Update your e-communication skill set to build relationships and get the results you're looking for.
In a survey compiled in 2020, Project.co found the majority of people in an organization regularly had to repeat information to others, and most found that annoying. In addition, in our post-2020 world, people are working in many different ways and myriad places. Finally, in many workplaces, electronic mediums make up the majority of our professional communication channels. That is why it is important to be well-versed in the etiquette rules of various mediums used for electronic communication.
This presentation will share best practices for using proper etiquette when communicating electronically via phone, email, instant messaging, and social media or web platforms. It will also share tips on identifying the most appropriate electronic medium for various types of communication. Finally, it will demonstrate why professionalism still matters in these mediums.
