Respond to the following in no less than 125 words. Describe why communication is a valuable workplace skill.

Good communication is an essential tool in achieving productivity and maintaining strong working relationships at all levels of an organization. Employers who invest time and energy into delivering clear lines of communication will rapidly build trust amongst employees, leading to increases in productivity, output and morale in general. Poor communication in the workplace will inevitably lead to unmotivated staff that may begin to question their own confidence in their abilities and inevitably in the organization. With good communication the delivery of your message will be perceived as clear and concise. With good delivery of your message you keep everyone involved, but you have to remember communication is a two way process and no company or individual will survive long if it doesn’t listen and encourage dialogue with the other party.
