Key Lessons
Difficulties Encountered and How to Overcome These Difficulties: Enriching the contents, checking the spelling rules, keeping them up-to-date and simultaneously translating them into 6 languages require a team effort on their own. One of the difficulties encountered is that such a team cannot be formed due to the insufficient number of personnel. Changes in the names of institutions, combining the numbers of emergency call centers under a single roof, changes in legislation and practices cause the information in current practices to become outdated. In order to prevent this situation, it is ensured that the texts are kept up-to-date as much as possible by giving importance to the updating studies and asking the opinions of the relevant institutions.
Recommendations(if the practice is to be replicated)
Innovation
Live in Turkey Site was put into service in 2021. Keeping the content of the site up-to-date and enriching it with new content will allow the site to be preferable, and thus the work to be sustainable.
The Covid 19 Effect: The aforementioned innovative tools are important as alternative information channels, as the trend towards content and information studies has increased through remotely accessible channels instead of face-to-face communication and information channels with the effect of pandemic conditions.
The realization of innovative applications and the increase in the number of people who download/follow these applications will contribute to the use of different innovative tools at the corporate level in the future.
