A great manager develops strong communication with their employees. This is so important to creating a better office culture and improving your relationships with your employees.
Strong communication with your employees has several benefits, including:
- Improved employee morale
- Increased productivity
- Increased employee loyalty
- Decrease in mistakes and errors due to miscommunication
3 Easy Steps to Improve Communication with Your Employees
- Have Face-to-Face Communication
Over the last several years, offices have become equipped with a variety of technological ways to stay in touch and communicate, so face-to-face communication has decreased dramatically. While these different tools, like email or direct messaging apps, have helped make some things more efficient, they have also hindered other benefits of communication.
Incorporate face-to-face communication to help your employees strengthen their work relationships, increase collaboration, increase trust and respect, and avoid miscommunication.
- Keep Employees in the Loop
Your employees want to know about changes or developments around the office. By communicating with your employees regarding important developments within your department, or even on the company level, you help your employees feel valued.
- Provide Opportunities for Feedback
Meetings are a great time to collect feedback from your employees; however, it’s not always enough. Be open to feedback at all times. When your employees know they can approach you in a pinch, or share their opinions and ideas, it opens the lines of communication and builds a cohesive team.
