Maximize Workplace Collaboration with Visual Communications

1. Vidyo Blog Post | August 1, 2013 Maximize Workplace Collaboration with Visual Communications Author: Team Vidyo Don’t know about you, but I often feel like I’m drowning in a sea of digitally communicated words! Texts, emails, IMs and the like seem to have taken the place of actual conversations. Not only do our personal lives suffer from this, our workplace has transformed into a place where we constantly need to deal with the data driven craze– as the inundation of electronically transmitted words — information, questions, issues all needing to be responded to ASAP – never seem to end. But the workplace still appreciates communications. Don’t you agree? Even more importantly, many organizations require face-to-face meetings with fellow colleagues occasionally, if not all the time. The benefits of face-to-face meetings stretch beyond making decisions on the fly, it also helps people adjust to emotional cues and allows for a better sense of team and relationship building for ultimately better business productivity.
