Content: The benefits of improving internal communication in your organization are numerous. According to a study conducted by Optum, businesses that maintain an open channel of communication between coworkers and managers are more productive and see higher rates of employee and customer satisfaction and lower rates of turnover and absenteeism, just to name a few. Effective internal communication has only gotten more important since the COVID-19 pandemic prompted an increase in remote work (in 2020, 58 percent of U.S. workers said they worked from home at least part of the time). With teams becoming increasingly decentralized, good internal communication practices are essential to keep teams aligned, prevent duplicate work or wasted time searching for information, and help employees stay engaged. These six best practices will help you improve internal communication at your company, no matter where everyone is working. 1. Demonstrate empathy. No matter who you are or what your occupation may be, we all have experienced the negative impact stress in our personal life can have on our work life. As a manager, it’s important that you show your employees that you know they have lives outside of work, that you care, and that you hear what they have to say. Your employees will feel valued and more satisfied in their work, which will lead to greater productivity and an overall positive environment.
