It’s almost hard sometimes to remember that communication hasn’t always been an instant process. Thanks to the simplicity and the ease of all the new channels that are available to us, great communication has never been so effortless, in general life and for your building product business too.
With many of us making the abrupt shift to working from home, internal and external communications have changed. Businesses that have failed to adopt a communication process that works for them may be inadequate in ensuring staff are working to high standards.
This blog will help you learn how you can adopt the new way of communicating, read on to find out more…
Visual Forms Of Communication
Video is an extremely effective tool for communication, and it can be used for networking, presentations, demos and so much more.
Your construction company should be encouraged to use video effectively — particularly to connect emotionally with your team — over other forms of communication.
Videos can be used to encourage seamless operations and it can even be used to train employees.
For example, if an individual needs help with a task you can share your screen and visually show them what they’ll need to know to understand their task.
Platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams are great for this, with these platforms you can arrange meetings, conferences and even webinars.
Adopting Digital: Instant Messaging
Although Zoom and Microsoft teams can be used as messaging platforms, it’s good to utilise specific messaging platforms for digital adoption.
This is because they’ll have more features to organise workspaces, share files and create separate channels.
It will also help drive efficiency within your building product business because it’ll save the time it normally takes formulating emails.
Slack is one of the best known and most widely used instant messaging apps for businesses.
It offers one-on-one messaging, group chats, individual and team audio calls as well as video conferencing.
The Google Hangouts Chat app has also grown into an excellent communication tool for businesses of different sizes.
It features deep integration with the G Suite productivity tools including Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar and Mail.
