\n NEW YORK, March 8, 2023 (Newswire.com)\n -\n <\/strong>In the post-pandemic, hybrid-work world, business teams are spending more time communicating but doing it less effectively. That research finding, and the reasons for it, will be the subject of a talk at the SXSW Conference<\/a> with Abbey Lunney, Managing Director of The Harris Poll Thought Leadership Practice.<\/p>\n

Lunney will be part of a panel discussion titled \"The Path to Productivity, Performance, and Profit through Business Communication<\/a>,\" at 3 p.m. Friday, March 10, at conference venue Central City Brewing. The panel is part of a day-long series presented by Grammarly, developer of AI-enabled communication assistance for individuals and organizations.<\/p>\n

Lunney will be joined on the panel by Grammarly's Kelly MacDougal to discuss the \"2023 State of Business Communication Report<\/a>,\" produced by Grammarly and The Harris Poll.   <\/p>\n

The study's central finding is that communicating effectively at work is a growing challenge for U.S. businesses and employees. It examines the deepening effects of poor communication on everything from productivity to stress, confidence, and job satisfaction.<\/p>\n

\"We know that effective communication is essential to business success, and even more crucial than ever as businesses try to navigate today's market pressures just as workplaces undergo fundamental transformation,\" Lunney said. \"Our analysis shows we're communicating more than ever across multiple channels \u2014 but that communication is becoming less and less effective.\" <\/p>\n

For example, the study finds that employees spent 18% more time year-over-year (YoY) communicating in writing, and that both workers and leaders are using communication channels that are not in real time. However, leaders report a 12% drop in the effectiveness of written communication over the same period \u2014 and a 15% decrease in productivity as a result.<\/p>\n
