In the wake of the pandemic, both corporate headquarters and frontline workers have increasingly relied on advanced video conferencing to connect, profoundly altering communication habits even in the post-pandemic era.
Kalogiannidis’s study (2020) confirms that "emphasizing effective communication in an organization helps employees to share information, ideas, or knowledge and skills which enable them to effectively perform to the expectations of the employer." Improving the efficiency of workplace communication is a challenge for managers, and investing in the right technology, such as advanced video conferencing, may be a worthwhile consideration.
The surge in video conferencing among corporate headquarters and frontline workers post-pandemic can be attributed to several key factors:
- Social Distancing: During the pandemic, remote work and social distancing measures were adopted by many companies to reduce gatherings and minimize the risk of transmission. Video conferencing emerged as a vital tool for maintaining business continuity and communication, replacing traditional face-to-face meetings.
- Work Flexibility: With many employees transitioning to remote work, the need for fixed workplaces diminished. Video conferencing offers employees greater flexibility, enabling communication anytime and anywhere, without geographical or time constraints.
- Reduced Travel: Restrictions on travel and in-person meetings led to a significant reduction in face-to-face meetings and business travel. Video conferencing served as an alternative solution, facilitating remote meetings and communication, thereby avoiding unnecessary travel costs and logistics.
- Enhanced Efficiency and Cost Reduction: Video conferencing saves time and effort, reducing costs associated with business travel. It can also accommodate more participants and facilitate quicker decision-making, enhancing work efficiency.
