Managing remote staff – the power of conference calling

Employing remote staff can be a wise and beneficial decision both for the employer and the employee. Remote staffing offers a great employment opportunity for people who are skilled and committed workers, but perhaps more suited to introverted work than contributing to a wider team. It is also an ideal solution for people who are not easily able to travel to work for any reason, including having young children or a disability.

Conference calling – not just for the business environment

You hear the words ‘conference calling‘ and what do you imagine? The phrase evokes a sense of professionalism, formality and efficiency. And yet, since when are multi-person conversations only considered a thing of the business world? We all have friends and relatives scattered around across towns, cities and even seas, and conference calling – particularly completely free conference calling – offers an ideal way to keep in touch.

With WHYPAY? there are absolutely no additional charges incurred by holding a conference call instead of a two-person phone call. This is because the conference call just like a normal two-person call, will be included in your bundled minutes, and if you have none available, it will simply be charged at your standard rate for landlines (01/02 number rates).

To make matters even more straightforward, there is no necessity for any kind of specialist equipment. Your WHYPAY? conference call can be accessed from standard mobile or landline phones, payphones or even services like Skype.

Estimating the financial benefits of conference calling

Although teleconferencing services have been around for a while, some companies tend to ignore it in favour of email and chat programs. However, neither email or chat programs can be as beneficial as conference calls. Both forms of communication can be unengaging for busy people, to say the least. For companies that believe in face to face meetings, they can be difficult to co-ordinate, time consuming, and most importantly, very expensive. Travel, accommodation, and other utility expenses for participants that are from out of town can make a big dent in a company’s budget. This is why conference calling is the ideal alternative and has the potential to become a potent business communication tool.

What are you missing out on by not conference calling?

In recent years, companies have realised the need for worldwide expansion. Thanks to breakthroughs in communication technology, the task of dealing with employees, clients, and customers from all over the globe has become much easier. Teleconferencing has become the preferred mode of communication to reach out to people in remote places.

Without teleconferencing services, companies end up spending significant amounts on travel and other related expenses for their staff. Coordinating seminars and promotional conferences becomes more difficult when you have people at different locations. A company representative that requires putting forth a proposal for a business deal in another location will need to spend on travel, lodging, and incidental expenses despite no assurance that the client will accept the proposal.
