As every employee knows, one of the most fundamental characteristics of a happy and productive workplace is good communication.

When everyone is on the same wavelength and working towards the same goals, you're much less likely to have mistakes, accidents or disagreements.

You'll also avoid embarrassing misunderstandings, like the one shown in the cartoon on the Just for fun page.
