It's a simple idea, with a complex follow-through: workplace communication.
If employees feel as though their communication isn't prioritized, it could decrease productivity. This may be an easy fix by implementing the right technology for your business.
DEFINE THE PROBLEM
Assess why your team feels as though they aren't being heard. Are the right messages getting sent to the right places? Is there a defined process for real-time communication? Is your technology keeping up with your communication processes?
FIND A SOLUTION
Depending on the problems you face, you must collaborate with your IT team to find the right solution for your business. Define your communication goals, and use those goals to implement, redefine, or improve technology in the workplace. Maybe you need a new server to share projects instantaneously, maybe you need a new internal communication system. It will all depend on the issues you define with your team.
START THE CONVERSATION
After you have implemented a communication solution, collaborate with your team again to see if your original problems have been fixed. Start the conversation to inspire others to follow your lead. Keep addressing and fixing internal communication processes until you have the technology that best compliments your organization.
It's a simple idea, with a complex follow-through. The importance of streamlined organizational communication can make or break the happiness of your team. Technology can help to alleviate miscommunication if implemented to fit your tech needs.
