Improving communication and information sharing

Abstract

Communication is an important skill for every modern learner to master. Advances in digital media, changing career landscapes, and greater competition in colleges and workplaces make improving learners’ communication skills a must. Cramming tips the night before a big interview won’t do the job if they’re trying to make an impression in the collaborative workplaces of the future. When it comes to acquiring indispensable communication skills, there’s no time like the present. As their teacher, you can follow these 8 strategies to enhance learners’ speaking and writing abilities, no matter their age. It’s an odd, but fairly common phenomenon. Information flows pretty well from the top down, but information from the ground level doesn’t often make it up to company leaders. Similarly, teams silo information instead of exchanging it. Communication doesn’t happen the way it should, and that can lead to short-term frustrations as well as long-term setbacks. The good news is companies can make small changes to significantly improve communication and the flow of information.
