Effective working relationships depend on constructive communication. Communication is the creation, transmission, interpretation and use of information. The meaning of a communication is more dependent on how people receive the message, rather than what the communicator intended. Improving the way we communicate can have many benefits and is a key skill in today’s workplace.
