And the Survey Says ....

As businesses not only expand into global markets but more and more utilize a global workforce the strains on conventional communication tools and devices are obvious everywhere.  All great international communications are considering how to effectively utilize the new array of digital media - facebook, You tube, tweeter, blogs, text messaging, apps for smartphones, etc.  Just as the breath and depth of information itself is not lacking neither or the choices to deliver this data. 

So in considering the array of communication devices/tools currently available at your workplace, is there a place for a blog as a means of communication for a global organization?

Please respond to the following three questions:
1.  If a blog was developed with general information specific to this department how often would you access it? A. once a week B. once a month C. probably never
2. Given the confidentiality of business info would a blog still be worthwhile if the information was focused more on organizational changes, promotions, awards, community service events, etc.? A. Yes B. No C. Not sure
3. Would you prefer we considered facebook as our primary digital media? A Yes B. No C. Something else
For you to respond to the survey follow these easy steps:
A. At bottom of post there is a text box that's titled: "Post A Comment".  This is where you provide your responses in the form: question# - Letter matching your response such as 1 - A, or 2 - C or 3 - B
B. At bottom of this text box select drop down menu options and select "anonymous".  That way there is absolutely no way I will know the source of the comments.
C. Click on "Post Comment" and you're done.

Feel free to review the other post on this blog including those in the archives located on the right hand side.

    I think that a blog would be a better way to communicate, if the business feels that is the best way to reach out to a younger demographic. In response to your questions:
    1) C - I would access a blog very infrequently, unless it pertained directly to my job. There are so many sites and sources of information as it is, that it would seem more like one more place I had to log in to access information.

    2)B- I thought that we already received emails about those things (awards, promotions, etc) and GE has its own community service website that has that information.

    3)C Facebook is more of a personal site that I believe should be kept separate from work.

    I am not a social networking person in regards to blogs, facebook, etc. However, I do like to be informed of departmental information.

    Q1 - A, If it was kept up-to-date it would be a better method of commmunicating as current emails that go out with this type of information can get lost quickly as your inbox fills with other messages.

    Q2 - A

    Q3 - B, I think facebook would be more distracting because of all the games, types of messages, etc. A blog would be more focused on the things that matter without the distractions.
