The 5 Keys to Effective Communication in The Workplace?
June is effective communication month which we believe should walk hand in hand with other June celebrations like Pride Month and Juneteenth!
Communication is inevitable and often times we find ourselves in miscommunication spats with our friends, family, significant others, and often our co-workers.
Communication is inevitable and often times we find ourselves in miscommunication spats with our friends, family, significant others, and often our co-workers.
Found in a recent study by The Economist Intelligence Unit, poor communication can lead to delayed or failed projects, low morale among employees, increased stress, missed performance goals, and hundreds of thousands of dollars lost in sales. So, what are the keys to having successful communication in the workplace?
1. Be HOT: Honest, Open, and Transparent
2. Be Empathetic
3. Remain Respectful
4. Be Accountable for your Actions, Regardless of the Outcome
5. Just Do it!

Diversity And Inclusion In The Workplace |
With nearly 12 million Americans identifying as LGTBQ, it is of the utmost importance as a company to create an inclusive workplace culture. According to Forbes, there are four ways that can help your company do exactly that:
1. Train on Inclusivity in Language
2. Hire an Inclusivity Specialist and Run Workshops to Educate
3. Be Aware of the Do’s and Dont’s
4. Update Company Policies and Ensure Inclusive Benefits
If you’re serious about being inclusive in your company, we have a Diversity and Inclusion policy written by Liles Law that we would like to share with you. If you would like your very own copy to put in your handbook, please click the button below and let us know!
