In the last few years, the approach to work has changed dramatically. We don’t need to work from 9 to 5 (or at least not everyone), we don’t need cubicles as much as we did in the past, and we don’t need (want) to climb the corporate ladder. Flexible hours, open spaces, and diplomatic structures are the new way of life. However, there is one thing that hasn’t changed – the need for a good team made up of people with different work styles.

Workplace communications can be fraught with difficulties. Office politics, personality clashes, and other factors can mean that communications can sometimes break down.

A vacation offers you the chance to revitalize and renew your mind and body. Vacations offer us a change of scenery, a thrill, and a means of escaping routine and fatigue.

While vacations also trigger your productivity as you return with a fresh mind, Chanty does the same for you too.

Good communication skills are NOT the same as people’s skills. Sometimes, these two types of skills don’t go hand in hand. An employee might be able to express their ideas and opinions clearly and properly but still fail to form connections with colleagues. No matter how brilliant this employee might be, the lack of interpersonal skills can stunt their growth. Worse, failure to communicate within the workplace can also impact business growth and may cause imposter syndrome among employees.

Have you ever completed a complex task or process successfully, and had a work colleague ask you how you did it several months later? It can be worse if you don’t remember every step that helped you complete it. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your organization had some form of process so people could learn from others’ successes (and mistakes)? By documenting key processes, you can ensure that knowledge sharing becomes a reality.

I started my marketing career as an SEO analyst. Back in 2010, the process of backlink building was fairly easy. I’d see people putting together a press release and distributing it to hundreds of no-name platforms. Some would leave a slew of useless comments peppered with links beneath a blog post. Others would write a low-quality article that looked more like a random bunch of words put together, turn it into a link cemetery and call it a guest post.

Communication is the process of sharing information, ideas, and opinions between two or more people. It makes teams bond stronger, get to know each other, and find solutions to problems if there are any. Effective communication and identification of nonverbal cues when having meetings or hot discussions are essential. We often try to hide our emotions, feelings, and ideas but our bodies still send some subtle messages.
