Recruitment / **Why is visual communication important?** [**Fiona Spreckley**](https://blog.bps-world.com/author/fiona-spreckley) March 23, 2016 My role as Executive Assistant is office based in Maidenhead, a core part of my role is to communicate regularly with my colleagues and suppliers across a range of locations including Warrington, Prague and Miami to name a few! To communicate across so many geographic regions can prove challenging. My preferred communication style is visual, this trend is reinforced by research from Psychologist Albert Mehrabian who believed that *"up to 93% of all human communication is non-verbal."* Communicating visually allows body language and mannerisms to be interpreted easily. This delivers better results by promoting a team work vibe and speeds up the decision making process. From a time management point of view I can always be in the office but meet suppliers without leaving my desk. BPS has a companywide visual communications system we use to connect our satellite offices, candidates and clients. This video conferencing system is what I use to hold meetings when previously I would have had to leave office to attend.  This is very helpful working in a global market as travel costs are kept to a minimum. The system is very easy to use and self-explanatory, it took me about ten minutes to learn. You can invite people to a “meeting” by email and with a simple click you are visually connected.  It is an invaluable tool for a company operating in a global market. Are you visually connected yet?
