There are four different types of workplace communication. They are:
1. Verbal communication: It is also referred to as in person communication. Verbal communication can take place one on one or between groups through meetings.
2. Written communication: Written communication can be in the form of e-mails, memos, text message, etc. Official communications generally take place through e-mails or memos.
3. Body language or facial expression: These are forms of non-verbal communication. They tend to communicate the happenings of our sub conscious mind to the outside world.
4. Phone conversations: Using phones for conversation has become evident part of our daily business communications. If the employees are not in one location this becomes a very important mode of communication along with emails.
