Recent research has shown that business meetings and training are increasingly taking place online. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

#research #business #meetings #place
Many businesses today choose to hold
meetings
 and do training online, rather than in person. While
this
 has certain drawbacks related to interpersonal relationships, I still feel
this
 is a positive trend because of its positive impact on employees with
families
. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both sides in detail. Conducting the majority of business
meetings
 online has a potentially negative effect on the social dynamics of a company. The preference for online communication sacrifices essential elements of human interaction in the name of a more efficient, utilitarian process. When folk sit in a room together, for training or a meeting, they are more likely to form strong interpersonal bonds. They will be able to see each other’s body language better and there is a good chance they may socialise in person afterwards.
For example
, employees might go for drinks or even just have a private chat about the meeting or training while still at
work
.
This
 is much less likely to happen when

 are working from home or a remote location and using online tools like Skype to communicate. Companies that choose to do more training and have more
meetings
 online are making life more convenient for their employees with
families
. At some point in their lives, most people must face the challenge of working and having a family. If both the mother and father
work
,
then
 one of them might have to give up their job to stay home or they will have to hire an expensive caretaker to look after their child during the day. If more
meetings
 and training took place online,
this
 could free up time for people in certain jobs,
such
 as IT workers, to
work
 entirely from home and look after their children during the day. They will still have to make time for the training but at least they won’t waste valuable time commuting to the office. The move towards increased online training and talk may sacrifice some of the social aspects of
work
 but
this
 is more than made up for by the convenience it allows working
families
. In many
families
 today, both the mother and father have to
work
 to make ends meet and we should support any efforts to relieve their financial and physical burdens. You can download it here.
