Examples of Communication Problems in the Workplace

  • Language Barriers:  A diverse workplace has many benefits for a business such as different solutions for issues and different view in the international market. However, language barriers will occur as a problem for communication in a diverse workplace. It happens when there are many people with different culture and ethnic backgrounds and ages, experiences. It will surely create misunderstandings that make communication ineffective.
  • Personal Issues: Effective communication in a workplace is established by professional agreements in order to aid the operation of the company. When there are personal issues involved, it will affect the company communication and it takes a long time to resolve. 
  • Lack of Feedback: Communication without feedback is harmful for a company. Employees and managerial staff should provide feedback to improve the quality of information. Otherwise, the information provided will be a challenge for a department to analyze. 
  • New Hires: When new employees are hired into the organization, it can generate new communication challenge. Companies that do not accommodate communication training to their new-hires will face a problem in proper communication style.

  1. One should not brink personal issues in working environment. Once you come to office then forget everything what happened in your home, whether good or bad, one should work with mind free from personal issues.
