The need for proper communication


Communication in the verbal or nonverbal form is very important in the work environment.
Verbal communication comprises oral communication and written communication while nonverbal communication comprises the following three elements:
  • Appearance (clothing, hairstyle, neatness, use of cosmetics),
  • Body Language (facial expressions, gestures, postures),
  • Sounds (voice tone, volume, speech rate).
It is important to note that no business can run efficiently without effective communication at ALL levels. The Co-op Ed student must therefore show that he/she is well adept with the art of communication as a means of marketing him/herself.
The video below explores issues relating to both forms of communication.  From the video even what is deemed as proper communication may not be so proper/right!  Please watch and share your views with us.
