communication so that all employees as well as management could achieve
organisational goals and objectives (Susilo and et.al, 2020). In context with
COVID-19 pandemic, there are many issues which are preventing people to take

factor that may hinder the smooth flow of interaction within all the people.

problems was that areas in which tests were being done was far away due to
which people finds it inconvenient to go to that place.

different status and outside territories due to which they are not able
communicate with each other about benefits of taking vaccine.
 Emotional barrier: In context with the situation of pandemic, there are
many people in United Kingdom who doesn't prefer to take vaccine
because they don't want to get close with people and are also scared that
they might get sick after taking vaccine (Werling, 2020). It becomes a
barrier in communication in terms of fear and mistrust among people. As

whether it is beneficial or not.

 Not listening to other people: - It becomes a major challenge in doing
effective communication if an individual doesn't listen to other people.

challenge for UK government also to convince the people to take
vaccine. If they don't listen to their audiences, then no individual would
prefer to take the vaccine.

listening is the most important thing (Falcão, Ramalho and Nobre, 2020).
The individual should properly understand about what other person is
saying so that the receiver also gets interested in doing conversation with
people.

effective body language. While doing communication, an individual should
not show up their emotions in front of everyone so that no kind of
misinterpretation gets occurred.
