Individuals from higher socioeconomic backgrounds may use more formal language or industry-specific jargon not familiar to all team members, potentially creating barriers to effective communication. Awareness and adjustment of language to ensure it is inclusive and understandable for all team members are essential for avoiding miscommunications.
