Why are Workplace Communication Skills Important?

A survey of 400 large corporations estimated that poor workplace communication cost an average of $62.4 million per year (per company). The biggest contributor here was company leadership failing to properly communicate with employees on things like company policies, business processes, or their job function.

This same survey showed that companies with leaders who are effective communicators had 47% higher total returns to shareholders over the last five years compared to those with leaders who were the least effective communicators.

The takeaway? Communication skills are key for leaders. If you are wondering where to start with communication training in your organization, it's the top. If you are a leader or manager, improving your communication skills is likely to have a real and immediate positive impact.

However, anyone can benefit from building communication skills both in the workplace and externally with clients and users. In fact, employers rated communication skills as most important quality for candidates in a study by NACE. Not only will better communication skills help you in your current role, they will help you in the future. By taking a course from a respected provider, employers have proof that you have improved yourself in this area.

What Will you Learn in Communication Classes?

Communication skills courses are generally specific to either an audience or topic. For example, some cover the most useful communication skills and techniques for leaders and executives, auditors, or IT professionals. Choosing a course targeted towards your position helps ensure that course content will be as relevant for you as possible.

Communication skills training on specific topics often has a more general audience and is focused on training you on specific skills related to communication. For example, you might be great at communicating clearly with colleagues, but want to develop your ability to negotiate with suppliers or influence stakeholders.
