Effective communication in the workplace has a huge impact on the daily working environment. Being able to express your point of view in a calm, articulate and professional manner is essential to getting what you need and making the point you are trying to make clear to the people you are communicating with. Not everyone has the skills to communicate effectively, in some cases there are people who prefer to send an email or a reminder before communicating face to face. Communication is much more than simply conveying a message; it's about making the speaker feel heard and understood, listen to the message being conveyed, and give good feedback. Communicating effectively in the workplace is very important whether someone is communicating with a colleague or a manager, communicating effectively can make the job a little easier. Whether verbal communication (talking) or nonverbal communication (emails, memos, etc.), it must be clear and everyone involved must be well informed. There have been more than a few instances where I have not experienced effective communication in the workplace and I want to start with this. There would be times when the messages would be mixed up by the time I received them or I would simply not receive them at all. For example, at a previous job at an animal hospital, my colleague (who was a senior employee) asked me if I could alphabetize new client documents. It was a simple task that could be done in 20 minutes, except the sales department manager told my colleague to have me alphabetize new customers with previous customers, which I wasn't told. In turn I was asked why the new clients were not added to the current client files.

When there is a level of trust within the team, people are able to work together creating better ideas for the improvement of the organization and are able to solve problems more effectively and efficiently. In conclusion, communication is essential not only in the workplace but everywhere. When a message needs to be forwarded to certain people, the message must be clear and descriptive and must also be delivered to the right person. Having effective communication in the workplace can ensure productivity, team building and just overall better morale for the organization, ultimately making work a little easier.
