Impact on professional life (1)

Communication becomes rather important when considering ones professional life. This is due to a number of factors, some of which I have listed and explained below.
  • Businesses are able to communicate with their employees, informing them about any changes within the business
              - Businesses are able to utilise modern day communication techniques in order to inform their employees of any changes within their establishment. Be this referring to temporary closure, or any other information which may be of benefit to the employees. This is an advantage of using communication today as professionally, businesses are capable of dispatching information to all of their employees in an organised and effective manner. 
  • Communicate with separate locations worldwide, be those international branches of the same company, or other businesses who may be distanced, but still have ties with the business
              - When most businesses start to operate on a multinational level, it can become difficult to coordinate the business. However, modern communication methods make it simple to bypass such issues; major corporations are able to share information across continents through services such as online portals and email – two services which both allow for businesses to instantly dispatch information. Essentially, this means that businesses can function in a more orderly manner, as each country in which they operate in receives a similar service, which in the long run would possibly increase the company’s reputation globally.
  • Video conferencing to secure deals with other companies
              - Video conferencing is a service which operates using the internet as its backbone. Groups of people can come together from any locations worldwide, and can initiate virtual environments through which each party is able to see the other, as well as hear and speak to. This is especially useful for large businesses, which may be located in separate parts of the world, to create business partnerships or secure major deals. Ultimately, this saves the business thousands of pounds as they do not have to spend great amounts in transport costs to meet each other in person.
