How can I use multimedia to communicate more effectively with my workers? My workers are located at different sites and in different regions. I need to find a way I can distribute important information so that they read and understand our business directions. It is costly to bring everybody to one location for meetings and discussions. I need to find efficient ways to have meetings and discussions on a regular basis.

EQALS uses open and decentralised media tools that support unrestricted interaction and open communication between organisational members. Impressive and effective media applications present information that is attractive and understandable. Workers are often flooded with a river of information; often important matters may be overlooked. EQALS employs communication strategies that are capable of being distributed in a variety of ways and contexts. Visual information expands the potential for difficult and complex documentation to be shared and understood. In addressing the issues associated with workers that are distributed geographically, simple but elegant electronic discussion facilities can be employed to bring workers together in virtual conference and discussion. This strategy can assist organisations in providing workers equal opportunity with inputting their thoughts and experience. The approach also provides organisations with the capacity to farm and enhance the knowledge capital of their workforce. Frequent and effective workplace dialogue is important to the successful sustainability of business and the maintenance of consistency and quality throughout the various organisational systems and services. In developing organisational policy and directions, it is often necessary to bring the organisational brains trust to a central meeting are. Removing senior staff from the workplace, travel and accommodation can be expensive. Through the provision of virtual discussion and knowledge generation facilities, EQALS can provide cost effective mechanisms for organisations to minimise the cost and inconvenience caused through centralised meetings. Information and discussion can be facilitated prior to workers arriving at the central location. This means that when your senior people come together they are ready and able to cut directly to informed discussion and effective decision making. This approach can reduce the resource burden of central meetings and support the knowledge sharing and distribution throughout the workforce. How can I create greater effectiveness in our induction of new employees? I am not sure that our new employee induction process is all that effective. We always seem to have to go back over things and spend lots of time making sure people comply with workplace protocol. Our quality assurance process requires me to hold evidence that new employees have been inducted appropriately and that they have been exposed to training in the area of workplace safety.

Because of the dynamic nature of multimedia applications presentations can be updated quickly and as required to cover changed circumstance or new workplace policy. Interactive media can also allow for the testing or assessment of workers regarding their interpretation and application of workplace behaviour or protocol. Increase the attractiveness and effectiveness of workplace safety training programs through cost effective multimedia presentations. Online applications can ensure that all employees are given the same training access regardless of their work location or work shift situation. Assessment and recording applications can easily provide data and evidence that workers have been trained in workplace safety and they have engaged in validation of this training.
