Communication is very important in many ways working at Home Depot. It can solve problems that our customers have so that we can give the best customer service we can. Communication and knowledge is everything we have multiple phones that ring every five minutes, customers asking us questions that we might not have a clue about but with communication we are able to direct them to the right person to help answer their questions. Communication is a safety tool we use on the job too with all the heavy machinery we use to bring items down from the overheads. We tell the customers for their safety that we will need them to step out of the aisles if we are pulling down a heavy pallet. With this communication brings safety to our customers. Not only is this key with our customers but also with our own staff, if help is needed in a certain department we call for help on our phones. This key tool has created great working relationships for me and others and helps us work better as a team at Home Depot. Communication is also key in other areas of my life like relationships and any team sports I may play in. In relationships communication is needed to stay on the same page about things and to show feelings to each other. Its keeps the relationship close weather its a friend or love relationship. In the team sports I have been involved in hands signs are thrown in form of communication that the other team does not recognize let each other know what they are doing and verbal communication are used. Usually when my team is talking and letting each other know what we are thinking and doing it usually leads to a win. If everyone knew how to talk and communicate their thoughts and feelings effectively I believe most of the conflicts of the world would no more. Many times when I say a single word it can change someones day or turn an enemy into a possible friend. I try to use the power of speaking and writing to make other peoples day better on the job, in a relationship, on the field. Writing and communicating are very important in each of our lives and should use it for good to help and shed light on others.
