Communication Analysis: Nonverbal Messages

Until the exponential growth of technology, humans have long interacted face-to-face which
allowed for communication with verbal and nonverbal cues. Communicative coherence, as ten
Brinke et al. (2020) refer to this concept, is still vital to know how to send and interpret verbal
and nonverbal messages. Since nonverbal messages are constantly being sent and they can
convey the majority of a message’s meaning, it is essential in business communication to be
attentive to nonverbal cues of those interacted with whether it be an employee, supervisor,
client, co-worker, or even the delivery person (Lehman et al., 2024). Both the sender and
receive should be aware of nonverbal cues as it can increase the richness of interactions or
alternatively, cause offense.

Nonverbal messages are conveyed in different ways, but it is always important for all parties to
pay attention to those messages. Nonverbal cues can indicate truthfulness or manipulation,
which can help make decisions such as whether an interviewee is prepared and well-fit for the
job so should be hired or if a supervisor is being truthful about passing along feedback to their
supervisor (ten Brink and Weisbuch, 2020). Similarly, from the other perspective, an
interviewee can gauge if there is true interest in their skills and experience or the supervisor can
tell if an employee is truly giving feedback because they see it benefitting the organizational
culture versus the employee disguising the “feedback” as a personal complaint. These
situations include metacommunication and visual and vocal kinesic communications, a
combination of underlying messages not expressed with words, body language, attire, and
intonation (Lehman et al., 2024).

Interestingly, ten Brinke et al. (2020) also note that comprehension of a message improves
when the communicator is seen-their head movements, eye movements, and coordinated hand
gestures contribute to comprehension. On the other hand, it was noted that body language or
hand motions that did not match up with words being said (saying “cut” while making a pulling
gesture) caused a loss of comprehension. In business, comprehension is essential since it can
lead to goal achievement.

Not only are important decisions and goal achievement affected by nonverbal cues, but respect
can also be shown which can be critical in intercultural communications (Stoian, 2020). Good
business communication includes being aware of proxemics, territoriality, personal space, time,
and haptics to build positive relationships and send clear nonverbal messages. For example, if
interacting with an Italian businessman, emotional expression would likely build a connection
whereas in the German culture, it might be offensive and off-putting, leading to potentially losing
business. (Stoian, 2020). If a meeting does not start on time or runs long, it might not affect
someone from Hawaii but someone from Switzerland could be highly offended. Haptic
communication, physical touch, should be limited if interacting with a Japanese client, but a
client from Latin America might feel a lack of connection without being greeted with a friendly
handshake or maybe even a hug.

Business communication should strive for clear and concise messages that can be
comprehended, and nonverbal cues play just as much of an important role as verbal cues in
successful communication.
