WAY TO WELLNESS #59
An organization is most likely to focus on communication when there’s tension or conflict in the workplace because regardless of the issue, communication is usually an underlying factor.
Conflict typically results from:
- Misunderstanding/feeling misunderstood.
- Not understanding how others communicate.
- Someone feeling their emotional needs are not being met or are being disregarded.
If an employee feels misunderstood, disrespected, taken advantage of, or disregarded, then it may lead to tension or conflict. A better-communicating team lays the groundwork for expressing and understanding needs, which also increases employee engagement and performance.
Communicating is more than just talking, though. It’s about connecting with people. One of the most powerful benefits of better communication in the workplace is more engaged employees. Employees are more engaged in their work and can better align with company objectives and goals when a culture of good communication is established in a team or workplace.
