...Running head: BUSINESS COMMUNICATION TRENDS Business Communication Trends Vickie Johnson University of Phoenix Professor Michele Lively Business Communication Trends Business depends on communication and both are changing. Everything that I do involves communication. Good communication in business is about sharing information in ways that is useful to my coworkers, and the customers when processing claims. Currently I am an offsite employee with BlueCross BlueShield as a Claims Associate I. I process claims for military families and my role of communication is by e-mail messages and letters. Responding to my manager, coworkers, and customers help me manage my daily work activities that allows me to provide excellent customer service.

Communication starts within the workplace with an environment of honesty, support, and teamwork. Before becoming an offsite employee as a claims processor I worked onsite for three years in which I had to call providers and customers for information to process claims. I had to listen when I first started this job to ensure that I would know how to process claims efficiently. We are grouped in a team called a POD.

...Business Communication Audwin L. Johnson (Aj) Com/285 August 2, 2010 Dr. Cheryl Lentz Business Communication Business communication is a critical element in my line of work. My section supplies a service to another section in the form of recordable media. My section is responsible for the insertion of the media into devices to be analyzed later. To accomplish this task my section must know when it is needed to be installed, removed, and transported to be analyzed. To find this information we must communicate with the section that does the scheduling. In turn the scheduler must communicate with the section that operates the equipment that my section inserts the media in to. After the installation and use by the operator, my section then retrieves the media and transports it to the analyzers. If there is a broken link in the chain of events, we may fail to insert the media or worse, we may never retrieve the media which may result in a security violation. My daily work activities are based on when the media is required and how long it is required. Once that information is known we can plan everything else around this. If the operator has issues with the equipment, the message also needs to be relayed to my section because we also service the...

...consideration in business communication Anthoney Stampp MEMORANDUM TO: All Employees FROM: Training Department DATE: November 17, 2014 SUBJECT: Effects of Audience-centered approach to Business Communications CC: Board of Directors In order to improve efficiency in our organization, we should explore the audience-centered approach when communicating with customers. This will ensure that our customers get the best information and our company remain viable in the competitive business environment. The Audience-centered approach is significant in business communication because it emphasizes understanding, respecting and meeting the need of your our audience members. It is an inclusion approach that caters to all. This new model also emphasizes the individuality of the stakeholder and thus the uniqueness of the corporate image that he or she holds. Consequently, research into image formation needs to distinguish the variety of the images held by respective stakeholder groups (Cornelissen, 2000). Adapting to Audience Needs: Always try to give priority to the audience’s goals, hopes, interests and preferences. This can be achieved by adapting the “you’ attitude as opposed to “me” when communicating to customers. Adapting to audience needs also means obtaining good background knowledge of the audience thereby being able to communicate and empathize with them relevant ways. As writers charged with fashioning effective communication, we are advised to...
