Trends
The way we communicate is determined by the time we live in. Communication experts are usually curious, intuitive people. Internal workplace communication has changed in the last few years. As new generations enter the workforce, internal messages need to be brief and to the point. The rise of home offices is also relevant here. Companies suddenly need to find ways to stay in contact with telecommuters and keep them involved in the workflow.
Communication, 100% of the time
The way we communicate has drastically changed over the past 10 years - and it keeps evolving. Recently, for example, there's been a shift toward direct communication. Everyone is facing a lot of information on a daily basis, so it's important to get your message across in a quick and straightforward manner. Additionally, with technology evolving, people engage visual and interactive communication mediums more than old-fashioned ones.
I've been a communication manager for a while, and if I've learned one thing, it's this: There's always something else to learn. The way we humans communicate is amazing. It's complex, it's varied and ever-evolving. There's so much to learn about the differences between offline and online communication alone. Developing public campaigns, press releases, crisis communication - all of those require a different approach. I love the different challenges my job presents me with, and I love rising to the occasion! - Ex-student speaking
