She is actually worried about his mental health. She wants to tell HR or someone anonymously, but given she is the only person who works with Eli, he’s going to know who said something. She’s tried to bring it up with Eli, but each time he tells her to mind her own business.

Last week we talked about the importance of written communication skills in the workplace, so now we want to talk about the importance of verbal communication skills.
Like written communication, it can be easy for misunderstandings to arise with verbal communication. Conflict, confusion, or mistrust between employees can happen when there is a lack of effective communication.
When co-workers can communicate well, they feel understood, build stronger connections, and work better as a team. Who wouldn’t want that?
If you are in a position at work to help teach and foster better communication habits, this is for you! And if you just want to work on your own verbal communication skills this article is also for you!
