Columbus Day Conference Calls

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Happy Columbus Day! If you are like me and don’t work for the government or a bank or one of the other establishments that has today off you are working. But your kids are off so whether your company is off or not you might be home anyway. But thanks to technology working from home is now more the norm and you can still attend those meetings with Columbus Day conference calls. A conference call service for your business allows you to continue to have meetings no matter what comes your way, including holidays that require your business to keep on going.

Columbus Day is one of the holidays where you just might find yourself working from home and you still need to attend meetings with co-workers and customers. Conference calls mean you can attend those meetings no matter where you are and when the calls take place. Conference calling is taken for granted by many businesses because it ultimately saves them time and money. But there are still a lot of companies out there that have not incorporated conference calls into there standard way of doing business. And no better time to kick off using a conference call service than on a holiday or other time when you find yourself out of the office but you still need to attend meetings with co-workers like you are still in the office.

Conference calls not only help your business save time and money but they allow you to still participate in work meetings without being at work. Time with family, vacations and commitments at home can be saved with the use of conference calls. And with Zip Conferencing you can have a conference call service with no cost until you use the service. So there is no excuse not to sign up for conference calls with Zip Conferencing because sign up is free and you will pay nothing until you use the service. That way you can have the conference call service information at your disposal for those times when you need it.

Conference Calls help make Holidays happen

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Sitting here on Columbus Day and working, as I always have, has made me think about all the holidays I have had to work and how conference calls have helped make them happen.  It seems over the past ten years especially, the pressure to produce more with less in the American work place has made it normal to work on holidays.  And it seems there are fewer and fewer  holidays that we celebrate.  So how do you keep up with work expectations and still make time for family and friends on the holidays.  It isn’t the only answer certainly, but conference calls have save more than one holiday for me.

 

Here you are, it is Columbus Day and you have planned to take a personal day or floating holiday to spend with your family because the company you work for doesn’t recognize Columbus Day as a paid company holiday.  And just as you are heading out of the door on the Friday before the holiday you are asked to hold a meeting to discuss a very important topic that is time sensitive and must happen on Monday, your day off.  How can you manage to keep everyone happy and still keep your day off?  Why a conference call of course!  The beauty of technology world we live in is the ability to conduct business from just about anywhere.  As long as you can get a signal on your cell phone and an internet connection, most people can continue to do all of their job functions without missing a beat.  And a conference call allows you to put that technology to work and conduct a group meeting from a distance without sacrificing anything.  With a conference call you can meeting with your group just as you would in person and use a web conference to further enhance your meeting with pictures as well. 

So, enjoy your holidays.  Even when something comes up that requires you to meeting with a group of people you can still have your meeting without physically having the need to go to your office by using a conference call.
