On the same token, during an interview an HR Manager might assess a candidate's body language to determine whether or not they are genuinely interested in a position, whether or not they are comfortable during the interview process and even whether or not they may be lying about their answers. This would require skillful mastering of body language analysis but would prove beneficial in selecting the best candidate for a position.
An employee can either boost his/her career or harm it depending on the type of body language they use. If they send the message verbally that they are interested in what their co-workers or managers have to say, but always listen or speak with crossed arms and a slumped over posture, they may actually be sending the message that they are not interested at all and may be viewed as defensive or un-motivated by co-workers or managers.

It is important when working in a business environment that one looks at both body language and other cues when attempting to interact and interpret messages. By doing so one stands the best chance of fostering open and clear communication among peers, customers, clients and managers.
Body language may even be seen as more important than the written or spoken word because it reveals so much about a person with direct inquiry into their thoughts and feelings.

If all business people were trained in interpreting body language, communication might be more easily accomplished within the workplace because people wouldn't be struggling so hard to get at the true intent or meaning of a communication.

In the final analysis, people have been learning how to acquire language for millennia without the assistance of scientific investigation, but the need for young people to do so quickly in an increasingly multicultural country and globalized marketplace is more important than ever before because they will probably have to learn a second (or third) language at their earliest opportunity.
