Good communication is essential in attaining productivity and keeping solid relationships at all levels of an organization. Employers who invest time and energy into providing clear lines of communication will develop trust among employees, leading to an increase in productivity and overall morale. Meanwhile, employees who communicate well with colleagues, managers and customers are always valuable assets to an organization. Here are a few ways to improve communication in the office:

Define goals and expectations – Managers need to deliver clear, achievable goals to both teams and individuals, outlining exactly what is required on any given project, and ensuring that all staff are aware of the objectives of the project, the department and the organization as a whole.

Keep everyone involved – Ensure that lines of communication are always kept open. Actively seek and encourage progress reports and project updates. This is particularly important when dealing with remote staff.

Listen and show empathy – Communication is a two-way process and no company or individual will survive without listening and encouraging dialogue with the other party. Listening shows respect and allows you to learn about any outstanding issues you may need to address as an employer.

Clearly deliver your message – Ensure your message is clear and accessible to your intended audience. To do this it is essential that you speak plainly and politely, getting your message across without causing confusion.

The Holiday Season can be a complicated time in the workplace. All of the parties, gift exchanges, and celebrations can get in the way of normal work duties; sometimes resulting in a loss of productivity. Below are a few tips that might help this holiday season!

• Keep holiday gift-giving reasonable!
  • Consider doing a gift-swap type of game, with a reasonable $ cap, for folks to volunteer for. This type of exchange will help to concentrate the gift giving to one block of time and limit the amount of commotion that comes from so many one to one exchanging!
•  Don’t let the company party be a drag on your productivity!
  •  Holiday company festivities are a great way to wrap up the year and give back to your team, but many times this can lead to unwanted consequences like an unprofessional atmosphere or even worse: a tipsy atmosphere! This year, plan one single work party after hours and off premises! (Preferably on an evening where folks are off the next day, for recovery!)
•  End the year on a positive note!
  •  As employees and managers are rushing to wrap up projects and prepare for the next year, the holidays can often be a stressful time. Take this time to recognize positive performances and exude a positive attitude about the year ahead!
