Information Sheet on
Nonverbal Communication in the Workplace

Introduction
The Collins English Dictionary defines non-verbal communication as… those
aspects of communication such as gestures and facial expressions that do not involve
verbal communication but may include non-verbal aspects of speech.
Non-verbal communication is anything that is not said and yet still conveys a
message to the receiver.

1.4 Use appropriate nonverbal communication

Types of Nonverbal Communication

There are types of nonverbal communication. This includes the following:
1. Body language. Body language is the way someone situates their body naturally
depending on the situation, the environment and how they are feeling.
Example: Someone might cross their arms if they are feeling angry or nervous.
2. Movement. The way you move your arms and legs such as walking quickly or slowly,
standing, sitting or fidgeting, can all convey different messages to onlookers.
Example: Sitting still and paying attention in a meeting conveys respect and attention.
3. Posture. The way you sit or stand also can communicate your comfort level,
professionalism and general disposition towards an individual or conversation.
Example: Someone might slouch their shoulders if they feel tired, frustrated or
disappointed.
4. Gestures. While gestures vary widely across communities, they’re generally used both
intentionally and unintentionally to convey information to others.
Example: A “thumbs up” to speak confirmation or that they feel positively about something.
5. Space. Creating or closing distance between yourself and therefore the people around
you’ll also convey messages about your comfort level, the importance of the
conversation, your desire to support or connect with others and more.
Example: You would possibly stand two to three feet faraway from a new contact to respect
their boundaries.
6. Paralanguage: Paralanguage includes the non-language elements of speech, such as
your talking speed, pitch, intonation, volume and more.
Example: You would possibly speak quickly if you’re excited about something.
7. Facial expressions. One of the most common sorts of nonverbal communication is
facial expressions. Using the eyebrows, mouth, eyes and facial muscles to convey are
often very effective when communicating both emotion and knowledge.
Example: Someone might raise their eyebrows and open their eyes widely if they feel
surprised.
8. Eye contact. Strategically using eye content (or lack of eye contact) is an effective
means to communicate your attention and interest.
Example: Looking away from someone and at the ground or your phone may convey
disinterest or disrespect.

6
9. Touch. Some people also use touch as a form of communication. Most commonly, it
is used to communicate support or comfort. This form of communication should be used
sparingly and only when you know the receiving party is okay with it. It should not be
used to show anger, frustration or any negative emotions.
Example: Placing your hand on a friend’s shoulder may convey support or
empathy.

1.5 Identify appropriate lines of communication

Importance of Good Communication in the Workplace

Communication in the workplace is very important for companies to work
efficiently and be productive. Employees can experience increased morale, productivity
and commitment if they can communicate up and down a company’s communication
chain. Employers who spend time and energy to create open communication lines will
quickly create trust among employees, resulting in productivity, performance and overall
morale. At the same time, employees who communicate effectively with their colleagues,
managers and customers continue to be valuable assets to a company.
Poor communication in the workplace will inevitably lead to non-motivated staff that
can begin to question their confidence in their skills and organizations.

How to Communicate Effectively with Your Colleagues

Communicating effectively with your colleagues minimizes misunderstandings and

maximizes work efficiency. Effective communication produces healthy working
relationships, and it will allow you and your colleagues to resolve issues in a
collaborative manner.
Here are some ways to communicate better with your colleagues at work:
1. Listen actively
2. Speak with discretion and talk face to face.
3. Offer constructive criticism. Build and earn trust.
4. Get personal but don’t be too casual.
5. Consider communication preference and technology etiquette. Tell them
what you’re communicating is relevant to them.
6. Keep spoken and written communications short, simple and direct.
Overall, when communicating with your colleagues you should maintain
confidentiality, and treat them as you’d like to be treated.

Tips for effective communication with your supervisor

1. Know what you want to achieve. Before talking to your supervisor, make sure
that you are clear about the goal of your conversation.
2. Choose a preferred method of communication. Some people are more effective
communicating via email while some others prefer to have face-to-face time or a
quick conversation.
3. Schedule your conversation. Be considerate of your supervisor’s time and
schedule when you approach him/her.
4. Be concise and straightforward. When speaking with your supervisor, you
should concisely introduce your concerns or requests and explain why you are
bringing them to his/her attention.

7
 5. Practice active listening. During a meeting with your supervisor, you should
engage to be an active listener instead of worrying about what you are going to
say.
6. Have a positive attitude and be open to feedback. The rule of thumb in
effective communication and a successful relationship is to exhibit a positive
attitude.
7. Communicate regularly with your supervisor to develop and maintain a
successful professional relationship. Establishing an effective communication
channel with your supervisor on a regular basis when things are going smoothly
will make it easier to approach him/her when a problem arises.

1.6 Define work procedures for the location and storage of information

Organizations usually have some of the following protocols in place for the
processing of information:
1. Authority - limiting the number of people who have authority to access sensitive,
confidential or personal information.
2. Security/access - files are protected with passwords for security and employees
are given a level of security that enables them to access only the information
which is relevant to their job.
3. Naming standards - both paper and electronic files need to be well organized and
labeled correctly and consistently so they are identifiable and easily accessed by
employees.
• Indexing is the process of deciding where the document is to be stored
• Coding makes it clear where the document is to be stored –
4. Version control - making sure any new or updated information is correctly
identified as being the most recent by making an incremental change to its
associated letter or numerical code.
5. Tracking processes - most organizations have filing practices in place which
allow the movement of files to be monitored at all times. This could include:
• File movement register – a book, binder or electronic file, recording the file
name, number, date borrowed, borrower, and date returned etc.
• File movement marker – an ‘outcard’ which is placed in the hard copy filing
system where the file came from, or a note in an electronic system showing
the borrower’s details and date borrowed.
• Barcode borrowing system for files (similar to borrowing a library book) or
‘passing slips’ (similar to circulation slips or envelopes) recording the
movement of files.
• Cross referencing – if a file could be located in more than one location it may
be necessary to cross reference the file.
There are two systems of information storage based on TESDA Training
Regulation in Animal Production.
1. Manual filing system
2. Computer-based filing system
What is a file?
A file can be defined as a collection of related records that give a complete set of
information about a certain item or entity. A file can be stored manually in a file
cabinet or electronically in computer storage devices.

8
What is manual filing or storage system?
Manual storage systems involve storing documents by hand in a filing cabinet.
Manual systems need more equipment than electronic systems.

What is a computerized filing system?

A computerized or electronic filing system organizes and stores your business's
files on a hard drive or network space. The system can be software- or internet-based,
or a simple desktop folder/file system on a computer.

1.7 Carry out personal interaction clearly and concisely.

What is interaction?
If you interact with someone — by talking, looking, sharing, or engaging in any
kind of action that involves the two of you — you can be said to have had
an interaction with that person.

How to Interact with Difficult People

Almost everyone encounters a difficult person now and then in personal and
professional life. The best defense against conflict in such a situation is to be prepared
for interacting with difficult individuals.
1. Be honest and direct. State your concern from your perspective, for example:
• I have a hard time concentrating when ...
• I can’t meet my deadlines if ...
• It’s hard for me to be positive when ...
2. Listen carefully
• Listen to what the other person is saying instead of getting ready to react.
• Avoid interrupting the other person.
• After the other person finishes speaking, rephrase what was said to make sure
you understand it.
3. Avoid blaming. Focus on the facts. Finding fault can prevent problem-solving.
4. Stay focused.
• Discuss particulars; avoid generalizing.
• Avoid getting sidetracked into discussing other problems.
• Keep bringing the conversation back to the concern you’ve stated.
5. Say Less. After you tell the problem, allow silence until the other person responds.

Tips to Improve the Way You Interact with Other People

1. Be empathetic. Try to keep the focus on the other person.
2. Be personal. Say how you actually are, or give a quick recap of your day, and you’ll
find there are more opportunities to make a personal connection.
3. Ask questions. As the old adage goes, people love to talk about themselves. The
more you show your interest in others, the more they’ll be interested in you in
return.

9
4. Listen. Don’t interrupt the other person, and don’t get distracted and turn away.
Keep your focus on the person talking, nod your head and show you’re listening.
5. Be genuine. Don’t feel like you have to play a part — you’ll come across as being
fake.
