Usage of electronic medium of communication, especially using Social Media Communication System like Face-book, Twitter, paved the way of easy communication in offices. Electronic communication system reduces time consumption and creates easy working environment and reduces the chances of complications during working hours (Kovarik, 2011).
It is observed that most of the organisations face similar difficulties of not being able to keep the employees available during the entire working hours. Previously, the mediums like sending SMSs and E- mails during work hours was considered to be easy and appropriate for engaging and informing staffs regarding work matters. As days progressed, these mediums started to get old fashioned and different issues started to be created. People were least bothered to spend their own money to pay mobile bills and sending emails was totally inconvenient as it took longer time to respond (Arslantepe, 2014).
Easier ways to communicate created the importance of using social media networks. These channels are easier to use and is accessible without facing any trouble. It can be used to take opinions from staffs regarding any matter and also to communicate with clients and customers at ease. Hence, using social media platforms is quite easier in the context of free flowing communication.
The best use of using this communication system is:
Communicating through face-book or postpone the communication: Postponing the communication is totally unnecessary in the world of cyber. The means of communication in this context is regarding the change of the attendance system in the company, which is quite important. A small technical change, where the chance of misunderstanding is quite high needs to be completed sooner.
It is better to convey the entire message that has been affected by virus threat can be re done by posting it on the social media platform. It will make the staffs aware of the decision or the message (Isaacs, 2014).
Response channel of the company: During any disagreement among the staffs of the company, and that too publicly, the reputation of the company is also affected. The disciplinary action should be taken personally. The company can use social media to inform the customers and the other staffs that the discussion between the two employees is based on their personal thinking. This message will help to regain the reputation of the company and assure the customers that services offered by the company will not be affected (Shephard, 2010).
