There might be language barriers between people of different ethnic backgrounds; people of different ages and people with different levels of industry experience. Any language barrier is going to slow communication or create .misunderstandings that makes communication ineffective.
While communicating within the organization it?s important to communicate in an official language that everyone can understand. This will minimize language barriers at the workplace

One way communication can become an ineffective way to exchange information throughout the company. Employees and managerial staff should provide feedback at all times to improve the quality of information disseminated and the manner in which the information is delivered. For example, if a department tends to send out information in a format confusing to other people in the company, then that department needs to be informed of its communication problems immediately or else the information coming from that group will always pose a communication challenge.

- New Hires

Companies that at do not include communication training in their new-hire orientation programs will be forced to struggle with new hires who are forced to learn proper communication procedures by a process of hit and miss.
