b. Lesson Proper,
What is COMMUNICATION?
Communication is more than simply the transmission of information.
The term requires an element of success in transmitting or imparting a
message, whether information, ideas, or emotions.
In a corporate environment, effective communication is the key to win
your way to success. Corporate communication is a technique that
involve all communication activities generated by a company to achieve the planned
objective. Corporate communication is an important activity because it creates strong
and appealing ideas, views and position on which a company can rely. Ultimately, it
helps to grow your business.
A communication therefore has three parts: the sender, the message, and the recipient.
The sender ‘encodes’ the message, usually in a mixture of words and non-verbal
communication. It is transmitted in some way (for example, in speech or writing), and
the recipient ‘decodes’ it.
Of course, there may be more than one recipient, and the complexity of communication
means that each one may receive a slightly different message. Two people may read
very different things into the choice of words and/or body language. It is also possible
that neither of them will have quite the same understanding as the sender.
In face-to-face communication, the roles of the sender and recipient are not distinct.
The two roles will pass back and forwards between two people talking. Both parties
communicate with each other, even if in very subtle ways such as through eye-contact
(or lack of) and general body language. In written communication, however, the sender
and recipient are more distinct.
Categories of Communication
There are a wide range of ways in which we communicate and more than one may be
occurring at any given time.
Visualizations: graphs and charts, maps, logos and other visualizations can all
communicate messages.

management/communication-and-interpersonal-skills/the-communication-

What is a message?
It is a short communication sent from one person to another or the central
theme or idea of a communication.
It is defined as information conveyed by words (in speech or writing), and /
or other signs and symbols.

How does Workplace Communication and Communication Process
work?
b. Lesson Proper
The importance of strong communication runs deep within the workplace. Five
important reasons include:
1. INNOVATION
Page | 18
Effective Communication
When executives are strong
communicators, they can better
manage their teams. When you are
a strong communicator, it is much
simpler to delegate activities,
manage conflicts, motivate and
build relationships (all important
responsibilities of an
administrator). Effective
communication not only talks to
people, but give them the
opportunity to talk to each other. Strong communication channels are essential.
Team Building
Creating effective teams requires communication and mutual cooperation. You
will be effective in building effective teams by implementing effective strategies
such as those listed below to improve communication. This will increase morale
and employee satisfaction.
Page | 19
In the following, we explain some of the key areas where organizations can
enhance and improve communication between their teams.
Include everyone: make sure that the communication lines are always
open. Search and actively promote progress reports and project updates.
This is especially important when it comes to remote personnel.
Listen and show empathy – Communication is a two-way process and if
you don’t listen and don’t encourage dialogue with the other party, no job or
person can survive for a long time. Listening shows respect and allows you
to become familiar with extraordinary problems that you may have to solve
as an employer.
Define Objectives and Expectations – Managers should provide clear and
accessible goals for teams and individuals that define exactly what is
required for a particular project and that all of the team is aware of the
objectives of the project, the department and the workplace as a whole.
Send your message clearly – Make sure your message is clear and
accessible to the intended audience. To do this, it is important that you
speak clearly and politely – to convey your message clearly without
confusion or offence.
Choose your medium carefully – Once you’ve created your message, you
need to make sure it’s in the best possible format. While face-to-face
communication is the best way to build trust with employees, it is not
always an option. Take time to decide if the information provided on a
printed copy works better than an email or whether a general note is
sufficient.
Interpersonal Skills
Interpersonal skills refer to the ability to communicate or interact well with
other people. In business lexicon, it means the set of abilities enabling a person
to interact positively and work effectively with others.
It is the process by which people exchange information, feelings, and meaning
through verbal and non-verbal messages: it is face-to-face communication.
In the absence of effective interpersonal communication among employees
themselves, between the management and the employees, a business
organization fails to ensure its smooth functioning and gradually runs away
from realizing its objectives.
Interpersonal communication skills are necessary prerequisites for enhancing
productivity and continuity of the workforce within an organization. Employees
with good interpersonal skills are likely to be more productive and permanent
than those with poor interpersonal skills because the former displays
propensity to project a positive attitude and look for solutions to problems.

times that that the most productive team has people who have team members
with good listening skills.
Sometimes the topic of discussion may be interesting but the speaker is unable
to grab your attention, or you may be unable to comprehend because of lack of
knowledge of the topic or the vocabulary or language of the speaker.

Page
effectively. However, even if there is motivation and interest, there might be| 28
some barriers that affect our ability to listen well.
We will discuss the barriers to effective listening in our subsequent sections.
1. LINGUISTIC/SEMANTIC BARRIERS
a. UNFAMILIAR VOCABULARY
Words used by the speaker may not be familiar to you. The speaker may use
difficult words and jargons. As a result, you cannot comprehend what the
speaker says.
The speaker is too fast. There are very few pauses and the rhythm that might
not be familiar to you. You fail to recognize familiar words because of
contractions, reductions, linking. For example, the speaker says, “I scream” and
you hear “ice-cream”.
A person who pays attention to sound structure would recognize that a rapidly
spoken “Idrankitfirst” could mean either “I drank it first” or “I’d rank it first.”
You should be able to recognize whether it is “I drank it first” or “I’d rank it
first” from the context. Sometimes the speaker implies something but does not
overtly express it. “That would be all, thank you” is a polite and indirect way of
telling someone you do not need their services anymore instead of the more
direct ‘You may leave now”. You guess the meaning from the context though
the speaker does not overtly express what he or she wants.
You lose track if you concentrate on each and every word the speaker says,
especially if you need to do it for a long period. As a result, you may
understand the meaning of almost all the words but do not get the gist. You do
not distinguish the important information from the unimportant.
2. SOCIO-CULTURAL BARRIERS
The speaker’s accent and pronunciation of words are not familiar to you
because of difference in cultures between you and the speaker.
b. Unfamiliar Subject
The subject may not be familiar to you because you are not familiar with a
particular culture or are unaware of the lifestyle of a particular society.
3. Psychological Barriers
It is not a bad idea to know the purpose of your listening. But you may form
opinions about the speaker even before he or she speaks.
You may make assumptions about the subject to be spoken about and draw
conclusions even before the speaker speaks. This may block your mind and as
a result you will not be able to listen.
You may not listen if you do not have any interest in the speaker’s topic.
Day dreaming and a wandering mind may prevent you from listening.
d. Prejudice
You may refuse to listen to something, which goes against your ideas and
beliefs. You hear only what you want to hear.

You may be too far away from the speaker or too close to the speaker to be
able to hear clearly.
Right People
People who are adept in spoken and written language should be given top
priority at the time of recruitment in any organization.
Proper training for enhancing effective communicating skills of the
newcomers and also of the existing employees should be ensured
regularly.
People drafting communication content should be well-versed in spoken
and written language.
Right Language
Right Presentation
Avoid stuffing the message with silly errors like ‘loose’ in place of ‘lose’;
‘there’ in place of ‘their’; ‘too’ in place of ‘to’, etc. Always edit and
spellcheck the content before its finalization.

What most people often forget
is that there’s fine line between
the comfort and
professionalism.
Page | 37
For this unit, we will be discussing the different attitudes and actions that are
expected of you in the workplace such as work etiquette and common organization
guidelines.
Here are some of the proper communication etiquette for the office:
Communication skills and etiquette is one of the most important assets a person
could have. Effective communication can always make or break a business so,
always practice your communication skills and etiquette and you’ll have less
problems in the long run.
Page | 38
WORK PLACE ETIQUETTE – is a code that governs the expectations of social
behavior in a workplace. This code is put in place to “respect and protect time, people
and processes.” There is no universal agreement about a standard work etiquette,
which may vary from one environment to another
VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Body language communicates more than just what is said. Gestures, facial
expressions, posture and physical contact are also powerful forms of
communication. Maintain eye contact and avoid distracting mannerisms such as
fidgeting, playing with hair, tapping feet or chewing gum.
Page | 39
Here are the top workplace etiquette rules that everyone should follow:
When you first meet someone professionally, you should always stand and
shake their hand with a smile, maintaining eye contact. People who don’t
make eye contact can be viewed as rude, dishonest or unconfident, which
are definitely traits you don’t want to be attributed to you.
2. Dress code
Your clothing and how you appear to others are actually an integral form
of non-verbal communication that people use to assess your
professionalism. Being smartly dressed is also well known to boost
productivity and motivate others around you. As a general rule, it’s better
to be overdressed than underdressed. If you’re meeting and greeting a tie
and jacket can always be removed for a more casual look. If you’re unsure
of what dress code would be suitable, the safest bet would be to opt for
classic business dress with colors such as black, blue, grey or white.
During meetings, phones should all be kept on silent and out of sight at all
times, as you should be fully engaged in the conversation. Similarly,
browsing through your phone or even checking it is often received badly
when interacting with customers, so the best thing to do is wait until you
are on a break.
4. Online etiquette
and once you have become more acquainted, you can then start
addressing them on a first name basis.
Page | 40
5. Be respectful
Sharing a workplace with others means that it’s inevitable you’ll engage in
conversation and most people enjoy the company of their coworkers.
When engaging in conversation with others in the office, it’s sometimes
easy to forget that you’re in a professional setting and that other people
are working, so keep your volume as low as possible to prevent
disturbances
6. Table manners
There are many rules to be aware of when dining with fellow professionals,
but some of the fundamentals include: never talk with your mount full and
keep you phone out of sight at all times. Try to order something similar to
what they have and don’t go for the most expensive meal on the menu
It’s important to have polite, friendly phone etiquette when answering the
phone, especially if you’re speaking to a stranger or talking in a
workplace. When answering the phone, it’s important to know how to
answer properly so you don’t start the conversation off on a bad foot.
Answer the phone politely by speaking clearly, focusing on the call, and
maintaining professionalism if you’re in a workplace environment.
B. Even if you have caller ID and think it’s a work friend calling,
someone could have borrowed their phone. Answering the phone
with “Yeah, what?” might give callers the wrong impression of you.
A. Many offices have their own scripting for answering the phone, so
make sure you follow the rule your company has set out. If you’re
not sure of your company’s phone scripting, ask your supervisor.
4. Nicely ask who’s calling if you don’t know. Often, the person will not only
give you their name but also provide information about why they’re calling. If you
don’t have Caller ID, didn’t recognize the number, or didn’t hear what the person on
the other line said, prompt them again by saying “May I ask who’s calling?”

A. If the person you’re speaking to asks you to raise your voice, you
can speak a little louder. Otherwise, keep your voice at a normal
conversational level
6. Avoid using slang or profane language. When you’re answering the phone
at work, you represent your company to whoever you’re speaking with on the phone.
Speak politely and avoid using slang, cursing, or bad language. Even if the
conversation becomes heated and the person, you’re speaking with swears, maintain
your composure and be polite
