The Growing Cost of Poor Communication
Many employers believe that effective listening skills are critical for success. In fact, according to Harvard Business Review, ineffective listening is one of the most frequent causes of lost customers, misunderstandings, missed sales, low employee productivity and morale - and billions of dollars in lost profits and increased costs.
The Cost
SIS International Research discovered that 70% of small to mid-size businesses claim that ineffective communication is their primary problem. Their study found:
- A business with 100 employees spends an average downtime of 17 hours a week clarifying communication.
- This translates to an annual cost of more than $525,000.
- Managers and office workers earn 40% of their salaries listening; executives earn up to 80%, but the vast majority only half-listen.
- Human resource professionals estimate that more than 80% of the people who fail at their jobs do so for only one reason––they can’t listen and communicate effectively.
“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.”
~ Stephen Covey
