- Common workplace communication methods include emails, text messages, voicemails, notes, and face-to-face meetings.
Types of Workplace Communication
- Verbal Communication: Presenting thoughts and conveying messages using words. An example is a manager providing constructive criticism about employee performance in a meeting.
- Nonverbal Communication: Transferring information through body language, facial expressions, gestures, and more. Eye contact, appropriate posture, smiling and focusing on the employer are examples.
- Visual Communication: Using visual elements (data, graphs, presentations) to get a message across, inspire change, or evoke emotions. Presenting sales data via graphs is an example.
- Written Communication: Any message using written words. An example is a secretary writing meeting minutes.
