Clearly Communicating With Employees [news]
If you have employees, getting them to do exactly what you want can be a constant battle (especially when most of us running businesses were never really trained to be managers of people). As our businesses grow and we add employees, our skill set needs to change (unless you move into a larger business structure and can afford professional managers).
Poor communication in your business can lead to inefficiencies, and costly mistakes make for an uncomfortable working environment and high employee turnover. The methods you use will depend on what you need to communicate, the urgency it requires, the time available and your business and office structure.
