Nonverbal communication is a way of human communication even when they are not aware of it. Every element of nonverbal communication, such as facial expression, look, sigh, movement, conveys a message to others in the surrounding. Sometimes it is deliberate and directed expresion, and sometimes it is unconscious. Since nowadays there is a specific and generally accepted „translation“, i.e. the interpretation and meaning of each element, for each segment of nonverbal communication, it is important to know them in order to avoid frequent mistakes in communication, as well as to establish the highest quality and long-term communication. In order to achieve that, it is necessary to harmonize what we say with the way we say it, or in other words, how our body conveys that message. This has proven to be extremely important in business world, where communication plays a key role, from the job interview itself to teamwork, delegating tasks, business meetings, establishing and nurturing good business relationships with partners, suppliers and others. Deceptions and lies happen often in business, so it is necessary to be able to recognize whether the speaker's body reflects the spoken message or there are some small, unconscious signals that reveal insincerity. This paper will show in more detail the importance of nonverbal communication in the business environment. As an integral part of the work, a survey was conducted, the results of which unquestionably confirmed the respondents' awareness of the importance of nonverbal communication and body language in every day communication processes, especially in the business environment.
