IN RECENT YEARS ONLINE COMMUNICATION IS GETTING MORE COMMON THAN MEETING FACE TO FACE. OFTEN REPLACING THE TRADITIONAL FACE TO FACE MEETINGS AND ACCORDING TO ME THE ADVANTAGES OF COMMUNICATING ONLINE OUTWEIGHS THE TRADITIONAL FACE TO FACE COMMUNICATION.
ONE MAJOR ADVANTAGE OF ONLINE MEETING IS EMPLOYEES CAN COMMUNICATE FROM ANYWHERE REMOTELY WHICH MAKE THE JOBS OF BOTH THE PARTIES A LOT EASIER. ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE MEETTINGS CAN BE NO NEED TO TRAVEL WHICH CAN OVER A PERIOD OF TIME CAN SAVE A LOT OF MONEY. APART FROM THAT WORKING REMAIN MORE CHILL AND BECOME MORE PRODUCTIVE BECAUSE OF LESS STRESS. THIS ALSO ALLOWS WORKERS TO WORK FROM THEIR HOMETOWN AND CAN EVEN SAVE THE CHARGES OF MOVING TO A NEW CITY SETTING YOUR WHOLE SETUP.
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE OF ONLINE COMMUNICATION CAN BE IN TODAYS TIME MOST OF THE COMPANIES HAVE ALREADY SWITCHED USING SERVICES LIKE ELECTRONIC MAILS(GMAIL), MESSAGING APPS(SLACK), ALL OF THIS MAKES SHARING, STORING ALL THE DATA, DOCUMENTS EASY FOR THE COMPANY, MEETINGS CAN BE SETUP EVEN QUICKLY WITH ANY THIRD PERSON INTERVENTION WHICH RESULTS IN MORE EFFICIENCY AND THE WORK CAN BE WRAPPED EVEN FASTER.
ON THE OTHER HAND IT CAN ALSO HAVE MAJOR DISADVANTAGES SUCH AS IN TRADITIONAL FACE TO FACE MEETINGS YOU CAN KNOW A PERSON BETTER BY JUDGING THEM BY THEIR BODILY LANGUAGE AND FACIAL EXORESSIONS WHICH CAN REDUCE MISUNDERSTANDING EVEN FURTHER. IN CONTRAST, ONLY MEETINGS MAY FEEL IMPERSONAL AND CAN SOMETIMES LEAD TO FEELING OF ISOLATION TO THE EMPLOYEES.
IN CONCLUSION, ONLINE COMMUNICATION MAY NOT FEEL VERY PERSONAL BUT IT TAKES THE SCALE WHEN IT COMES TO INCREASING MORE EFFICIENCY, FLEXIBILITY AND COST CUTTING.
