Barriers to Communication

A big part of an organization’s culture is the communication process.

Effective communication is important for quality care delivery and to enhance employees performance to meet expectations. While people engage in sharing information all the time, the communication process may not be effective because of certain barriers. Some communication barriers identified by Hitt, Miller, Colella (2015) include:

1. Information distortion or suppression

2. Use of jargon

3. Time pressure

4. Cross-cultural barriers

5. Network breakdown.

Can you discuss some strategies that can be used to reduce or remove communication barriers?
