Digital communications in the workplace
Digital communications in the office

Before the widespread use of computers, the invention of the Internet and the creation of smartphones, written communication in the workplace was slower, more civilized and less frequent. People either spoke directly to one another or sent letters. 

 

Today, digital is the favoured form of communication in the workplace, and employees are receiving and sending written messages at a rapid pace. So the question is - how do you ensure the increased quantity of digital communications doesn't sacrifice quality?

Effective communication in a culturally diverse workplace 

Communicating in a diverse workforce

At its core, cultural diversity is about accepting and respecting people's differences and understanding that everyone is unique. The same can be said for communication.  

 

To do it well, you need to understand your audience and craft your message in a way that will make the most sense to them. When that audience is culturally diverse, the challenge is to understand their differences and be sensitive to how your message will be received.
