Module Description
The module has been structured to make the learners aware about the concept of communication in the workplace. The only thing that connects one person with the other is the communication. Verbal or non-verbal, it is the communication that helps people comprehend the objective or agenda of the conversation. As simple as the concept looks, when the communication becomes a part of professional outlook, it has to be understood very clearly. Hence, the main focus of this module will be to uncover the details about workplace communication, its modes, and barriers. Following the understanding of the basics of the concept, the learners will be made aware about the organizational structures and different management styles and its link with the organizational communication. Lastly, the module will be completed by enlightening the learners about the technology and its influence on managing the workplace communication effectively.
