4.Research says more and more business training and business meeting are taking place online. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
It is argued that online platforms are used more and more for
meetings
and professional development. Although
it is easy to be distracted, I believe that the use of the internet
brings benefits in cases of emergency and also
reduces time
.
On the one hand, the lack of communication causes workers
to be distracted by other things. When carrying out online activities, people
can do other things at the same time
as attending meetings
, so they are not paying attention to what others are saying. This
may cause misunderstandings or errors when doing the job. For example
, at calls done on the Internet
mostly everyone has their camera off, then
it is impossible to see their emotions and what they are thinking, causing difficulties when communicating. However
, I believe that this
is not a big problem since this
can be solved easily by asking workers
' opinions and by talking afterwards in the office.
On the other hand
, online programs are the best options in cases of accident and for reducing time
. This
is because employees from the same level learn the same things, and online courses can be recorded and uploaded on the company’s webpage for future workers
, in this
way, the trainers don’t need to teach the same thing again and again, reducing the time
of teaching. Also
, people
can access the internet
at any moment in any place. If the workers
have to do something important and they are unable to get the call, then
the meetings
can be recorded and watched later. For instance
, normally all companies will record their meetings
, since they last
around two to four hours, then
recording the video conferences permits people
to watch it again if there is something that they doubt. I believe using online programs is much more worthwhile than having only face-to-face communication.
In conclusion, although
using the Internet
people
can be inattentive, it is very useful in cases of emergency and it reduces time
in repeating activities, it is, therefore
, better if using technological advances in the company.Submitted by elenazheng1211 on
