Email Etiquette in the Workplace

March 25th, 2022

Employees spend approximately one-quarter of their day reading or writing emails and a bunch a pure crap!

 

Today’s post is our SafeSourcing Archives.

Employees spend approximately one-quarter of their day reading or writing emails. The following are some basic guidelines on email etiquette.

  1. Include a clear, direct subject line.
  2. Use a professional email address.
  3. Think twice before hitting ‘reply all.’
  4. Include a signature block.
  5. Use professional salutations.
  6. Use exclamation marks sparingly.
  7. Be cautious with humor.
  8. Know that people from different cultures speak and write differently.
  9. Reply to your emails — even if the email wasn’t intended for you.
  10. Proofread every message (do not rely on spell check).
  11. Add email address last. Keep your fonts classic. Nothing is confidential — so write accordingly.
  12. Emojis do not belong in your emails.
  13. Keep tabs on your tone – you could be misinterpreted.
  14. Double-check that you’ve selected the correct recipient(s).
