Employee Communication Through SMS

Greetings for the day ahead!!!

I am in complete agreement with for.shri

For instant communication, it has to be mobile especially in cases where everybody is not in front of his/her workstation. The logic

1. For keeping record of communication, one can use sms services from computer. There are many available in the market. In such SMS , the message goes from a name and not a number, and thus corporate identity is maintained, as well. ( Posted earlier by for.shri)

2. As far as mobile being personal is concerned, most of the people today have two mobiles - work & personal. Even if , anybody has only one mobile, we all use it for the official purpose in office hours.

3. As far as deleting sms is concerned , that may be a worry but once the practice is started people will start looking into sms before deleting it.

We have deployed this tool in our org and this is very successful and helpful, actually.

Just to substantiate,one of the biggest banks of India runs puerly on SMS, especially BD & wealth mgt.

My personal views, not meant to offend anybody.

Dear All,
In advancement of technology it is wise to utilize rather than keeping it shelfed. In case of employees on the move not all will have Laptop with Data card but many have cell phone, certain messages like to attend meeting, Wishes, or any information to be conveyed to the employee like some one whom he interacts with is on leave etc can be informed via SMS. It is easy and of course quick.
Best Wishes,

Hi,
I accepted the view of Jayashree and Basu roy communication through Email which useful to record maintain and review the same (Database) and also agreed the statement of shri. Either communication through email or SMS is based on the need of business concern or area. certain communication should be maintain as a record (need to review)and some may not so.
For E.g
E-mail necessary - Conversation related to decision making, forwarding the technical data's, and so on.
SMS - follow up the works,sending Reminders and more applicable for field Executives
Above discussed communication(Email or SMS) is really effective based on the situations.
thanks & regards

Dear Friends,Official communication through email is important for you all because it keeps records, agree with you all. I will say if system got virus or hard disk crashed then you will loose everything stored on it.SMS is new invention of communication, helps to get in touch with all the employees of the company at a one point of time. Here important is to communicate to all employee whether they are on field or in office.now a days, companies offers mobile connection with GPRS active for access the email on the move.In short, we need to accept the new patterns of communication like SMS and continue with old email pattern as well.Thanks to you all.Ketul Shah.

Just want to add...
I belive that human always will do wht come first in there hand in emergency, like in todays world mobile(SMS) for informing important things.
I feel its fine for emergency purpose only, but for daily communication you prefer Emails. now you can also access emails from your cell.

SMS is good for sending short messages only like attend meeting at ____ or follow up matter etc. but as far as important communication is concerned E-mail or letter to be used.
