How one communicates with one's managers is extremely crucial in today's workplace dynamics. Manuel D'Souza, director-HR, Serco Global Services, suggests that the employees should list out their messages and weigh the queries and challenges beforehand before presenting their thoughts. "Before initiating discussions, if the employees list and ponder over their thoughts, it will be of great help as they will be able to convey the message correctly, without creating confusions and controversies. An effective way of communicating during such instances would be to tailor make your message while reaching out to certain people at the workplace." He adds that it surely goes a long way to have effective communication with your supervisors as they are the ones who monitor your performance and contribute greatly to your growth path.
