\nTechnology sometimes gets a bad reputation, especially in the business world. \u201cMy email inbox is too full!\u201d complain many employees, with some companies believing it\u2019s so damaging for efficiency and morale that\u00a0internal emails are totally banned<\/a>.\u00a0But, is technology the monster it\u2019s made out to be, or does it actually have a positive impact on business communication? We think it\u2019s the latter\u2026<\/p>\n Firstly, technology makes internal communication more efficient. Admittedly, it\u2019d be great if we all got up from our desks to talk to our colleagues, but that\u2019s rarely practical, or even possible! For one thing, we\u2019re often so busy that it\u2019s simply better to fire off a quick message, and it\u2019s often preferable to communicate in writing when we\u2019re sending files between computers (just so we know where things stand if someone didn\u2019t quite hear us!). Moreover, using emails, internal chats and messaging helps us to keep tabs on our workloads, enables us to keep our colleague in the loops, and even enables us to collaborate with peers in different offices or those who work from home.<\/p>\n Secondly, technology helps us to say the things we\u2019re too self-conscious to say. If you\u2019ve ever done a good job at work but felt like it would be bragging to say so, you might find that technology can help to make a positive impact. For instance, the kind of add-ons that are available at http:\/\/upraise.io<\/a>\u00a0help to ensure that employees are praised in a timely manner when they\u2019ve performed well, and that their performance reviews take place with relevance and context. So, technology can be really useful for cheering on quieter team members who don\u2019t always get credit or recognition for their work \u2013 undoubtedly a positive impact!<\/p>\n
