September 28th, 2009 by Jurga Galvan
A recent survey carried out by an internet service provider Lumison shows that nearly 70 per cent of office workers engage in less face-to-face communication compared with 2004.
The survey revealed that advanced technology and easy access to instant messaging, mobile phone or email widely used in the workplace are reducing the direct interaction between colleagues.
Interestingly, when it came down to giving negative news, nearly 95 per cent of respondents preferred doing it face-to-face.
