Nonverbal Correspondence and Its Significance at Work Environment

Abstract

Throughout the day we spend time with our  colleagues at the workplace. We used to communicate with  each other and transfer our thoughts, feelings, emotions and  experiences. After analyzing the schedule of the whole day  it has been observed that we use language to communicate  but most of the time without spoken words we convey  messages effectively just with the help of some cues,  expressions and symbols. It proves that humans can  communicate with language or without language. When we  communicate with language it is called verbal  communication and when we communicate with any other  medium other than language that appeals to our senses and  information is transferred between two individuals we can  call it nonverbal communication. People give importance to  verbal communication at the workplace but most of the  time they neglect the importance of nonverbal  communication. Nonverbal communication is an important  aspect of the 21st century as it lays emphasis on behavior of  an individual at his place of work. Interpreting and  analyzing information are keys in understanding messages  but most of the time interpreting nonverbal cues is a big  challenge. This paper will focus on various aspects of  nonverbal communication which are playing a vital role at  the workplace.
