Employees hate business jargon because not only is it overused, but it can create a fake, insincere kind of communication. Relatable language fosters honesty in workplace interactions.
Terms like 'synergy,' 'circle back,' and 'the new normal' distract from genuine communication. They sound pretentious and make speakers appear to be putting on an act.
Overly-enthusiastic business jargon can be patronizing. It’s a transparent attempt to make a situation sound unrealistically positive, which employees can easily see through.
Instead of cliched phrases, using plain language resonates better with employees and fosters a culture of honest communication, reducing the disconnect between management and team.
