Robert asks…
Can you re word this assignment topic for me?
“Using specific examples, discuss the impact of poor communication skills in both the workplace and home environment. Describe effective communication skills and consider how they can facilitate positive change.”
I just need this to be re worded so I can understand it better, it was an assignment given to us over the holidays so I have no way of talking to my teacher.
Thank you!

Why is it important to communicate well? How can giving the wrong message to someone cause problems at work and within your family? How can you make your points clearly and be respectful of others as well? How can good communication make life easier?

Sally Smith answers:
SOME BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN THE WORKPLACE ARE:
LANGUAGE/CULTURAL/RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES
Creating trust, showing respect, receiving respect, give & take on both sides to balance situation. Gain support from relevant authority.
BULLYING.
Firstly, ask them to stop as their behaviour is unacceptable,
point out to management that no-one should suffer humiliation, discomfort or intimidation. Understand the form of your grievance & proceed to management.
GENDER/AGE DIFFERENCES.
Acknowledge that different ages & genders DO have different values due to their covering different times of maturing. Be prepared to accept some value in both sets of ideas.
HAZARDS & PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT.
Approach the relevant Occupational Health & Safety representative with your grievances in writing, preferably supported by fellow workers.
LEVEL OF EDUCATION.
The person not as well educated is not necessarily less intelligent. With this fact in mind effort to assure the position is within the capabilities of the worker, or would be with training.
(Hope this helps a little.)
