Changes in Communications in the Workplace

From talking in person to each other and doing presentations in front of many board members or companies to today emailing each other back and forth , and having presentations through webcams and video conferencing. Communication has certainly changed in workplaces. Before communication was strong due to the fact that it was face to face conversations or voice to voice through phone but now it is computer screen to computer screen. Face to face communications were able to provide a person with confidence and ability to interact with people you don’t know. Now there isn’t a need to interact personal because of the new technologies available to people in workplaces. There is nothing personal in workplaces anymore it’s all about the context. Work related relationships are affected because of gap in communication in workers. Communicating through emails and messages takes away the emotional values of the context, meaning there is no space for interpersonal communication. For example if there is a communication gap like this, then there is no trust or confidence in each other for the employer and employee. The work level improves through these new communication technologies but there is a loss of the actual reason for communication, which is to convey more than just the context.
