How would you rate the overall level of communications and collaboration at your company?

A professor at Stony Brook University has written about the problem of "virtual distance" in the workplace. This sense of psychological and emotional detachment grows gradually when most encounters and experiences are mediated by screens. How effective is collaboration at your organization?

Our employees collaborate very effectively across virtual communications platforms, more often than not choosing the most appropriate platform for the task at hand and generally being able to understand (and deliver) the right tone in online communications.

Our employees collaborate well for the most part across virtual communications platforms, but time and resources are sometimes wasted when employees use a platform that is not right for the task at hand.

Our employees are ineffective at collaborating and communicating across virtual platforms, with intended messages often getting "lost in translaton" and time wasted as colleagues labor to explain themselves in multiple messages.
