SFI has great ways to communicate with your team, but am I missing out by not using outside resources too like email, Facebook Messenger, WhatsAPP, etc?
May I suggest that we shouldn’t get caught up in the technology BUT remember that the principle task we wish to achieve is to COMMUNICATE effectively with a team member. It’s not important what technology we use. What IS important is that what WORKS best for each team member.
A communication method is not going to work unless both your team member and yourself are comfortable using it. So we need to find the best ways to communicate with a team member.
SFI’s methods are great but they do not work unless the team member logs in. When we receive a new team member the only outside communication address we are given is their email address. So that is the first “outside” address I use to try and communicate with them.
It also suits me to use email. It is my preferred method because I use it all the time. I can get messages either on my computer or smartphone. It is written so I can go back and re-read it later. Email also allows me to send attachments and website links etc too.
In summary find what method works for that person and use that method. I would suggest also that we try and keep it as simple as possible.
