Many business people spend up to half of their time writing email. But studies at one large corporation showed that more than forty percent of work emails are understood differently than the sender intended. And disagreements flare up three times as frequently in email as in other modes of communication. What's wrong with email? Is your organization suffering from emails that hinder more than help a project? How can you change the email culture of your group, or at least weed out the most problematic behaviors? This workshop provides the solutions.
We examine the kinds of email, the types of email writers, and the essentials of an effective and properly understood email message. You learn how to avoid the most common errors, and how to defuse crises before hitting the SEND button. We will also:
- Develop an email technique that saves company time
- Avoid offending or misdirecting colleagues
- Set the right tone for your team and project
- Vary your e-mail style for different purposes
- Accommodate multicultural and multilingual recipients in an organization
Bring your laptop to the workshop. You'll sharpen your skills by improving typically problematic corporate e-mails.
