Barriers of Communication

Common barriers to effective communication at workplace:

 Physical barriers: Physical structure, location and construction of the workplace acts
as a barrier to effective communication. Employees seated remotely from each other
hinders effective interaction.[14]
 Language barriers: Employees with different native languages will be working in an
organization. As everyone in organization are not comfortable with native language
of the other person, language acts as a barrier for effective workplace
communication. Language barriers, such as differences in slang or register among
second language speakers, within a workplace can create issues impeding proper
work task completion.[15]
 Cultural barriers: Employees from different cultures, following different practices will
be working in an organization. This cultural diversity among the employees can act
as barrier for effective communication at workplace. The workplace significantly
influences working women's language use, with solidarity and professionalism being
key factors driving changes in their language across different settings.[16]
 Emotional barriers: Emotional barriers like fear, inferiority, shyness, lack of self
confidence and skills will stop an employee in communicating effectively with his
colleagues.
 Perception barriers: Employees will have different experiences, values, preferences
and attitudes. These may lead to a variety of assumptions and can act as a
communication barrier.
