Other than the existing challenges, one major hurdle the companies face is inefficient communication. This seems to be a major problem for many of the companies in today’s world. With today’s technology, there are multiple ways to eliminate this problem.

Let’s take a look at the 5 major reasons why communication is failing at work.

Unnecessary Time Consumption

The term “communication” is a synonym to simplicity in business if executed well. Communication is key for a successful business but, it has to be done in the most convenient and efficient way possible. What if, you’ve got to wait 2 hours for a simple reply from your co-workers on your project, or What if the person that you need to communicate with isn’t at their desk or out of town? does your work need to be put on hold till their arrival? This is not only inconnivent for the employers but it also affects the company on a large scale.

Too Expensive

Flying to another continent to sort a simple issue, doesn’t seem like the best option for the company. If all can be done and dusted over a touch on your computer or phone, it will save the company a lot of money. In-expensive communication should also be effcient for the employers to go by.

Clear Cut Picture

Without proper communication and a clear picture of their “to-dos” the job is always half done. A clear picture for the employers is as important as electricity for the computers. Due to the lack of communication, the employers suffer a loss of knowledge and are not able to perform.

Lack Of Trust

There’s a void of trust within the co-workers due to the lack of communication within the company. Since almost all projects are not handled by one single employe, there are a team of people working towards success but this also means interdependency amongst the employers. Without proper communication, there can be a lot of misunderstandings within them.

Specific Goal

Most employers do not know their task or, are not clear as to what is required of them. Specific instructions are not conveyed in a manner that is suitable to the employee. This results in confusion and a person fails to handle his task efficiently.

What can be done to improve the communication at work?

Emailing is obviously a traditional way of communication but the user knows it is time-consuming. Other apps that can be used for communication might not have the right features suitable for the particular work format of the company. With an app like Mongrov’s Work Management Solution, which is available both on Web and Mobile, one does not need to worry about these simple “blockers” in his daily tasks as all the team members are in the same page and can work as a team to execute work.
