Is your team’s collaboration suffering?
Did you know that in 2023, communicating with co-workers takes up an astonishing 72% of the work week?
If you’re visiting this page, then you have perhaps experienced the impacts of when that communication is ineffective, such as failure to complete projects, low employee morale, missed performance goals, or lost sales to name a few.
By the numbers, a recent report showed that ineffective communication is costing large companies as much as $15,000 per employee per year.
And unfortunately, companies are not tapping into the deep reserve of team member creativity that is required (and available!) to create the innovations needed to adapt to our rapidly changing world and transform the future.
Does this sound like your org?
If so, then perhaps you’re wondering what can be done to turn things around and help your org reach its full potential.
“As long as employees remain silent, companies will lose money on flawed projects, innovations that never happen, and subpar customer service.”

What’s getting in the way of your team’s communication?
Several factors may be hindering your team members from achieving their full communication potential.
Many that you may not even be aware of…or you might even find very surprising.
They tend to fall into three categories:
- Discomfort with the sound of their voice
- Lack of confidence
- Underdeveloped communication skills
With more than 15 years of experience collaborating with over a thousand employees across the entire high-tech ecosystem, from established enterprises to cutting-edge startups, we’ve gained unique insights into the everyday challenges they encounter.
Here’s a glimpse into what they say ->
How do you help them overcome these barriers and find their voices?
Ensuring that your team members feel safe to express themselves is the most important factor. While management plays a crucial role in setting the culture and tone of the group, genuine collaboration is a process that unfolds with the healthy participation of every single person.
You can help your team members develop a more active and self-responsible communication style by:
- Providing Tools for Self-Expression: Ensuring that your team members have the necessary tools to articulate their thoughts and ideas effectively. This creates an environment where their voices can be heard and valued.
- Investing in their Personal Growth: Fostering emotional resilience within your team members is essential. By equipping them with the emotional tools to navigate challenges and setbacks, you empower them to communicate with confidence.
- Infusing Effective Communication Skills and Norms: Empowering your team with the skills and established communication norms that promote open dialogue, understanding, and shared objectives.
By focusing on these key elements, you pave the way for a culture of collaboration that flows naturally and thrives at all levels of your organization.
And that’s just what our workshops and trainings do.
