Discovering Communication in the Moroccan Workplace Talk to a relative, parent or other individual you know who currently works in the Moroccan workplace. Ask him/her to rate the importance of interpersonal, organizational, team, speaking, written communication and presentational skills in his/her workplace. Explain to him/her the course you are taking and seek feedback on how these skills might benefit you as you try to integrate into the marketplace in the future.Also ask him/her about how things have changed (if they have) in the last 10 or 15 years. In a brief memo, discuss your findings, making sure to identify the business or organization in which the individual works, his/her role in the organization, and perhaps how long he/she has worked for this organization or business.
