Distractions abound in every environment. Whether they are audible or visual, these disruptors detract from the communication between individuals. Such communication barriers may lead to the misunderstanding of directions provided by one person to another resulting in errant execution of a desired process.
Workplace distractions are everywhere; telephones ring, page announcements sound, computer popups appear, co-workers interrupt. Each of these and countless other diversions interrupt the natural progression of work achievement and divert employees’ attention away from the task at hand. Such distractions can cause an employee to lose his or her place when performing critical procedures.
“Do I go to the left or do I go to the right?” A common question asked when one reaches an intersection. Unless one is familiar with the area or has a map, the question may be answered with a nagging ‘gut feel’ rather than with certainty. Sometimes proceeding on the chosen course results in a successful outcome. At other times, it requires backtracking and results in a great deal of frustration, lost time, and unnecessarily spent resources.
