Business Description: Speak Easy Speech Services SLP P.C. dba World Class Speech Services was founded in July 2002. It is a certified Minority/Women Business Enterprise for NY state and NY city. The president and owner is Dawn Cotter-Jenkins (MA, CCC-SLP; MSHI). World Class Speech Services is a multifaceted company that provides professional solutions to improve speech and communication personal and technology needs for individuals and organizations.
1. How much time has been wasted in miscommunication that creates disgruntled workers or customers? Losing good people and revenue, or adding expenses to readvertise to refill the position or find new customers.
2. How much better can the people in your organization work with fewer bottlenecks in interpersonal communication? Intervening in disputes and calling in HR to mediate.
3. What has it cost your company in wasted workflow hours to go to meeting after meeting to make decisions and strategize? What should have been done in three meetings, ends up taking six.
Speech and communication in the workplace can directly or indirectly affect the productivity and success of your company. If your employees are interacting with customers or clients, it is important for them to carry the company messages in a clear and direct manner. If they are relaying information to each other, instructions and follow-up need to be effective and direct. Employees may come from a diverse range of departments and need to both listen and speak for maximum effectiveness and timeliness, minimizing going back and forth for clarification. Leaders, employees, and clients benefit from improved communication. Whether it’s for sharing information, sales, or leadership, ongoing skills development is often needed.
Communication challenges in many workplaces can be in:
· Speech clarity
· Message content
· Listening skills
· Interpersonal communication styles
Avoiding these challenges can save time and increase productivity and outcomes. When coworkers know how to improve their speech, voice, and communication they can express their needs and share information much more efficiently. Learning techniques and strategies for better communication, as an individual or team, can improve confidence and build collaboration. Doing so cuts down on miscommunications, allows for better feedback and follow-up, and saves time in workflow.
