With a new semester starting, and a reminder that being a professional is a habit, not an occasion, it was timely to receive a blog this week by Brittney Helmrich, Business News Daily Staff Writer, on the basics of good email etiquette. You can read it here.
It is a quick and easy read, but has a few very good reminders on what a good email does and does not have. In brief these are:
Do:
- Keep calm
- Proof read
- Stay concise
Don’t:
- Use buzzwords
- Put anyone down
- Punctuate poorly
And please use the CC and BCC functions properly.
The challenge for you is to run your emails through these filters for just one day and see how you go.
The Avondale Business School can advise your organisation on being effective in these areas – find out how by contacting Warrick Long at the Avondale Business School.
