Communication in the 21st Centaury

Question: Describe about the Impact of culture on communication at workplace? Answer: Impact of culture on communication at workplace Since the world has now become local, organisation has now become multicultural places as multi cuisine restaurants. Communication at work place has now has become more different and two way process. Poor communications practice may lead the organization misleading of information, rise of conflicts and creates huge employee dismissal (Coombs Holladay, 2004). I was very amused by the fact that, cultural diversity can be enriched via communications and language of the nations. Most of the Australian companies like Woolworth and Common wealth banks build the multicultural process of team building which has been one the surprising element for me. EED (European endowment for democracy) conducts various forms of seminar for importance and learning of various languages of world (Democracyendowment.eu, 2015). Via EED sites and networks my I came to know that language at workplace is very much important to sustain in the long run. During my class I came across the EED association that suppor ts enhancing communication skills by giving the grant to that organization who support the multicultural language within the working environment WHS has made several communications legislation requirement in order to maintain discipline at workplace. WHS (Workplace Health and Safety) play important part is ensuring the multicultural employees within the workplace understand the safety and staying healthy norms via various languages (staff.uow.edu.au, 2015). As far as my experience, Australian workplace recognizes the English as their official language and some of major safety signs in order to make the visitors and employee follow the norms. I find it very surprising to know that migrants who are less proficient in English would be given language tuition that may helps the migrants to enhance their communication skills at work pace (Garon, 2011).. However, in comparison of the other nations, Australians work culture is very much relaxed and friendly atmosphere which leads the employees to more socialise.
