Email Etiquette

Training and Development

In this age of fast changing technology, email is the preferred and often most efficient form of business communication. Yet many organisations overlook the etiquette framework that should be in place when using this very important business communications tool.

Email is used for more than 80% of our business communication and yet this is not a taught skill. The lack of Email Etiquette often leads to employees doing what they think is the right way, and often doing what others are doing because they think it is the correct way of doing it. Fact is, this should be an area of focus for your organization as it directly impacts on your organizational image and brand.

If your employees are still using phrases like, ‘Please find attached’ or, ‘Document attached for your perusal’ and salutations like Kind, Warm, or Best Regards, then they definitely need to attend this course.

  • What is Email Etiquette?
  • What are the Do’s and Don’ts?
