and Barriers of
Communication
Linguistic Barrier
The employees of an organization
face language barriers when the
organization opens its branches in
various regions (Abdin, 2017).
This linguistic barriers don’t let
them communicate with each
other properly. In this case, they
can’t express their thoughts with
others properly.
Gender Difference
In some cases, female employees don’t
feel comfortable to communicate with
male employees. Moreover, the male
employees also feel shy to communicate
and work with female employees. This
difference creates a lot of problem for an
organization.
Conflict within
Organisation
Another common barrier is conflict
within an organisation. When the
employees get involved in a
conflict, they become unwilling to
talk to the opposing (Could, 2013).
Consequently, there arises a barrier
to communication within the whole
organisation.
Interpersonal Barrier
Sometimes, the employees feel
under confident and so they
feel shy to talk to others. In
addition, the employees with
poor self-esteem also don’t
want to communicate with
others and try to limit
themselves.
“Business Communication
is very
relationship among the employees and
management of an organization. Moreover,
it helps to build a good work environment.”
Psychological Barrier
Some employees consider a specific
group of employees as inferior. On
the other hand, some employees
don’t want to communicate with
employees of another religion.
Therefore, communication problem
arises seriously. Therefore, these
kinds of employees get under
confident.
Physical Separation
In times of Covid-19
pandemic, all employees
needed to work
separately. This
separation has increased
shyness among the
employees. Therefore,
they are unprepared to
work with their
colleagues again.
Organisational
Structure and Policy
Rigid organizational structure
makes it difficult for the
employees to communicate with
each other and with the
management (Golen, 2017).
In this case, the employees don’t
get the opportunity to express
their ideas and opinions with the
coworkers and the management.
On the other hand, a friendly
organizational structure helps the
employees become more
productive and confident.
 Overcoming
Communication Barriers
Hygiene and Safety
Through ensuring proper hygiene
and safety system, an organization
can reduce the anxiety of the
employees about Covid-19 in the
workplace. In this case, they
would be more confident and
happier.
Physical Distance
Due to Covid-19, Brit-Tech assures
the employees that it will create a
proper distance in its workplace so
that the employees feel safe in their
workplace.
Importance of
Cultural Awareness
within an Organisation
• Cultural awareness is very important for understanding the
barriers in communication (Abi-Hashem, 2015). Moreover,
when an organization can understand the reasons behind the
barriers, it can find out the solutions to overcome these
barriers.
• Understanding cultural awareness creates a bridge which
helps an organization build a strong bonding among
employees from several regions.
• Moreover, Baltes, Hernandez and Collins, (2015)
mentioned that through cultural awareness, an organization
can increase respect for all employees.
• Finally, the uniqueness gets appreciated in through cultural
awareness because everyone starts to love and respect each
other (Baltes, Hernandez and Collins, 2016).
Body Language
The company will focus on teaching
proper body language to the
employees (Lewert, 2016).
Therefore, it is willing to ensure
proper gestures and posture for all
the employees.
Attractive Organisational
Structure
Brit-tech promises that it will ensure a
flat organizational structure. In this
case, the employees will enjoy more
authoritative power to make various
small decisions for the company
(Gnutzmann, 2014).
"Cultural awareness is extremely important for
creating
workplace."
