In many, workplaces online communication is now more common than face to face meetings

the growth of technology has led to a fundamental shift in the way companies hold meetings or conference to face to face to online communication like email, instant messaging and social media. while this trend has led to dramatic increase in time and interoersonal communication, it can also cause misinterpretations and security theft. today the number of people working remotely atleast part time has risen because many companies have multiple offices. technologies like skype, slack and other popular platforms help keep the team connected. online communication can contribute to workers talk things out across the globe through a video call. this trend is not only incredible but decreases the chance of miscommunication that could become costly in terms of money and time. however communication online means you will often share the confidential information of the company. hackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in gleaning all those secret stuff. to prevent this to happen employees must be aware of what to share or not in order to preserve the security of the organization. moreover in personal communication several elements come into play to promote effective communication including non verbal signals and tone in the voice. for example if the boss says something gruff tone you will generally understand he is angry. but in online communication you will not have that luxury which is the cons of this trend. In conclusion the online holdings of meetings or conference can be substantially useful for those who tend to work at home or at a faraway distance from the office location. this could be effective as long as it is used in a controllable and understandable way.
