How to Avoid Top Miscommunications at Workplace

Miscommunication is the thing when both parties don't agree with each other or they aren't clear about what the other person is looking for.

In a survey on 400 companies with 100,000 employees made by The Cost of Poor Communications, “The average loss per company is $62.4 million per year due to inadequate communication to and between employees”.

In another study from The Economist, “Communication barriers in the modern workplace, 44% of respondents said communication barriers are leading to a delay or failure to complete projects.

Additionally, 31% reported poor communication resulting in low morale, 25% in missed performance goals, and 18% in lost sales”.

Miscommunications can be funny, frustrating, or upsetting. Speak clearly and remove your assumptions if you want to decrease miscommunications with your team.

Always check in with the person to make sure “he or she has” understood. When communicating electronically, be clear, concise, and informative.
