What is Poor Communication Costing your Team?

Poor communication costs businesses millions of dollars due to low productivity, conflict, and sta turnover. To be able to do any kind of work together, we need to communicate. We need to learn the skills to be understood and to understand what is being said to us. Any breakdown in communication can have significant costs to your business. The wrong product shipped to the client, a disagreement between two team members due to a misunderstanding, colleagues who don’t trust each other, feelings that are hurt, a team member being told the wrong thing… All these can occur as a result of a problem in communication and hurt the reputation of your brand. The costs are quantifiable, too. The Holmes Report reviewed 400 corporations and found that in the largest corporations in the U.S. and the U.K., the price for communication barriers were around $62 million in productivity in each corporation. If your business involves more than one person, in any capacity, whether as an employee or a client, you need to be able to communicate effectively. Communication allows you to engage people and build strong relationships. Ineffective communication is harmful to your business… Let’s take a look!

Every Team’s Big Need

Do you sense that communication styles and differences contribute to problems in your work place? Today the workplace is filled with people with diversity in age, cultural backgrounds, personal values, communication preferences and more. We speak to employers from all types of industries that exclaim that it’s difficult to find committed, capable and character-centred employees. Some employees say that their boss or managers are not ethical or that they lack character as well. Character trumps a person’s education, charisma, social standing, skills and even authenticity.
