Uber Case Study Answers

a. Analyse the impact of faceless communication by Uber on its driver partners.

Answer:
 Face to face communication involves a combination of verbal and
nonverbal communication.
 It ensures that the message is communicated with an impact. In the above
context the Uber driver partners communicate strictly through a device.
 If the employee has done good work or is rewarded only through the stars
and the app .Everything is done through the app. As written form of
communication it just ends up being one way communication.
 There is no human face or voice to make the communication real. An app
is just the efficient use of technology and can never replace human
communication.
 Or in an instance where an Uber driver is terminated it just communicates
the decision through the app.
 Again here the driver partner doesn’t get a chance to narrate his side of
story. There is no one to listen to a disgruntled employee.
 It does not inculcate a sense of belonging amongst its employees.
