In today's digital age, communication can be easily implemented in several formats, but it's also important to retain the ability to verbally communicate as well. Pan Atlantic believes standalone communication channels need to be utilized in conjunction with skillful and tactful communication strategies from management, because effective communication can be the difference between a business succeeding or failing.
Here are Pan Atlantic's 4 tips for improving communication in the workplace:
Lead by example
Pan Atlantic suggest that first-time business owners and budding entrepreneurs may not have developed a skill set that includes clear communication. The firm believes that experienced entrepreneurs understand how demonstrating great communication sets an example to staff, and strongly maintains that employing 'open door' policies are best to ensure all lines of communication remain wide open.
Stick to company mission / values
Sticking to a company mission statement is extremely important, as employees need to be able to understand the overarching goals in order to all sing from the same hymn sheet, as it were. Successful companies are able to align mission, culture, and brand to empower high performance and communication among individuals and teams. Pan Atlantic believes that through this strategic direction mission-driven leaders are able to foster employee engagement and enhance organizational performance, and subsequent business success. The firm advises publishing manifesto and best practice documentation online for reference purposes.
Avoid unnecessary meetings
Pan Atlantic acknowledges the importance of regular business meetings, but emphasize the importance of utilizing other communication tools to accomplish information dissemination without having to interrupt the workflow of staff. The agency believes that there are few things more frustrating at work than a pointless meeting, and not knowing when to draw the line is a widespread business liability and communicative malpractice.
Dismantle the hierarchy
Hierarchies are often responsible for communications jams, and Pan Atlantic instills greater belief in the communication methods administered in team structures. The firm argue that fostering a company culture in which teams are motivated to succeed together rather than individuals can only be beneficial for communication processes. Team structures are likely to incorporate less bottle-necked decision-making, and the accessible leadership that ensues encourages fluid communications leading to faster results and added adaptability (Forbes, 2016).
