coworkers feel like they matter. The multi-player feeling gets the job done fast as everyone feels equally responsible.
BE FUNNY
Humour always works. No one says you need to guffaw all the time, but light, friendly banter helps to lighten the atmosphere and makes others more receptive towards you. It also works to douse those moments of high pressure and stress.
USE CLARITY
Always keep official communication concise and to the point in e-mails. This helps people understand the task as it conveys the message effectively.
SMILE MORE OFTEN
Lastly, non-verbal cues matter, too as a lot of miscommunication happens through body language. So wear a smile as often as possible.
