Go through most offices, factories and other working
environments and one of the main things workers complain out is
the lack of communication within the company. This is true for
companies in the United Kingdom, the United States and beyond so
this article looks at what forward thinking companies are doing
to address the age old issue of communication breakdown with it
costing the earth.
Can you remember what we ever did before the internet? As a
communication tool the internet certainly takes some beating.
Yes, the internet is open to abuse and contains millions and
millions of pages that can really only be described as rubbish.
However, as a way in which to communicate, source products and
services and make purchases, organize you finances and stay in
touch with family and friends, the internet has certainly seen
the way in which we communicate changed beyond belief.
However, for businesses, the internet also brings with it its
own problems with staff using work time in which to surf the
net. So whilst the internet is great for many things it is not
necessarily the best way for businesses to communicate.
There are however a couple of alternatives for communication
that many modern businesses are now embracing to stay in touch
with staff and get around the issue of lack of communication.
The first of these are modern intranet sites which can provide
an extremely useful communication tool. Traditionally these have
been pretty boring sites which were usually controlled
exclusively by management with no real input from staff. This
perception of the intranet site is now changing with content
often updated and managed by the workforce themselves. This
allows for an honest and frank exchange of views and news which
many forward thinking companies are encouraging.
From information about staff, about the company, product and
service updates to general information about team night outs and
social activities the intranet site is a highly effective and
successful way to communicate with staff.
Another way in which companies are embracing communication is
by providing staff and particularly those who work on a large
site with two way radios. Two Way Radio is a system that
benefits from instant communication over a wide area without the
call charges and network coverage problems that are often
associated with cell phone technology.
2 Way Radios like the Motorola XTN446 also mean lone workers
have a friendly voice at the end of the handset and therefore
safety as well as communication is enhanced.
For businesses ranging from schools and college to factories
and sports stadiums, two way radios are a great way for workers
to stay in touch for a fraction of the cost of other forms of
mobile communication.
Modern two way radios are also robust, portable and give
companies a fail safe way for workers to communicate either at
their premises or even when employees are working offsite. An
example of this is how schools are using handheld radios not
only on campus but also when taking students on field trips.
This means their children are kept safe and secure at all times
for minimal amounts. At a time where the safety and welfare of
our children is never far from the news, this is great news for
schools, nurseries and colleges.
Communication tools like intranet sites and 2 way radio do not
have to cost the earth and yet the benefits they can bring to a
business are substantial. If you want your business to be the
best it can be, make sure you invest in technology and do not
have a communication breakdown.
