Open communication in the workplace leads to honest employee feedback, which increases employee happiness and productivity. When people feel heard and understood and like true communication is a workplace priority, they feel motivated and confident enough to do their best work.
The best way to improve workplace communication is to use the Amazing Workplace® Platform after acknowledging that honest employee feedback can only happen in a safe environment, free of potential punishment. Employees want and need a safe space in which to openly communicate and give feedback. Using our platform to gather information provides that safe space for employees to communicate openly their thoughts and ideas without fear of punishment.
We designed our platform in a way that it is impossible for an employee’s identity to be connected to the answers provided. It is important that your employees feel safe to answer questions without fear of humiliation or punishment. Our technology ensures that your employees can safely answer questions without fear of someone later finding out their identity.
What is Communication, and How Does it Create Happy Employees?
Communication is one of the 9 Happiness Drivers that Amazing Workplace has determined are essential to success, motivation, and productivity.
Communication is the process of sharing an idea or thought and getting understanding on the other end. When someone understands, they can be said to "know" something. The origin of the word “communicate” comes from Latin and means "to share something and get understanding."
At work, communication is the sharing of ideas with the goal of understanding. When understanding is not achieved, the result is confusion. Confusion is simply defined as a lack of understanding. When something is not understood, partially understood, or even mostly understood, there exists some amount of confusion.
Confusion is the largest source of mistakes in a workplace. Confusion can lead to feelings of frustration, uncertainty, slight upset, a desire to do something else, and even people quitting their jobs.
Employee happiness increases when employees feel that their opinions and ideas are listened to and heard, which only happens with open communication. Employees who don’t feel appreciated by their workplace will leave sooner or later.
Workplaces that implement the Amazing Workplace® Platform, listen, and take action based on survey results experience employee happiness levels of over two times higher than workplaces that do not.
