Physical Barrier

This document discusses physical barriers to communication. It defines physical barriers as obstacles that can prevent a message from reaching the intended receiver and are outside the control of those communicating. The document outlines different types of physical barriers like distortion, noise, time and distance, environmental factors, and defects in the communication medium. It then provides examples of how to overcome physical barriers, such as using email, open-concept offices, and video conferencing, which allow for faster, face-to-face communication across distances. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of ensuring messages are both heard and understood to have effective communication.

• INTRODUCTION
• TYPES OF PHYSICAL BARRIER
• CAUSES OF PHYSICAL BARRIER
• OVERCOMING PHYSICAL BARRIER
• CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
• When perfect and complete communication does not take place
because of certain obstacle or other factors it is known as
communication barrier
• Barriers are divided into groups-Physical Barrier, Semantic Barrier,
Psychological barrier and Emotional Barrier
• Physical Barriers are the obstacles that prevent a message from
reaching the intended receiver may be outside and beyond the
control of the persons concern
TYPES OF PHYSICAL BARRIER
DISTORTION
• Distortion is the meaning of message getting lost during
handling process in communication while encoding and
decoding
• It is related to meaning of the message which is affected
by human perception
• In communication and electronics it means the alteration
of the waveform of an information bearing signal, such as
an audio or video signal in an electronic device
NOISE
• Noise is the disruption found in the environment of the
communication
• It interrupts the communication process and acts as a
barrier and it makes the message less accurate and less
productive
• It might even affect the message from reaching the
receiver
CAUSES OF PHYSICAL BARRIER
TIME AND DISTANCE
• If a message is not sent in inappropriate time, the message
will not have the effect that it should have been met
• The person from Asia will not be able to Skype a person in
U.S. if the time zone difference is wrong and the second pe
rson is sleeping
ENVIRONMENT
• Environmental factors such as wind, rain and other
environmental factors disturb the flow of message
• Natural voices present in the environment disturb
the communication
WORKSPACE DESIGN

• Large working area


• Closed office doors
• Separate area for people of different status
• It forbids team member from effective interaction
with each other
DEFECTS IN THE MEDIUM
• Defects in the medium used for transmitting
messages are external
• It is not within the control of the parties enga
-ed
• The telephone, postal system, courier or ele-
ctronic media may fail
INFORMATION OVERLOAD
• When there is too much information, some of it is
blocked in transit and may not reach the intended
audience
• Advertising and sales information is an example of
information overload

OVERCOMING PHYSICAL BARRIER
Email
• Emails are delivered extremely fast hence, it
avoids the physical barriers
• As teams disperse across the globe, email tends
to become a top form of communication
• Sending a lot of email makes sure you are
surgical in word choice
• By the use of emails employees can get
immediate answers to their questions and easily
track organized conversation online
• By the use of emails you choose the correct
word and stamp out ambiguity which is the only
step to make communication more effective
Open-Concept Offices
• Open-concept offices are designed to
improve workflow and communication
• It substitutes cubicles and corners to open
tables and shared conference rooms
• As organization recognises the benefits of
face-to-face interaction
• This concept has grown rapidly over the last
decade
Video conferences
• Video Conferencing tools continue to
improve each year with increased
video/sound quality at lower cost
• It becomes a tremendous asset in
organizations where regular in-person
meetings are impossible
• It gives the team face-to-face interaction
• It reduces company’s reliance on expensive
travels
• It improves workforce collaboration
CONCLUSION
• Communication is not a one way street
• To have others open to you, you must be open yourself
• You have to ensure that the statement you make is not only heard but also understood
• In this way you can be confident that your point has been expressed
