Productivity and Communication; Keys to Success

Communication increases understanding of goals and objectives, and the realization of increased self-esteem through performance appraisal.
Productivity is enhanced through positive communication in a vertical manner, which is communication between the supervisors and the employee. When the supervisors communicate positively and in the process protect the self-esteem of each employee and approach each communication encounter with mutual respect, employees are motivated to perform at a higher level because they feel good about themselves and the job they are doing. This positive communication allows the employee to perform at a higher level because they do not feel threatened and they understand their role as a valuable part of the organizational process. It also increases productivity horizontally, meaning that ideas can be communicated between and among employees. Positive, goal oriented, and regular communication between a supervisor and an employee creates an atmosphere of trust where both feel comfortable speaking plainly and exchanging ideas and suggestions. This allows for stimulation and organizational inventiveness and ingenuity. All concerned know that they are contributing to the success of the organization and produce a feeling of satisfaction.
