One of the newest additions to communication through technology is voice messaging. This new technology can either be helpful in the workplace, or disadvantageous to its users due to mis-comunications. Some advantages of video messaging include:
- It allows people to speak in real time (there is no lengthy delay) as if they were actually face to face speaking in person.
- It eliminates travel times that are endured when meeting face to face from distant locations.
- It can also eliminate the extreme expenses involved in sending and employee a far distance in an airplane, and then housing them in a hotel for the duration of the trip.
- Job interviews can be done throughout a video conference. This makes it much easier for an employer to contact many possible candidates without having to meet in different locations.
Some disadvantages of video messaging include:
- Equipment glitches (such as broken microphones etc.) that can cause issues within a conference call.
- In terms of online job interviews, if a candidate has been hired they still much go to the actual job location to physically fill out paperwork.
- In order to take part in video messaging, all parties must have purchased the equipment necessary (such as video cameras, speakers, microphones, Internet access etc.)
