WORKPLACE COMMUNICATION 2
(Body Page)
In today’s workplace, communication takes many different forms. Around the world, colleagues
are communicating in ways unheard of 20 or 30 years ago.
In her article “Good Internal Communication Doesn’t Just Happen,” Molly Mosley (2019),
shares strategies for having workplace communication among colleagues that promotes an
energetic, communicative, and collaborative work environment.
Mosely’s key points are to build trust by showing interests in employees during small talk, try
to be an active listener, ensure that employees have access to specialized communication
training, and allow employees to have an open door policy on feedback (2019). By keeping these simple points in mind, a leader of an organization will have created an environment where
colleagues can communicate freely with one another and their supervisor.

I always required my students to type the date completely, not type it in the casual style that uses slash marks. Thus,

Double-check with your instructor to be sure.
Otherwise, everything looks good.
To help you with formatting your paper in APA format, here are the necessary steps:
1. Margins: APA format requires 1" margins on all sides. Make sure your document has the correct page setup with 1" margins.
2. Font: APA format recommends using Times New Roman font in 12-point size. Check that your entire paper is written in this font and size.
3. Bold print: In APA format, the main body of your paper should not be in bold print. Remove any bold formatting from your document.
4. Double spacing: APA format requires double spacing throughout the entire paper. Make sure your paper is formatted with double spacing.
Now let's review the content of your paper:
1. Running head: The running head should be an abbreviated title of your paper, in uppercase letters, and should not exceed 50 characters. It should be aligned to the left in the header section of each page. In your example, the running head appears correctly at the top left of the first page.
2. Title page: Your title page should contain the full title of your paper, your name, the name of your college, the course name and number, your instructor's name, and the date. In your example, your title page includes all the required information.
3. Page numbers: In APA format, page numbers should be placed in the top right corner of each page, starting from the title page. Your example includes page numbers.
4. In-text citations: Whenever you refer to an author's work within the body of your paper, you need to provide an in-text citation. In APA format, this includes the author's last name and the year of publication in parentheses. For example, in your second paragraph, you correctly cited Molly Mosley's article, including her last name and the year of publication.
5. Reference page: At the end of your paper, you need to provide a reference list that includes the full information for each source you cited in your paper. The reference page should be titled "References" and should be centered at the top of the page. In your example, you have a reference page with the correct title. However, you only provided limited information for the article by Molly Mosley. In APA format, you need to include the full title of the article, not just a description. Additionally, you need to include the complete publication information, including the web address if applicable.
Overall, it seems like you have followed most of the APA formatting guidelines. Just make sure to correct the formatting issues mentioned above and provide complete information for your references.
