Communication plays a vital role in organizations. There are various types of communication based on the channel used and style, including different communication channels like verbal, non-verbal, written, and visual. Listening is also an important skill in the workplace as it allows employees to understand instructions, feedback, and ideas from others. Various measures can improve listening, like reducing distractions, asking clarifying questions, and focusing on the speaker. Organizations utilize different communication networks like formal and informal networks, as well as vertical, horizontal, and grapevine networks to share information across departments and levels of the organization.
