Introduction

Learning how to actively listen to what others are saying can improve your communication and help you reach your goals. This assessment focuses on applying the skill of self and social awareness to active listening by listening and responding to a scenario in the workplace. You will do this by applying active listening and oral communication strategies to reply effectively to a voicemail from your manager.

Overview

This assessment asks you to use what you have learned in the first weeks of the course about actively listening and responding in the workplace. You will do this by responding to a voicemail from your manager and applying active listening and oral communication strategies.

Instructions

For this assessment, you will listen to a voicemail, take notes, and record and submit a response. To successfully complete the assessment, complete the following steps:

1. Consider this scenario: You are a customer service specialist at ABC, Inc. On Monday morning, you check your phone and discover you have a voicemail from your manager, Wanda, about a customer service issue. She is worried because one of the company’s most important clients has not received their shipment. While she acknowledges the shipment issue is not your fault, she needs you to work quickly to resolve the issue. To help you address the problem, she has outlined some tasks that must be completed in order to fast-track the solution.
2. Listen to Active Listening: Voicemail. You may want to read the transcript for additional clarity. (https://media.capella.edu/CourseMedia/com1200element20738/wrapper.asp)
3. Refer to the Six Ws Worksheet for Assessment 1 [DOCX] to outline and draft your recorded message. How do you think your manager is feeling about this situation, and how can your recorded message help put her mind at ease? Note: You are not required to submit the Six Ws Worksheet with this recorded assessment.
4. Now that you have heard the voicemail and applied active listening skills to the message, apply oral communication skills to effectively respond to the voicemail. Use any recording device for your recorded message; save your audio file and upload it to the Assessment. Make sure your response:
   • Describes the main points from your manager’s message.
   • Uses neutral language and tone appropriate for a response to your manager.
   • Assesses the importance of the issue based on the manager’s tone.
   • Is limited to one minute or less.
5. Evaluate your voicemail and how you think Wanda would react by reviewing it and seeing if you think it addresses what you noted on your worksheet. If needed, re-record your voicemail.
6. Submit your voicemail.
   • To submit your voicemail, upload your audio file to the Assessment. Select Assessment>Upload>Drag a file or Choose File>Submit Assessment.
   • You may also use Kaltura to record your voicemail response. For information about how to record with Kaltura, review the tutorials on the Using Kaltura resource page.
