Definition: Bulletin Board
Bulletin Boards are the most basic means of communicating with employees and can be a hassle- free method of conveying the new policies and procedures to all the employees. It also serves as a valuable evidence in case of an agency audit, a lawsuit or a grievance.
Bulletin boards are prevalent at universities. It can be used to inform the students anything going on in the university.
Online bulletin boards are prevalent nowadays. The emergence of online bulletin boards was due to the fact that the online internet forums were replacing the traditional bulletin boards. This made the job easier for the uploader as well as the reader. For example, a group of employees organized an event and they were to put up the poster of that event on every bulletin board present in the office. It would be easier for them if they were to upload that poster onto the online bulletin board instead of going to every bulletin board.
