What Is Telecommunication & Networking in Business?

Use telecommunications to improve communication when in-person communication is difficult or impossible. Don’t use it to eliminate all interpersonal interaction in the name of efficiency. If your employees work from home, have them meet in the office once a week to maintain a sense of team spirit. Many managers have used this strategy with great success. If you’re web-conferencing with someone who works half an hour away, an occasional lunch may benefit your relationship. Additionally, if you’re presenting in a web conference, remember that it can seem more difficult than an in-person presentation. Not seeing your audience can be daunting, and you probably won’t have any breaks for questions until the end, so practice giving your speech to a computer screen beforehand.
