EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN WORK PLACE

 

Communication is one of the most important levers of management that a company can implement for the formation of teams and achieving valuable performance. Communication and management are complementary disciplines and strong business elements for success. 

Management skills are essential in a business, but all equally important are those relating to the rules for the communication and the way in which a manager knows how to interact with his staff.  Being manager not only means to rein in business, but mostly means knowing to coordinate a team, leadership skills and most of all, communicate.

    Management should consider first people. The main aim of their involvement in the tasks they have undertaken, the efficiency with which they are carried out as it is a very important parameter, bearing especially in mind that it requires management to work together in teams.

    Management deals with the coordination of their activities, planning, organization and coordination of pre-established objectives levels, budget management and control and assessments, as a result of the work carried out.  

These management functions which support work within the organization are bringing a touch of its dynamism.  The individuals of the organization, namely the work force, will be the first to benefit from the results of the strategy or not, because they are the ones who execute the tasks assigned to attain the objectives (Bodie and Crick, 2014)

Managerial communication must take in to account a number of conditions: 

‒ a concise and precise formulation of the message to be understood easily and in full;

‒ rapid transmission of the message;

‒ fluency and assurance of reversibility of communication;

‒ use of a common language of the transmitter and receiver;

‒ simplifying the communication channels;

‒ ensuring flexibility and adaptability of the system of communication to be used in any situation, (Burnside-Lawry, 2011).

 

Communication Process Management 

The motivated and dedicated employees are the dream of any employer because they are the ones that increase the productivity of the company, maintain a positive working environment and based on collaboration and teamwork, are loyal to the company. In short, they are the ones who ensure the long-term success of the organization (Frandsen, Johansen and Pang, 2013).
