Happy Monday to you Whether you work on your own or in a busy office, good communication skills should be a standard part of your everyday work life. The better you become at these skills, the more you will get done. In turn, everyone you work with can become more productive. Some people need to be reminded that good communication skills include knowing the difference between fruitful communication and pointless time-wasting. You may have someone in your office that likes to “visit” with coworkers throughout the day, or always seems to be talking on his or her phone. This type of social activity is not appropriate for the workplace. It prevents the job from getting done. Good communication skills in the workplace can generally be summed up in two categories. There is the type of communication which should be as direct, brief, and to the point as possible. You can say whatever needs to be said, or ask a question, or clarify something, without wasting your own time or the other person’s time. The other type of communication is the one which involves giving, receiving, or exchanging information. You may need to fill someone in on an aspect of the job, or request a detailed explanation about a project. In most cases, these are the only forms of communication which enhance the workplace and increase productivity. Good communication skills also involve being receptive to, and listening to, what the other person is saying. Simply waiting your turn to speak is a negative habit which should have been shed in childhood. If you have not yet developed the habit of good listening skills, it can be helpful to practice this habit during your free time. If you occasionally have lunch or breaks with your coworkers, this can be an excellent time to develop your listening skills. Practicing good communication skills in the workplace saves time. When questions, answers, and explanations are fully received when they are first spoken, it eliminates the need for repetition. It also gives the other person the message that what he is saying is valuable. When everyone is “on the same track,” everyone will get more done.
