Summary: When communicating over email, etiquette and the overall tone of our emails acts as our body language, accompanying the words we say to craft an overall message. As the number of emails sent throughout the company increases, so does the need to go back to the fundamentals.
Challenge: At Media Inc. (fictional company), the IT department noticed in uptick in unprofessional email communication. This sloppy email technique was spilling over to clients and poses a legal risk if emails are subpoenaed or a Freedom of Information Act request is submitted.
Solution: I created course to review and access the basics of email etiquette. Throughout the course, I used a combination of information, interactive elements, and a real-world scenario to refresh learners on the etiquette of replying all, the subject line, salutation, text language, and signature.
Results:
Increased Engagement- This course received a higher completion rate by employees than the past five trainings put out this year.
Improved Communication - After completing the training, the IT department, noticed a decrease in the amount of text language, unprofessional subject lines, and .gifs sent over email.
