The digital revolution has transformed workplace interactions, bringing both opportunities and challenges. While digital tools enhance efficiency and connectivity, they also introduce complexities like the loss of nonverbal cues and potential misinterpretations. Video communication, despite its benefits, can lead to conflict, fatigue, reduced spontaneity, and increased social isolation. To mitigate these effects, prioritise face-to-face interactions, practice active listening, and use clear communication. By adopting these strategies, we can build stronger, more collaborative workplace relationships across cultural and geographical boundaries.
