Working From Home Communication
ProtocolsTemplate.docx
Good morning Glenda,
Now coming to the end of the pandemic and staff have adapted well to working from home, the Board
have decided to continue with staff working from home 1 or 2 days a week if they prefer. It does mean we
need to update the Communication-Policy-Procedures to incorporate these changes. I have attached the
temporary Working from Home Communication Protocols Sally developed for team communication during
the pandemic, so this needs to be amended where necessary and included. However, I do think we need
more specifics on how we run virtual team meetings and in particular hosting client meetings, we need to
make sure we are presenting a united and professional front.
Part of the reason we need to look at virtual client meetings is we have just won a contract with a new
client; Deafness Foundation, who are a not-for-profit charity working with people who are Deaf and hard of
hearing to facilitate Access, Awareness, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention. There main office is in
Bayswater however will also be supporting the regional offices. Some of the people we will be supporting
are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, so we need to have the ability to use closed captions in meetings and an
Auslan interpreter maybe required. We need to have a better understanding of the needs of our client, so I
want you to investigate further and make recommendations on:
 what information on effective communication with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing need to be included
in the updated Communication Policy Procedures
 the video conferencing software you think we should trial closed captions.
Once you have completed your research, updated team meeting and completed the draft client meeting
protocol this please email them for review.
Kind Regards,

Change is a very important part in business and it affects the overall performance of an organisation. The changes in
policies and procedures of an organisation, makes it integral to communicate them to the employees for avoiding
the errors and costly mistakes. In order to communicate properly with the employees the organisation can use
following methods or ideas. As per your requirements I can recommend certain methods for improving the
communication policy and procedures that are given below: Interpreting and language services for people who are
deaf and hard of hearing are helpful within the organisation. Interdependent audiology and speech services can be
trusted for providing holistic and personalised hearing and speech services. The NDIS services for the people who
have hearing challenges can help to improve coordination, interpretation and listening with the help of technology.
Being clear and concise by communicating straight forward and using easy language can provide better
communication. Considering face to face communication so that important issues and authenticity of
communication can be addressed and being open to two ways communication provides interaction among the
leaders of the organisation and the employees so that they can share their views and communicate effectively.
Feedback and suggestions must be included in the communication policies and procedures so that effective and
efficient changes can be obtained. Providing information is not communication therefore listening to the employees
must be done and focusing on improving communication with people with diversified needs by using various
mediums of communication like verbal, written & sign language.
The use of video conferencing tools during the pandemic have become common and it can help to communicate
effectively with people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Some of the tested applications are like Zoom meetings that
provide closed captions while communicating. Moreover, applications like Microsoft teams provide subtitles and
closed captions for improving the interaction among the people who are deaf. Other software like Google meet is
useful for improving video conferencing and providing closed captions. Their prices vary and it can be accessible for a
month by paying $14.99-$19 per month for Zoom Meetings, $5-$12.50 per month for Microsoft teams and $6-$12
per month for Google meet.

The complete planning has been done and certain aspects are considered that can help to improve the
training and create better information or training sessions. Certain techniques that can be helpful to conduct
effective training sessions and accomplish the goals of organization by engaging every individual involved:
Creating awareness among the trainees by introducing the session briefly and explaining main points
involved in the training session.
Telling them the information about Deep procedures and policy for the session.
Summarizing the overall activity will also help in improving their learning and training activity.
Creating a learning environment can help to guide the trainees towards greater knowledge of success.
Using as much hands on training as possible that can help to demonstrate and apply the learning with
greater understanding.
Frequent tests can help to determine the success or failure levels of tests conducted.
Involved trainees in the training and enhancing their technical skills.
Having a question and answer session for understanding the queries and resolving them.
Solicit feedback on the training session can help to improve the performance.

Good afternoon Glenda,
I have just had a conversation with Jay Gartner – Business Compliance Specialist and Sally Fischer –
Systems Analyst as they are going out to the Deafness Foundation next week for a few days. They have
been fine in the virtual meetings but are a bit nervous about saying or doing the wrong thing and offending
the client when they meet face to face. Can you meet up with them tomorrow for a mentoring session to
refresh the guidelines when communicating with people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and maybe
email them some links to support resources or videos they can study in their own time?
Please keep me in the loop by copying me in any follow-up emails.

terms of interacting with the business people. Jay and Sally have provided some suggestions and feedback
to improve those problems and create better communication information and instructions in future. The
main issues and challenges that were identified are related to the inability of individuals to interact over
voice messages and low confidence while communicating with business professionals. The communication
protocols that were developed were mainly for improving the virtual communication of the employees and
people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Many challenges were faced while communicating with the
