Operational areas manage day-to-day tasks and existing products/services, while delivery areas develop new initiatives to meet strategic objectives. Enabling areas like HR and IT support operational and delivery areas. Effective internal communication is needed to share information between these areas, engage employees, and reinforce the business vision so work can be coordinated and the customer experience supported. When internal communication breaks down, information becomes siloed, impacting employee engagement, work quality, and ultimately the customer experience.

Best Practices in Business Writing and CommunicationDMiller83
The document outlines the goals and objectives of a workshop on business writing and communication. It aims to develop strategies for ethical communication, build effective team communication, understand the role of culture in communication, and enhance written communication skills. Specific topics covered include ethical communication principles, promoting ethical conduct, overcoming barriers to teamwork, cultural differences, using technology appropriately, and best practices for proposals, business plans, reports and presentations.
Effective and ethical business communication is essential for transmitting information internally and externally in a way that follows ethical standards and does not offend others. It is dependent on clear, efficient, and honest messaging. Professionalism in communication encompasses written, verbal, visual, and electronic interactions that respect others, adhere to company conduct policies, and are cognizant of time and resources. Intercultural communication requires acknowledging differences to find common ground and universal understanding.
This document outlines best practices for business writing and communication. It discusses the importance of effective communication skills, including reading, writing, listening and nonverbal communication. Global competition, technology changes, and use of teams require higher communication standards. Business writing should be clear, concise, and audience-focused. Formats like emails, reports, presentations, proposals and plans are examined. Cultural awareness and ethics are also important aspects of business communication. Overall, the key is to understand audience and purpose, and apply best practices across all formats of business writing.
I've worked with and among many people who talk about digital transformation as if it were just a case of plugging in a router and attaching some wires. I've heard people get excited about coding, developing new apps and recruiting new skills into the business. I have never once heard about how communication and public relations plays such an important part. It's something I'm hugely passionate about. If you don't have a communication strategy to bring everyone along with you (internally and externally) and buy into the transformation plan, how on earth will you achieve transformation? Communication is key. Effective communication can be the difference between speed and quality. It's an area I want to help more businesses with. Please visit my website www.aura-pr.com to find out more about me, my services and how we can work together. We need to be planning NOW to make the changes and progress for the future.

1. Explain effective communication norms in a business setting
The idea that people need to have feedback, appreciation and information is a good basis for understanding how and why excellent business communication is important and compelling for success. In fact, not only do they need it for appreciation, they need it to continue to be effective and be successful. If we do not give feedback and communicate we will lose our influence and cut into creating successful results. Some of the basic business communication norms include responding to business needs. These needs include returning phone calls, following up on a request, listening intently, appreciative communication, and clear communications with details and directions, doing what you say you will do, remembering what is important to them, and valuing what is most important to them (Thompson, 2009).
Our communication styles and methods are being stretched to the limit by email, technology, lack of time and demands on our ability to do so much in our days.
Email – not only should you be returning emails in a timely way, but you need to set the context each and every time of why the email is important and what information it is that you want to deliver.
Cell phones – the ring tones that are available now are fun outside of the office, networking situations, client lunches, etc. Put them on vibrate or shut them off. Take and make calls when you are with people sparingly. Most people are not interested in listening to your conversations no matter how stimulating you think they might be.
Returning phone calls –Whether you think you have time to return the call or not, find out what people need, make sure you are clear on whether you can help them or not and then get back to your own work. People who return phone calls are trusted and respected. You do not need to make the calls long.
Handshake, body language and eye contact – ask a friend to shake hands with you and then ask them to give you feedback. Firm is good. Learn to look at a person when they
are speaking. A good part of our non verbal communication is our body – watch what your body is saying about you.
Business cards – get one and have them with you at ALL times. Do include an address, email and phone number. Name and what you do – a title is very good. If your company does not provide a business card, get one for yourself anyway.
