    Verbal communication is a type of
    communication where we use spoken and written
    words to get our message and information across to
    the other person.
    Nonverbal communication or body language
    is the use of gestures, tone of voice, expressions,
    body posture, and so on to send a message.
    Written communication is the exchange of
    information, ideas, or messages through written
    language in the form of letters, emails, notes, and
    more.
    • Communication in the workplace is important because
    it boosts employee morale, engagement, productivity,
    and satisfaction. Communication is also key for better
    team collaboration and cooperation. Ultimately, effective
    workplace communication helps drive better results for
    individuals, teams, and organizations.
