🎁 Unwrap Your Best Conversations: The Holiday Gift Every HR Leader and Executive Needs

Why Poor Communication Is Costing Your Organization

Did you know that every avoided conversation in the workplace costs organizations an average of $7,500? Whether it’s an employee hesitating to ask for clarity, a leader sidestepping a difficult discussion, or a team member holding back feedback, the ripple effects of poor communication are undeniable—and costly.

If you’re a leader looking to reduce these costs and improve your team’s communication skills, this holiday season is the perfect time to make a change.

A Real-Life Story of Transforming Workplace Communication

A few years ago, I worked with an HR leader managing a talented but reserved team. While they excelled at strategic planning, the team often struggled to speak up in meetings or address challenges openly. This leader shared a story with me about a misunderstanding over workload that spiraled into missed deadlines, employee frustration, and a client nearly walking away.

“I felt like I failed them,” they admitted. “If I had just created a space where they felt comfortable addressing the issue earlier, we could’ve avoided so much stress.”

By implementing strategies to empower communication, this leader transformed their team’s dynamic. Within months, morale improved, productivity soared, and collaboration thrived.

What would it look like for you and your team if you got clear on where the missteps were happening and you started to make small changes in your everyday conversations?

The Cost of Poor Communication in the Workplace

Poor communication isn’t just a productivity issue—it’s a financial one. Avoided conversations lead to:

• Decreased team morale
• Increased employee turnover
• Missed deadlines and lost revenue

As we approach 2025, it’s time to address these challenges head-on by gifting your team with the tools they need to succeed.

3 Simple Steps to Improve Workplace Communication

Here are three strategies you can start using today to improve communication in your organization:

1. Model Vulnerability and Authenticity 
   Show your team it’s okay to be human. Share your own challenges in communication and how you work through them.
2. Practice Active Listening
   Create intentional spaces where team members feel heard and valued. Mirror back to them their concerns when they share them with you and ask thoughtful questions and get curious.
3. Shift Your Energy
   Before tough conversations, check your mindset. Are you focused on serving your team, or are you stuck in self-judgment and self-doubt? You want to move that energy and take control of the sensations that are coming up for you in your body. Shift toward movement, curiosity and acceptance.
